Cornichons

Cornichons are small, tangy pickled gherkins with a crisp bite, served with cheese, cold meats, pâté and other rich foods. Their sharp, sour taste cuts through creamy and fatty dishes, which is why they sit on so many cheese boards and charcuterie plates.

What Cornichons Taste and Feel Like

Cornichons are small and slim, so you can eat them whole in one or two bites. They have a firm, crunchy texture and a clean, sour flavour from the pickling liquid. They are tarter and crunchier than the larger sliced gherkins most people put in burgers.

Ways to Use Cornichons

Cornichons work as a side, a snack and an ingredient. Here are some common ways to use them:

  • On a cheese board or charcuterie platter with ham, salami and pâté
  • Chopped finely into tartare sauce, remoulade or gribiche
  • Alongside raclette, boiled potatoes and melted cheese
  • In ham, cheese or roast beef sandwiches
  • Stirred into potato salad, egg salad or tuna mayonnaise
  • Next to burgers, sausages or a ploughman's lunch

Tips for Serving Cornichons

Drain cornichons well before you use them. For sauces, pat them dry and chop them very small so the pieces spread evenly. For a board, leave them whole so they keep their crunch. Slice them lengthways if you want a neat layer in a sandwich.

Cornichons or Gherkins: What Is the Difference?

Cornichons are a small, tart style of gherkin that is picked young and pickled whole. Larger gherkins are usually softer and milder, and they are often sliced. If a recipe asks for cornichons, such as a French-style sauce, the small crunchy kind gives the right bite.

Cornichons FAQ

Are cornichons the same as gherkins?

Cornichons are a type of gherkin, but they are smaller and tangier. They are usually eaten whole or chopped finely, rather than sliced.

Can I chop cornichons for tartare sauce?

Yes, chopping cornichons is the usual way to make tartare sauce. Drain them, pat them dry and chop them finely before mixing them into mayonnaise with capers and herbs.

What do you eat cornichons with?

Cornichons go well with cheese, cold meats, pâté and potatoes. Their sourness balances rich, salty or creamy food.

Add a jar of cornichons to your basket for your next cheese board, sandwich or homemade tartare sauce.

Disclaimer

We take great care when preparing and securely packing every order; however, during transportation, parcels may be handled by several parties, including the courier, and despite our best efforts, minor cosmetic damage such as dents, marks, scuffs or damage to external packaging may occasionally occur. Minor cosmetic damage that does not affect the product’s safety, quality or intended use will not normally be considered a product defect. This is particularly applicable to products supplied in cans, tins, plastic containers, boxes or similar packaging. If you receive a product that is broken, leaking, materially damaged, unsafe, unusable or otherwise not as described, please contact us within 24 Hours of delivery by email or telephone and provide your order number, details of the issue and clear photographs of the damaged product and packaging. We may require further information or evidence to investigate the matter and, where necessary, may take up to 14 days to complete our investigation. Where damage appears to have occurred during delivery, we may need to raise a claim with the courier, and you may be required to complete and return any Damage on Receipt (DOR) form or other documentation requested by the courier before the claim can be processed. Some products we sell are price-marked or display a manufacturer’s recommended or printed retail price. Please note that our online selling prices may differ from the price printed on the product because online orders involve additional costs such as picking, packing, packaging materials, warehouse handling, payment processing, website administration and delivery-related costs. You may therefore receive a product displaying a printed or recommended retail price that is lower than the price you paid online. The price you agree to pay is the online selling price displayed on our website at the time you place your order, and the presence of a lower printed or recommended retail price on the packaging does not, by itself, mean that the online purchase price was incorrect. Product images displayed on our website are for illustration and presentation purposes only. Actual product packaging, branding, design, colour, size, shape or appearance may vary depending on availability, manufacturer, batch or packaging updates. Such variations do not necessarily indicate that the product supplied is different from the product ordered, provided that the product itself corresponds to the description and specifications stated on the website. We ask customers to check their order and products as soon as reasonably possible after delivery and contact us promptly if there is any material damage, fault, incorrect item or issue with the goods.
