Perello Gherkins 2.5kg

Perello Gherkins

Perello Gherkins 2.5kg are small baby sized gherkins, also known as pepinillos, produced for professional kitchens and generous home entertaining. They are marinated in vinegar with mustard seeds, silverskin onions, and black peppercorns, giving a clean acidity, gentle spice, and a firm, crunchy bite. Carefully selected and pickled while small, these gherkins keep their texture exceptionally well and deliver consistent flavour across large volumes. Designed to complement rich and savoury foods, they are a natural partner for cheeses, charcuterie, pâtés, and classic sauces, while also standing up well in restaurant service and catering use.

Why are large format gherkins popular in professional kitchens?

The larger pack size offers consistency and efficiency, allowing chefs to use the same product across boards, sauces, and garnishes without switching ingredients.

Do pepinillos hold their crunch when chopped or mixed into sauces?

Yes, their small size and firm structure mean they retain texture even when finely chopped, making them especially suitable for classic sauces and dressings.

Are these gherkins intended mainly for cold dishes?

They are most commonly used cold, but they can also be added at the end of warm dishes or sauces where a sharp, fresh contrast is needed without softening too much.
