If you are an absolute pickle enthusiast, you have come to right place. We’ve got you covered with a short list of some of the best pickle varieties, and what recipes and meals they are best enjoyed with. Keep reading and delight in all things pickles.

Kosher Dill

It’s in the name! Kosher dills are perhaps one of the most popular for a reason. They keep it simple, crunchy, and delicious. Enjoy them with a pastrami sandwich or a turkey on rye and a Dr Cherry Browns for the ultimate deli experience.

Sweet Gherkins

These baby pickles are truly a delicacy. We recommend them on a charcuterie board with various meats and chesese such as turkey and havarti. The salty sweet combo will be a great addition to any boards with saltier and bolder cheeses and some merlot.

Horseradish Pickle Chips

A little bit new to the game, this pickle variety has taken the pickle world by storm and with good reason. This spicy yet sweet pickle is a slow burn that will be excellent on top of a burger or hot dog with some spicy relish and mustard.

New Pickles

Not so new, but an old favorite. These pickles are those that are still reminiscent of a cucumber, and more mild than a half sour. These pickles are crunchy and subtle and excellent on their own as a snack or on the side with tuna and rye and a handful of chips.

Half Sours

These pickles are a deli favorite, and thats exactly where we like to enjoy them! Eat them on the side with a burger, deli sandwich or along with a piping hot bowl of Matzo ball soup.
