Claussen Kosher Dill Spears are ready to eat right out of the jar. They are excellent served alongside deli sandwiches, burgers, or hot dogs, providing a refreshing contrast to richer flavors.

Their firm texture holds up well when diced, making them a great addition to any dish where a bright, briny flavor is desired. They also make a simple and satisfying snack on their own.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike many shelf-stable pickles, Claussen pickles are kept refrigerated from the farm to your table. This process helps them retain a superior crunch and a fresher, more vibrant dill flavor. The refrigeration also allows for a quicker brining process, contributing to their distinctively crisp texture and bright taste.

How to keep the rest
