EMELA Soured Barrel Cucumbers in brine - 680g (best before 16.09.26)

EMELA Soured Barrel Cucumbers are crafted using traditional natural fermentation methods. These 680g cucumbers are "soured" in a salt-based brine without the use of vinegar, resulting in a complex, tangy flavor and a characteristic firm crunch. Enhanced with a classic blend of dill, garlic, and horseradish, these pickles offer the authentic taste of old-fashioned barrel curing. Perfect as a probiotic-rich snack or a staple ingredient in regional soups and salads.

Ingredients:

Cucumbers, water, salt, garlic, dill, horseradish root, mustard seeds, natural spices. Naturally fermented. No vinegar. No artificial preservatives. Contains mustard.

Quick fact:

Because these are Soured (Kvashenye) rather than pickled with vinegar, they contain natural lactic acid. This traditional "barrel" method not only preserves the cucumbers but also creates the deep, savory "umami" profile required for authentic Rassolnik soup or Olivier salad.
