Santa Barbara, January 4, 2018—With the season to feast in full swing, Pacific Pickle Works is proud to add a dozen products from its collection of savory cocktail mixers and “West Coast” pickles to the kosher table. The company’s award-winning trio of mixers and nine varieties of bold & spicy pickled vegetables have received kosher certification under the EarthKosher seal. Under the guidance of global Kosher authority, Rabbi Zushe Yosef Blech, companies who earn the EarthKosher seal commit to upholding the highest industry standards for kosher manufacturing.
The following products, bearing new labels with the EarthKosher seal, roll out to stores January 2018: Bloody Mary Elixir, Bread and Buddhas, Carriots of Fire, Cauli-Flower Power, Cukarambas, Fenn Shui, Jalabeaños, Michelada Shrub, Mother’s Puckers, Pickle Brine, Stokra and Unbeetables. Each batch of Pacific Pickle Works’ playfully named pickles features peak-season produce, hand-packed within 24 hours of delivery. The company’s one-step mixers include Bloody Mary Elixir, a brunch-ready blend of robust spices and aromatics anchored by the rich umami punch of house-made Worcestershire sauce.
With expansion of the brand’s wholesale distribution and online sales, company founder, Bradley Bennett, noted an uptick in kosher inquiries from customers seeking clean-label alternatives to center-store staples. “The wellness of our customers is paramount,” says Bennett. “When we looked into the history and significance of Kosher, it fit naturally with our commitment to wellness. Rabbis Goldman [EarthKosher CEO] and Blech made the entire process clear and affordable for a growing business.” The company’s all-occasion pickled vegetables are also Non-GMO Project Verified, naturally gluten free and contain zero artificial ingredients or refined sugars.
Pickle Works was founded in 2010 by Bradley Bennett, a Santa Barbara native whose spicy homemade pickles began as holiday gifts for friends and family, and quickly sparked a craving amongst locals. Today, the company’s Union St. factory hand-packs its signature West Coast pickles all year ‘round, each batch a refreshingly crunchy, full-flavored salute to peak-season produce that lifts the pickle from sidekick to standalone snack. Pacific Pickle Works’ full line of pickled vegetables is non GMO, naturally gluten free and kosher; offering shelf-stable convenience with zero artificial ingredients. In 2016, the company launched an all-natural trio of one-step savory cocktail mixers that pair perfectly with a pickle garnish. Pacific Pickle Works is currently carried in 500+ retail and foodservice locations, including Whole Foods Market, Sprouts Farmer’s Market, and Lazy Acres. With playful branding and bold flavor profiles, the company looks forward to delighting customers around the world as they gather together around the table.
