The pickle, often called new, overnight, or green pickle, most resembles a cucumber in color and taste. It cures for only one day in natural brine consisting of chopped garlic, salt and other mixed spices. The Half Sour is produced fresh year round to keep both color and flavor 365 days a year. A commonly asked question is “what happens to old half sour pickles?” We think the half-sour pickle is like a fine wine, it doesn’t go bad, and it just gets better. With time the half-sour becomes a sour pickle.
