Traverse City Pickle Company Pickles

What are fermented pickles?

What can you expect from the pickle that keeps on giving?

What are the ingredients we use?

Our cucumbers undergo a short fermentation period with salt and spices, followed by refrigeration in our commercial kitchen. Most other brands boil cucumbers in vinegar. You can eat their factory-produced pickle up to a year later! We offer fresh flavor and healthy, probiotic qualities in our hand-packed, half-sour, fermented pickles. No cooking, no boiling, no vinegar - just a New York deli-style pickle!

What can you expect from the pickle that keeps on giving?

Our pickles have a shelf life of five months!  Here's a quick pickle progression of what you can expect a jar to taste like:

  • First Generation Pickles (0-4 Weeks) - half-sour with a high-snap factor
  • Second Generation Pickles (4-7 Weeks) - crunchy pickle evolving into full-sour taste, hints of cucumber remaining...
  • Third Generation Pickles (7+ Weeks) - full-sour, salty and fermented flavor, still crunchy...

Frequently Asked Questions

Do the pickles need to be refrigerated?

Yes!

How long do these pickles last?

Our pickles never really go bad - they just continue to slowly ferment.  For 2021, we've lab re-tested and approved a five-month shelf life. (Please see our "Generational Pickle" information above.)

I noticed an air bubble and/or the container made a "pop" when I opened it...Is that normal?

Yes! As part of fermentation, the pickles release carbon dioxide. Feel free to "burp" the jar when needed.

After many weeks, the pickles and brine seem carbonated...Is that normal?

Yes, that would be the carbon dioxide again. Leave the lid off the container for a few minutes and all that gas should dissipate.

I've visited the stores advertised on the website as product carriers, but I can't find the pickles on the shelves....

We deliver once a week to the stores and seem to have caught up with demand, but  popular holidays fluctuate rapidly. The growing pains of a new business seem to be subsiding and we believe we've met the high demands of the area!
