AB Capers in brine

AB Capers are a staple pantry item in Greece, typically sold under the private label of the AB Vassilopoulos supermarket chain. The product consists of high-quality caper buds preserved in a traditional brine, widely used in Mediterranean cuisine to add a salty, tangy flavor to salads, sauces, and seafood dishes.

Historically, the brand is tied to the AB Vassilopoulos company, which was founded in Greece in 1939. Over several decades, it grew into one of the most prominent retail chains in the country. Today, the brand is part of a massive international retail network. The manufacturing of these private-label capers is primarily centered in Greece to ensure the authenticity and quality of the local Mediterranean harvest.

The brand is currently under the umbrella of Ahold Delhaize, a global grocery retail group formed by the merger of Ahold and Delhaize Group. This ownership provides the Greek brand with significant logistical and corporate support while maintaining its local identity and deep-rooted presence in the Greek market.
