Vlasic: The Giant Gherkin with Legendary Crunchyness

If you're looking for the small, pickled gherkin you eat with raclette, you're in the wrong place. This is America, and at Vlasic , they think big (and green).

Vlasic is the number one pickle brand in the United States, instantly recognizable thanks to its mascot: the bespectacled stork. But why are Americans so crazy about them? For the "CRUNCH." Vlasic has one obsession: crunch. They've developed a unique recipe and jarring process that guarantees that when you bite into them, they make a popping sound. They're fresh, they're juicy, and they're bursting with flavor.

Forget everything you know about pickles

To choose the right Vlasic jar on Pop's America , you need to understand the difference with France:

The "Dill" Flavor: The classic American recipe is "Kosher Dill." It's not as strong in vinegar as ours. It's a brine made with dill and garlic. It's much more aromatic and less acidic.
Size: A Vlasic pickle is big. Sometimes very big. It's often eaten as a snack, straight from the jar.
The "Sweet" Taste: Be careful, some varieties like "Bread & Butter" are sweet and salty!

Spears, Stackers, or Wholes? The Shapes Guide

At Vlasic, the shape of the pickle changes the experience. Find the classics in our section:

Kosher Dill Spears (Lances): This is the most iconic format. The large pickle is cut lengthwise into quarters. It's the obligatory accompaniment to a pastrami sandwich or a hot dog in New York.
Ovals / Stackers (Flat Slices): Wide, flat slices cut lengthwise. They are specially designed to cover the entire surface of your steak in a burger . No more round pickles falling off at the first bite!
Whole (Integers): For purists who want to bite into it with gusto.
Bread & Butter (Sweet & Savory): A special, milder recipe with notes of onion and spice. Delicious in a chicken sandwich or as an appetizer.

The secret ingredient of the perfect burger

Do you ever wonder why your homemade burgers never taste the same as those from American fast-food chains like Five Guys or Shake Shack? The answer is often the pickle. Vlasic Kosher Dill adds that fresh, garlicky, and crunchy touch that cuts through the richness of the meat and cheese. Try it once, and you'll never go back to classic pickle slices.

FAQ - Green Minute

What does "Kosher" mean on the jar?

In the world of pickles, "Kosher" doesn't just refer to religion. It has become the name of a style of recipe: a brine rich in garlic and salt , typical of early 20th-century New York Jewish charcuteries.

Does it keep for a long time?

Like all vinegar/brine products, it keeps for a very long time. Once opened, put the jar in the refrigerator to keep them nice and crunchy.

How do you eat "Spears"?

In the USA , they are served "on the side" (on the side of the plate) with a sandwich, a burger, or chicken wings. They are the crunchy "vegetable" that refreshes the palate between bites.
