Frantoi Cutrera eggplant caponata is a celebration of Sicilian culinary heritage. The sweet and sour side dish originates from the southern Italian island. Is this your first time buying from us?

Serve the tangy caponata on top of toasted bread. It’s like an instant bruschetta topping. You can stir it through pasta or serve it as a side dish for meat and fish.

Frantoi Cutrera starts with a soffrito of onions, carrot and celery. They’re finely diced and sautéed in Sicilian olive oil. To this flavourful base, they add tomato sauce and fried aubergines. Basil and oregano give the sauce a Mediterranean flavour.

A splash of vinegar gives caponata its sweet-sour taste. It balances the richness of the slow-cooked tomato sauce.

Aubergine caponata is a delicious addition to a grazing board. Serve it with Italian cheese, olives and cured meats. It’s best enjoyed at room temperature.
