Baxters Sliced Tangy Gherkins

“Glossy, generous, well-prepared gherkins with an enticing, fresh & clean aroma. There is a good crunch from a firm texture releasing excellent taste. Well balanced sweet and sour notes contribute towards a delicious gherkin which shows great finesse in production.”

Baxters Whole Tangy Gherkins
“Hearty gherkins with a fabulous crunch. These plump gherkins are fragrant with sweet dill, mustard seed and subtle spice. The brine is well balanced, sweet and sharp.”

Baxters Caramelised Onion Chutney
“Lovely aroma of the caramelisation of the onions and the balsamic vinegar. The onions have a reasonable bite and the sweet and savoury notes balance well. This chutney has a beautiful colour.”

Garner’s Sweet Baby Onions
“These small and rather perfectly formed onions have a punchy flavour and a good crunch. The taste is bright and clean, refreshing and versatile. We found the level of sweetness well-judged, and the vinegar is balanced. This is an example of a pickled onion that has been prepared with care.
