A Rustic Blend of Flavors

In the world of condiments, Driver’s Farmhouse Pickle stands out as a rustic and robust addition to any meal. With its hearty chunks of vegetables, tangy vinegar base, and hint of sweetness, this classic pickle has been a staple on British tables for generations, adding depth and character to sandwiches, ploughman’s lunches, and more.

Dating back to the 19th century, Driver’s Farmhouse Pickle has its roots in the English countryside, where traditional pickling methods were used to preserve the harvest for the winter months.

Named for its rustic farmhouse origins, this pickle is a celebration of simple, honest ingredients and time-honored recipes.

At the heart of Driver’s Farmhouse Pickle is a medley of crunchy vegetables, including cauliflower, onions, carrots, and gherkins, all finely diced and bathed in a tangy vinegar brine.

Unlike some other pickles that are finely chopped or pureed, Driver’s boasts generous chunks of vegetables, giving it a hearty texture that pairs perfectly with crusty bread and sharp cheeses.

The flavor profile of Driver’s Farmhouse Pickle is a harmonious blend of sweet, sour, and savory notes. The vegetables are pickled in a mixture of malt vinegar, sugar, and spices, including mustard seeds, turmeric, and coriander, which impart a depth and complexity to the relish.

This combination of flavors creates a pickle that is both tangy and slightly sweet, with a subtle hint of warmth from the spices.

One of the hallmarks of Driver’s Farmhouse Pickle is its versatility. While it is traditionally served as a condiment for cheese and cold meats, it can also be used to add flavor to a variety of dishes.

Spread it on sandwiches, burgers, or wraps for a burst of flavor, mix it into potato salads or pasta dishes for added zing, or serve it alongside grilled meats and sausages for a taste of the countryside.

What sets Driver’s Farmhouse Pickle apart from other relishes is its commitment to quality and tradition. Made using only the finest ingredients and time-tested methods, it is a true taste of rural Britain, evoking images of rolling green fields, quaint farmhouses, and bountiful harvests.

About Drivers:

The Driver family can trace its roots back to the mid 19th century when they first started serving the local community with a grocery shop in the market town of Ibstock, then later in City of Leicester.

The family started producing pickles to sell in its shops around 1902, the demand was such that in 1906 Driver’s Pickle and Vinegar Company was established by Frederick Charles Driver.

Its main business centred around Pickled Onions and Malt Vinegar selling to local fishmongers and to other grocery shops in and around Leicester.

More than 100 years on, the company today is owned by the fourth generation of Driver’s and we take pride in that the products today are still made in the same tradition as in Fredericks era.
