Pickled Cucumbers (Gherkins) – Crisp Texture, Natural Flavor & Consistent Quality

Product Overview

Pickled Cucumbers (Gherkins) are one of the most widely enjoyed pickled products worldwide, appreciated for their crisp texture, refreshing acidity, and balanced sweetness. Made from young, firm cucumbers preserved in natural brine or vinegar solutions, they deliver a clean, tangy flavor and satisfying crunch. Ideal as both a standalone snack and a culinary ingredient, gherkins are used across foodservice, retail, and industrial applications.

At Tuna Sourcing, we supply ISO 22000-certified Pickled Cucumbers, sourced from contracted farms in the Aegean and Marmara regions of Turkey. Our gherkins are sorted by size, cleaned, and fermented or acidified using natural salt and vinegar blends — ensuring consistent color, texture, and taste. Available in a wide range of grades and packaging formats, our gherkins meet the strictest international standards for quality, safety, and shelf stability.
