Salt packed capers?
Any thoughts on where to get authentic salt packed capers, similar to the ones they sell at Di Bruno Brothers in Philly?

I don't know about authentic but i'm sure you can get them at any of the better Italian importers- A. litteri, Viareggios, or the Italian Store.
Maybe even Dean and Delucca, Whole Foods, Sutton Place.

Di Pasquales in Baltimore has them.

You can go to their web site and have them shipped. Great store by the way.

Recently I saw on the shelf of an Italian grocery store (it may have been Vace in Bethesda) one of the more common brine-soaked brands, and next to it was a bottle of capers looking (and labelled) salt packed, the same brand. I bought it, but from the taste the capers were clearly packed in salt after they had been brined. They were very vinegary.
