Whole pickles. Fermented pickles are made by fermentation using lactic acid fermentation. The delicious taste of Euro-East pickles is created without vinegar and sugar. Euro-East Gherkins are pasteurized, allowing for a brief heat treatment that enables preservation without the need for preservatives. Use pickles on their own at the dinner table or add them to dishes such as stroganoff, elderberry soup or Olivier salad. Rassolnik, or pickle soup, also gets its flavor from pickles. Tip: also save the broth from the pickles and use it, for example, to flavor soups or sauces.
