Pickled Cornichons - Olives Et Al
Small Spanish cornichons with a crisp bite and a clean, vinegary sharpness. Pickled in brine and spirit vinegar.
Cornichons are the little gherkins picked young, so they stay crunchy rather than going soft in the jar. These come from Spain and are jarred by Olives Et Al in Dorset with nothing fancy in the recipe - brine, vinegar and the cornichons themselves.
They earn their place next to pâté, terrines, cheese and cured meats, in a salt beef or pastrami sandwich, or chopped into mayonnaise or tartare sauce. Also good scattered over warm potatoes with herbs and mustard.

FAQs
What is the difference between cornichons and gherkins?
Same vegetable, different stage. Cornichons are picked very small and young, so they are crunchier and sharper than the larger, often sweeter gherkins.
What do you eat cornichons with?
Charcuterie, pâté and cheese boards most of all, but also raclette, a salt beef sandwich, or chopped into tartare sauce and potato salad.
Are they vegan?
Yes - Olives Et Al list them as vegan and gluten free.
