Three Little Pigs Cornichons — 9.06 lbs

Three Little Pigs Cornichons are crisp, tart, pickled baby cucumbers packed in a brine of white wine vinegar, salt, pearl onions, and select spices — and this can is certified Kosher. Cornichons are the small, sour French pickle traditionally served with pâtés, smoked fish, and cured meats, and they are a required accompaniment when serving Raclette. This is the large format: a net weight of 9.06 pounds with a drained weight of 4.7 pounds.

The flavor is sharp, zesty, and barely sweet, with a firm crunch that holds up on a board or in a sauce. That bracing acidity is what makes cornichons so useful — they cut cleanly through rich charcuterie and melted cheese. Chop them into a gribiche or tartar sauce, or set out next to a Raclette wheel and a bowl of boiled potatoes.

Best For

Entertainers, delis, and caterers who need cornichons in volume, plus Raclette and fondue nights, charcuterie boards, and any kitchen that runs through a lot of pickles. The large can makes it practical to keep the classic French board pickle always on hand.

About Three Little Pigs

Three Little Pigs (Les Trois Petits Cochons) has produced French charcuterie in small batches since 1975. The name is French for "the three little pigs." Cornichons round out the company's pâté and mousse lineup as the acidic counterpoint every charcuterie plate needs.

The word cornichon means both the pickle and the tiny cucumber it starts as — picked young on purpose, which is why they stay so small and snappy.

Are these cornichons Kosher?

Yes. This can of Three Little Pigs cornichons is certified Kosher, and the pickles themselves are vegan — cucumbers brined in white wine vinegar, salt, pearl onions, and spices.

How big is this can?

It is a large foodservice-size can with a net weight of 9.06 pounds and a drained weight of 4.7 pounds, which makes it well suited to entertaining, catering, and deli use.

How should I store them after opening?

Refrigerate after opening and keep the cornichons covered by their brine. Stored this way they stay crunchy for several weeks.
