Opies Pickled Walnuts in Malt Vinegar 390g

Opies Pickled Walnuts in Malt Vinegar 390 g

Opies Pickled Walnuts add a tangy, gently sweet and lightly spiced flavour to cheeseboards and everyday cooking. The young walnuts are harvested before their hard shells develop, then preserved in malt vinegar. Their tender, sliceable texture makes this British pickle a distinctive alternative to crunchy nuts.

What do pickled walnuts taste like?

Expect a rich vinegar tang balanced with sweetness and a subtle spiced flavour. Slice a walnut into small pieces when trying it for the first time, then pair it with cheese or add it to a dish. A little brings an interesting contrast to richer foods.

Serving ideas for a cheeseboard

Serve Opies Pickled Walnuts beside mature cheddar, Stilton or Brie. They also work well with cold meats and charcuterie. For an easy snack, add a few slices to cheese on toast. Alternatively, set out a small dish with crackers, bread and your favourite cheeses when friends visit.

Cooking with pickled walnuts

Chop them into a beef casserole or savoury pie, or slice them over a salad. You can also use a little of the pickling liquid in a vinaigrette. Start with a small amount and taste as you go, since the vinegar brings a pronounced tang.

A British pantry gift

This jar makes a useful addition to a savoury hamper or a gift for someone who enjoys cheese and traditional British foods. Pair it with crackers and another pickle for a simple entertaining selection. Its unusual flavour gives curious cooks something new to try.
