Jumbo Dill Pickle-In-A-Pouch - 6 Pack

Really salty. Slightly more sour

Awesome

Love these

Not a fan. The dill have a weird taste. The pickles have thick tough skins . Maybe the calcium chloride or other chemicals impact the taste. Above was my review. The producer saw my review and reached out. I didn't demand a refund or ask for anything. I just explained that ypu can't please everyone and taste /experience is subjective. In this business climate where everything is going up in price, they generously provided a refund. Their way of doing business is a class act and 5 star! Give them a try. You might really like them.

Ok, first, let's hit the salt issue. It's a pickle. Pickles are salty. These pickles are delicious, and as far as the pickle itself being "too" salty, I'm just going to have to go with "no." The brine is amazingly salty, and while I normally covet the brine as an extra treat, this brine teeters on the edge of being an inedible substance. And yes, I do detect a significant hint of the plastic container in the brine flavor, but not in the pickle. But since the pickle is the thing being sold here, I'm just having more than a little bit of trouble holding any of that against the product. I do wish it were less salty and free of the plastic undertones, because as I say, I love brine, but I also strongly suspect that this nuclear brine is part of why I can have a non-refrigerated pickle in a pouch that can live in the light and room temperatures and not find it a well of Bacterial Horror. Having said that, the way Van Holten's rates the pickle is 1/5th of a pickle is a serving, and one serving is 16% of your daily recommended salt intake, so if you eat one of these pickles, you just chowed down 80% of your sodium allowance (referenced to a 2000 calorie diet.) Which is, how shall I put it... a pretty aggressive salt intake. Looking at another product I buy locally from a national supermarket chain, it's 1/2 pickle is a serving, and for that, you get 9% of your salt intake, so 18% per pickle. These pickles, however, are much smaller than the Van Holten's, so we're still looking at a lot of salt for the same amount of pickle. I've worked through about 1/2 the entire package, which is about six pickles, and I have to say that these are very consistent in terms of flavor and size. The only thing about the pickle itself I'm not that fond of (and hence, 4 stars), is that there is a low-to-moderate level "hot" flavor component, as if some peppers were used in the brine, which is definitely not my cup of... ok, brine. Even so, I'll be buying more of these; there's nothing comparable on the market here. I highly recommend them if you're a pickle aficionado. On the other hand, if you're not, you are definitely going to notice that salt level, and likely you'll not repeat the experience. The good news there is that there are many milder products out there, just work your way methodically through your supermarket's selections and you'll likely find something that suits your palette.

These are absolutely horrendous. I love pickles and make gallons of them every year, both vinegar-brined and fermented. I was hoping these might be in the same range as the long-retired Best Maid Xtreme Sour Pickles, which I miss terribly, but they're not even as sour as the regular Best Maid's (which I still love). I also love Warheads. I don't eat much candy anymore, but the Warheads that land in my son's Halloween bag wind up with me. These pickles taste nothing like Warheads, or sour dill, or extreme sour. Instead, they taste intensely of some sort of indistinguishable chemical flavoring agent, probably the worst pickle I've ever tasted. Unfortunately, I got a six-pack of them — I opened the first one and for two days I kept coming back to try it. It was terrible immediately, but I kept trying it and thinking, "There must be something about these that people like." After two days I couldn't finish it. No idea what I'm going to do with the other five. Don't waste your money or taste buds on these.

Wonderful

Why did you pick this product vs others?: I love these bc they taste like the ball park pickles. Unfortunately they came in and one of them was apparently one bc the box smelled like pickles. I’ve been getting pickles like these for years and I’ve never smelled a pickle smell until today. The only time you smell the pickle smell is when you open the individual bags. Plus it had the color of it on top like it was soaked in pickle juice.

Es ist einfach sehr chemisch und garnicht lecker. Es schmeckt sehr eklig. Würde ich nicht empfehlen. Musste kotzen und weiß nicht womit mit den restlichen. Meine Eltern konnten es auch nicht aufessen, sie haben es auch nicht gemocht.

I am an American living and needed an American Dill Pickel this Hit the Spot!!!!

I came back from the US recently and missed these. I slice them up and have them with some fries from Five Guys as a treat, they're perfect together! Worth every penny.

Arrived quickly, great taste will be trying the others in the range.

Really good value for money. The hot and spicy flavour is nicer than the dill or garlic flavours, and has a really good amount of spice.
