Leading speciality food importer and distributor Empire Bespoke Foods, which owns the Mrs Elswood pickle brand, is launching a new range of premium Mrs Elswood Cornichons which are perfect for cheese and charcuterie boards.
The whole, mini pickled cucumbers are available in two flavours; Original and Cornichons & Onion. A versatile and tasty accompaniment to a wide range of savoury foods, they’re perfect for livening up a cheeseboard and will be available from July (RRP £1.65 per 215g jar).
“The Mrs Elswood brand has long been associated with a wide range of uniquely flavoured whole and sliced gherkins,” commented Jonathan Hehir, Senior Innovation Manager at Mrs Elswood pickled cucumber brand.
“As the latest addition to the Mrs Elswood family, the Cornichons continue the heritage of the brand’s distinctive flavours but also offer consumers a new and modern taste sensation.”
Mrs Elswood Cornichons (baby gherkin cucumbers) are harvested while still young for maximum crunch. They are then pickled with Mrs Elswood’s unique blend of seasonings to create the perfect balance of salty, sweet and piquant flavours.
“Whilst typically associated with charcuterie plates and cheeseboards, Cornichons are a popular stand-alone snack and also add a welcome tang to many types of sandwiches, wraps, grilled foods, burgers and salads,” added Hehir.
“Sharper in flavour than traditional gherkins, they add a whole new dimension to taste and texture while their unmistakeable versatility makes them a store cupboard must-have!”
