Why Our Pickles Take 48 Hours

Every CHOMP kitchen makes its own pickles. Small Cretan cucumbers go into a brine of cider vinegar, dill, garlic, mustard seed and a little sugar.

Why two days?

At 24 hours they taste like cucumber with ambition. At 48 hours they are sour, garlicky and still crunchy. At 72 hours they start to soften, so we never serve them past day three.
