Roland Foods Premium Quality Small Cornichons, Specialty Imported Food, 4.1-Liter Can

These are the real deal if your into cornichon, price and quantity can't be beat, but the packaging is terrible. I have yet to receive an order where the cans are not dented, These cornichon are delicious.

So, first off, I did not taste these pickles. I got them for my kid who eats pickles like they are going extinct lol. Pickles are surprisingly not cheap when you buy them by the little jars so I turned to Amazon to see what they had. Found this wonderful gem and gave it a shot. Sadly the can was fairly dented from transport so I decided not to risk it. As such, I was promptly given a refund. That said, I am still happy with the purchase and I'm sure they would have been delicious. I will definitely try again this summer if my kid is still as pickle crazy. In the mean time, this can has made a fabulous door stop, so I really am happy. Looking forward to trying again soon.

I’m a French chef. These cornichons are delicious and pickles, properly stored, don’t go bad. You can spend $7-8 for a tiny jar, or $18 for a supply that will last a *very* long time, and I love serving French cheese plates.Very highly recommended.

I want a refund for this product as it defective. This is the second can of these cornichons that taste 'off'. I replaced my first order because the taste was not right, which I contributed to the dented can. The second delivery the can was also dented, and these don't taste right. I don't believe that the cans are getting dented in delivery, but rather, Amazon is receiving defective or damaged merchandise from whoever they get this product from. Roland makes an excellent product, and these aren't the normal tasting cornichons.

Ok, the first thing to note is that this is a HUGE can. I know there's an illustration of a person holding it on a shadow torso but that doesn't do it justice. You're going to need several containers to store these in your fridge. As for the flavor, I have a bit of an obsession with the Deutsche Küche Cornichons from Aldi and since it's a specialty item you can't always find I decided to get this. The first major difference is the lack of sweetness and the strong vinegar flavor. These have 0 sugar while the Aldi ones have 2g per ounce. These are not bad but you can't pop a handful as a quick snack as the vinegar is over powering. I find they pair well with cured meats, hard cheeses and if you want to give a Bloody Mary some kick add a few of these guys. In any case I'm set for cornichons for about a year.

The BEST product you can buy on Amazon if you want to elevate everything else you are eating. You will use this with salads, sandwiches, khoresh, casseroles, next to your Ghormeh-Sabzi, with your Ab-Goosht and any meal you ever have.

I received the huge can of cornichons today and immediately set about storing it in jars. I had 2 concerns when ordering, both of which weren't warranted.First I was worried about the cornichon to brine ratio since it's in a can and you can't tell until opening. Not a worry, the can was packed. For reference those are 2 1/2 gallon jars and 1 pint jar, all packed fully and even pressed down a bit before adding the brine.Second I was worried about the size of the pickles as it stated cornichons and gherkins, and often gherkins in the store are 'baby dills' which are larger than cornichons. This was also not a worry. They are definitely tiny cornichons.Someone mentioned that there aren't many pearl onions in there and that is correct. There were probably a dozen or so in the whole can, and all were in the bottom half. This could be fixed by reserving some brine (or using fresh) and quick pickling some frozen pearl onions to add in.Pros:I have a whole lot of pickles! The can was packed!They are the really small cornichons.Cons:The can was slightly dented when it arrived, but not a lot and there was no bulgingThe brine is a bit cloudy and there is a slightly metallic taste, which could be from the dented can or could just be from being in a can in general. It can be remedied by making fresh brine to soak them in for a few days, which to me spells opportunity. Change out the type of vinegar, the seasoning, whatever you want. Champagne vinegar brine with Penzey's Sunny Paris seasoning? Yes, please. White Balsamic with one of the Knorr Salat Krönung herb blends for marinade and salad dressing? Yes, yes, yes! Sherry vinegar and fresh herbs from the garden? Oh heck yes!!!

They were all in tact and firm, but the smell of them is awful. I'm guessing from the preservative (?)
