FAQ

How many pickles come in each size container?

 It always depends on the size of the cucumbers, but here’s a helpful guide:

  • Quart – approximately 10 pickles
  • Half gallon – approximately 20 pickles
  • Gallon – approximately 40 pickles
What is the shelf life of your products?
  • Pickles generally last 6–8 weeks. Because they’re naturally fermented, they’ll continue aging over time. Note: Half Sour Pickles will “turn” within 5–7 days, becoming more sour and darker in color.
  • Olives in oil can last up to 3 months; olives in brine will last 6–8 weeks.
  • Relish has a shelf life of up to 3 months.
  • Most pickled condiments will last about 6–8 weeks.
  • Peppadews, Sweet Red Peppers, and Roasted Garlic will last approximately 4 weeks.
What’s the difference between Garlic Pickles and Full Sour Pickles?

Our Garlic Pickles are also known as Full Sours or “Deli Style.” They’re tangy, garlicky, and full of flavor, with a slightly softer texture due to brining for over 3 months.

What does a Half Sour pickle taste like?

Half Sours are crisp and fresh—like a cucumber with a light saltiness. At farmers markets, they’re often called “New Pickles.” As they ferment during transit, they may appear less green, but they’re still safe and delicious to eat.

Note: We do not offer refunds for naturally “turned” Half Sours, as this is part of their fermentation process.

Do your products contain nuts?

While most products are nut-free, we do carry Almond-Stuffed Olives. As a result, there may be trace amounts of nuts in our facility.

Are any of your pickles made with sugar?

Our Sweet Pickle Chips, Sweet Chili Chips, and Sweet Horseradish Chips do not contain sugar, but they are made with a sweetener.

Are any of your pickles made without vinegar?

Yes! Our Half Sours and Full Sours are made through natural fermentation and do not contain vinegar.

Is your sauerkraut raw?

Yes, it is! Our sauerkraut is raw and made using traditional fermentation methods.

Do your products need to be refrigerated?

Yes. To preserve freshness, crunch, and flavor, all Pickle Joy products should be kept refrigerated.

My pickles are in a cloudy brine—is that safe?

Absolutely! Cloudiness is natural and happens over time due to the fermentation process. Half Sours typically have a clearer brine, while Full Sours may appear darker and more opaque.

Where do you ship?
