Drivers Pickled Onions

A Tangy Delight Straight from the Jar

Driver’s Pickled Onions are a quintessential British delicacy, cherished for their tangy flavor, crunchy texture, and versatility.

These plump, vinegary onions have been a beloved addition to meals, snacks, and gatherings for generations, offering a burst of flavor that perfectly complements a wide range of dishes.

Produced by Driver’s, a company with a long history of pickling expertise dating back to the 19th century, these pickled onions are a testament to the art of preserving vegetables. Each jar is packed with small, firm onions carefully selected for their size and flavor.

The onions are then pickled in a seasoned vinegar brine, infused with a blend of spices and herbs that give them their distinctive taste.

The pickling process is what gives Driver’s Pickled Onions their unique flavor and texture. The onions are first soaked in a brine solution to soften them slightly and remove any bitterness.

They are then transferred to jars and covered in a vinegar mixture, typically flavored with spices such as mustard seeds, peppercorns, and bay leaves. Over time, the onions absorb the tangy vinegar and spices, resulting in a piquant and flavorful treat.

One of the hallmarks of Driver’s Pickled Onions is their crisp texture. Unlike some pickled onions that can be mushy or overly soft, Driver’s onions retain their firmness, providing a satisfying crunch with each bite.

This makes them perfect for snacking straight from the jar or adding to salads, sandwiches, and charcuterie boards.

Driver’s Pickled Onions are incredibly versatile and can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. They are a classic accompaniment to cold meats and cheeses, adding a zesty kick to ploughman’s lunches and cheeseboards.

They can also be chopped and added to salads for an extra burst of flavor, or used to garnish cocktails for a unique twist.

In addition to their culinary versatility, Driver’s Pickled Onions hold a special place in British food culture as a symbol of tradition and nostalgia.

For many Britons, a jar of pickled onions is a familiar sight at family gatherings, pub lunches, and festive celebrations. Their tangy aroma and vibrant flavor evoke memories of shared meals and good times, making them a beloved part of the culinary landscape.

Driver’s Pickled Onions have also found a place in the hearts of food enthusiasts around the world who appreciate their bold flavor and crunchy texture.

While they may be a staple of British cuisine, they have gained popularity in international markets, where they are sought after for their authentic taste and high quality.

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.
