Ceres Organics Organic Sliced Gherkins are traditionally prepared pickled cucumbers, sliced and preserved in a balanced blend of organic vinegars, herbs and spices. Crisp in texture with a bright, tangy flavour, they are designed to complement a wide range of savoury foods without overpowering other ingredients.
Made using organically grown cucumbers, these gherkins reflect a simple, time-honoured approach to pickling. The combination of white vinegar and herb infused vinegar creates depth and acidity, while dill, mustard seed and warming spices add subtle complexity. This makes them a versatile pantry staple, suited to both classic and modern cooking.

Extended Information
Pickled gherkins have long been valued for their ability to add sharpness and contrast to meals. The acidity of vinegar helps cut through richer foods, while the crunch of cucumber adds texture. In sliced form, gherkins are particularly practical, making them easy to layer into sandwiches, burgers and wraps without extra preparation.
The herb and spice blend used in these gherkins draws on classic pickling traditions. Dill and tarragon contribute fresh, aromatic notes, while mustard seed and spices such as coriander and fennel add warmth and balance. Calcium citrate is included as a stabiliser to help maintain firmness, supporting the crisp bite many people expect from quality pickles.
Beyond their use as a condiment, sliced gherkins can be chopped into dressings, added to potato or grain salads, or served alongside cold meats and plant-based alternatives. Their sharp flavour also pairs well with cheese, making them a useful addition to grazing boards and casual entertaining.
