Jar of Calef's Pickles

Pickled flavored items have been popping up all over stores. You may think you have tried them all but we are here to say we have tried many more and brought only the best to Calef’s. As pickles surge in popularity, we continue to search for and stock some of the best pickle products around!

Pickles by the Jar

Calef’s has always been known for our sour and dill pickles. Calef’s Pickles are almost as famous as our “Snappy Old Cheese” and the pickle barrel is an iconic part of the store. Calef’s sour and dill pickles can even be ordered online! The 12 Pickles in a Bucket is our personal pickle barrel, containing a dozen of our famous pickles. We ship out a lot of these buckets. These buckets are fun to send and receive. Grab a bucket for your next BBQ or outdoor summer event.

Looking for a different kind of pickle? Maine Homestead Pickles, made in Lyman, Maine has some great options! Maine Homestead started as a way to use up the extra cucumbers from the garden. With way too many pickles to eat, Maine Homestead started expanding their recipes and taking their homemade pickles to local markets. A humble start for these wonderful products. Maine Homestead pickles are now a staple for many local households. Try Maine Homestead Bread & Butter Pickles for a traditional style crunchy sweet pickle or Maine Homestead Sweet and Spicy Pickles for eat out of the jar pickles.

Homemade Pickles

Making pickles at home may sound intimidating but it can be fun and easy! White Mountain Pickle Kits of New Hampshire are a pre-measured, quick alternative to home canning. All you need to do is add vinegar, water, cucumbers then shake it all up and refrigerate for 3 days. And, there you have it, fresh made pickles! So whether you have a surplus of pickling cucumbers or are looking for a fun food experiment give the Country Store Pickling Bags a try!

Pickle Inspired Goodies

Looking for unique pickle products? Calef’s is stocked online and at the store with unique pickled items. From pickled carrots, beets, and other veggies to Pickled Eggs to Quail Eggs. These pickled items are made in New England with classic regional flavors. If you want to stick with classic pickle tastes grab some pickle juice. Or pickle flavored items.

New to the store, we have pickle lollipops and freezer pops. Freezer pops use the same brine as pickles, so not only are these a refreshing treat but can be used as an athletic supplement to help rehydrate and prevent cramps. The same benefits as drinking pickle juice.

And, for our adult crowd, pickle beer is a must try! You will be awarded for being adventurous. Pickle beer has an unmistakable flavor profile. We have found a pickle beer with the perfect briny balance, fresh herbs, and a unique coriander twist.

Shop pickled items online or at the store for some of the best locally made pickled items.
