As the buds ripen from May through July, the plants are picked over constantly. Capers are collected by hand, and sorted by size before being naturally preserved in salt water and a tiny amount of vinegar - a much preferred packing method than packing just in vinegar. Caper buds grow quickly, and the time they are picked determines the size. Non-pareils ("without peer" in French) are picked first and are the smallest size, medium sized capers are allowed to grow a bit longer.
