In the first half of the year, Italy imported over 100,000 kilos of capers, prompting agricultural organization Coldiretti to highlight the issue of agri-food fraud involving products labeled as 'Made in Italy' and those protected under the Dop brand. A recent seizure of over 13 thousand kilos of untraceable capers by the Carabinieri of the Nas of Catania in the Aeolian Islands underscores the need for vigilance, especially with Sicily's distinctive caper products, such as the caper of the Aeolian Islands PDO and Pantelleria Igp, facing fraudulent activities. These products are not only part of the Mediterranean diet's traditional pacts but also are uniquely characterized by their environmental, territorial, and climatic conditions.
