About the product

So what is a cornichon? A cornichon is not just a cucumber; it is a special species of cucumber that is grown in Europe and identified by the small bumps on its peel. It is prepared in vinegar and sugar, not in salt as is the custom for pickled cucumbers in Israel. The seasoning is also unique: mustard seeds, coriander seeds and shallots.

When served

Cornichons are best as a snack next to a steak or inside a meat sandwich. They can be sliced in two along their length and serve as an ornament to Gauda sandwiches or goat cheese sandwiches. Leave some for the guests!
