These new Mrs Elswood products are crafted with taste, texture and quality in mind to provide consumers with the perfect pickle product to snack on this season. The products include the Chornichons mini pickled cucumbers alongside the Cornichons & Onions, which each come in 215-gram jars priced at £1.65 each. The products will make their way to retailers including Sainsbury's and online from Ocado starting in July for shoppers to pick up as the perfect addition to hors d'oeuvres offerings when guests pop by.
Senior Innovation Manager Jonathan Hehir spoke on the new Mrs Elswood products saying, "As the latest addition to the Mrs Elswood family, the Cornichons continue the heritage of the brand’s distinctive flavours but also offer consumers a new and modern taste sensation. Whilst typically associated with charcuterie plates and cheeseboards, Cornichons are a popular stand-alone snack and also add a welcome tang to many types of sandwiches, wraps, grilled foods, burgers and salads."
