Pickles

Pickles on this page span a genuine mix of traditions — British-style piccalilli and ploughman's pickle, Melbourne-made bread-and-butter and dill styles built on apple cider vinegar, and South Indian tomato achar — all doing the same job of cutting through rich food with acid, spice and crunch. They're built for the cheese board and the ploughman's lunch first, but the Melbourne-made styles are made for burgers, hot dogs and toasted sandwiches, and the tomato pickle is built to sit beside a curry as an accompaniment rather than a garnish.

Start with Acide's Bread & Butter Zucchini Pickles for a sweet-and-tangy burger topper, their Pickled Dill Cucumber Chips for a classic crinkle-cut sandwich pickle, Tracklements' Perfect Ploughman's Pickle for the traditional English cheeseboard pairing, or Mudgeeraba Spices' South Indian Tomato Pickle for a genuine curry-side achar.

The real differentiator is the spread of technique — apple cider vinegar quick-pickles from a Melbourne kitchen sitting alongside a century-old English recipe and an Indian spiced achar, rather than one base style relabelled six different ways.

Most of the range is gluten friendly and several are vegetarian or vegan. Proper pickle, whichever tradition you back.
