The Pickling Process

We have been perfecting the pickling process for over 90 years. To start, the cucumbers are selected based on their size and freshness to ensure we deliver only the highest quality, best-tasting pickle products to our customers. Next, the fresh cukes are placed in a jar with the brine (pickle juice) and we add the spices to the jars. We cover the pickle juice, which includes vinegar and other flavors and ingredients. The pickles are then pasteurized to just the right temperature and quickly cooled to make the product have a decent shelf life. Lastly, the pickles are packaged and distributed to stores all throughout the United States. Find Mt Olive Gherkin Pickles at a store near you.

Are gherkins the same as dill pickles?
