Character
Distinctly bitter and intensely salty, with a firm bite. The bitterness can be controlled: rinse multiple times and replace the brine with fresh water; they will become milder with each rinse.
Vinification
The fruits are pickled whole in brine and preserved through natural fermentation, without heating. This process continues in the sealed jar and manifests as a fine fizzing; this is not a defect, but part of the process. Store in a cool, dark place.
Food Pairing
In Mallorca, they are placed on the table before the meal, to accompany a glass of wine or vermouth. Also as a snack in between, alongside bread and cheese or chopped in a salad.
