Lemon Chilli

At Old Fashioned Gourmet, we believe in delivering nothing but the best. Our pickles are made using the season's finest vegetables, such as carefully selected mangoes of a specific variety, picked at the perfect stage of ripeness and weight. Each ingredient is handled with care — spices are hand-sorted, hand-pounded, and individually roasted to lock in their natural oils and flavors. We use premium ingredients like Pink Himalayan salt and cold-pressed oil, with every jar fermented naturally in the sun, just as tradition dictates.This artisan process is entirely handmade, requiring time, manual effort, and attention to detail. We don’t compromise on quality, which is why our pickles offer the authentic taste of tradition, made with care and excellence.

Many mass-produced pickles use shortcuts to reduce costs. They rely on low-cost, refined salts and cheaper oils to bulk up the product, often sacrificing quality and taste. Unlike traditional recipes passed down by our grandmothers, they use fewer premium spices and authentic ingredients. This allows them to offer lower prices, but at the expense of flavor, nutrition, and heritage.

At Old Fashioned Gourmet, we refuse to compromise. We use only the finest ingredients and time-honored methods to ensure you get the very best.

Our pickles are naturally fermented, which means they are designed to last for years. Fermentation acts as a natural preservative, allowing the flavors to deepen and improve over time. In fact, the longer they age, the richer and more intense the taste becomes.

While they don't expire quickly, we include a "Best By" date on our jars to adhere to food safety regulations.

Pickles are often seen as a concern for blood pressure because many mass-produced varieties are packed with high sodium levels. To cut costs, large manufacturers use cheap, refined salt in excessive amounts, significantly raising sodium content and potential health risks, especially for those with high blood pressure.

At Old Fashioned Gourmet, we follow a healthier, traditional approach. We use Pink Himalayan salt, which is naturally lower in sodium and rich in beneficial trace minerals. Carefully measured amounts of this salt, just like our grandmothers used, ensure that our pickles stay true to tradition, flavorful, and far more heart-friendly—an ideal choice for maintaining healthier blood pressure levels.

Cold-pressed oil retains the natural nutrients and essential fatty acids that are often lost in heat-processed oils, making it a healthier choice. By avoiding high temperatures, cold-pressed oils preserve antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals that support heart health, reduce inflammation, and improve overall wellness.

Additionally, the natural extraction process ensures a pure, rich flavor that enhances both the taste and health benefits of foods like our pickles.
