A Heritage of Quality
Coquet, a family-owned company in La Ribera del Ebro, Spain, has been a pioneer in producing high-quality marinated vegetables since the early 1970s. This region, known for its fertile lands, provides the ideal environment for cultivating the freshest cucumbers destined to become their renowned gherkins. Coquet’s dedication to quality ingredients and meticulous preservation methods places their gherkins among the finest in gourmet circles.
The Art of Pickling
What Are Gherkins? A gherkin is a small cucumber picked early in its growth phase, ensuring it remains less than 5 cm in length. This early harvest captures unique, crisp textures that are characteristic of Coquet’s pickled delights. The process begins with a careful brining to lock in crunchiness, followed by immersion in vinegar, which imparts both acidity and a complex flavor profile.
Taste and Texture
The visual appeal of Coquet’s Small Pickled Gherkins lies in their uniform size and bright green hue. First captured through delicate handling, the product maintains its bite—a critical feature that makes them a cherished snack or a refined ingredient. Expect a sharp vinegar-driven zing with mild vegetal undertones—a testament to their expertly balanced pickling process.
Ingredients & Composition
Crafted with top-tier cucumbers, water, vinegar, and salt, Coquet ensures a natural pickling process devoid of unnecessary additives—a preference among gourmet food aficionados. While some producers might add mustard seeds or dill, Coquet’s minimalist approach keeps the natural flavors at the forefront, allowing the gherkins’ intrinsic qualities to shine.
