🥒🧪 Are Your Pickles Having an Identity Crisis?

Some are fermented.
Some are pickled.
Some are both.
And most people have no idea there’s a difference. 👀

In Topic 10 of The Science of Live Vinegar Series, we’re diving into the deliciously nerdy world of microbes, vinegar, acidity, and the sour science happening inside your jar.

🦠 Fermentation creates acid naturally
🍶 Pickling adds acid directly
🤯 Both preserve food in completely different ways

If you’ve ever wondered:
“Are all pickles fermented?”
“Do pickles contain probiotics?”
“What actually makes food sour?”

…this one’s for you.

🤢🫙 “Uhhh… why does my vinegar look like SNOT?!” 😅

Glad you asked. 😏

That weird blob/stringy thing floating in live vinegar is called:

🌿 THE MOTHER 🌿

And believe it or not…
👉 it’s usually a sign your vinegar is ALIVE and actively fermented. 🧪✨

In our newest Science of Live Vinegar article, we break down:
✔️ what the mother actually is
✔️ why it forms
✔️ how to tell it apart from mold
✔️ and why real fermentation gets a little weird sometimes 😎

Spoiler alert:
If it looks like wet vinegar snot… you’re probably okay 😂

✨ Turning Bland Into Grand ✨

🥒 Marie Antoinette wanted to have her cake and eat it too.

We want our pickles lacto-fermented AND vinegar pickled. 😌

Turns out… you actually CAN have both.

First, we partially lacto-ferment the veggies for that deep savory tang and crunch…

THEN we finish them in our No Cukes Given DIY Pickle Brines for that bold bright pickle punch. 💥

So now the pickles have:
🫧 fermented complexity
💥 vinegar attitude
🥒 refrigerator pickle crunch
😮‍💨 completely unnecessary levels of flavor

Honestly, this is what happens when your cucumbers refuse to settle.

Featuring:
✨ Sweet but Divine
🔥 Sweet but Psycho

Have your pickle and eat it too.

🧅✨ MIGNONETTE IS BACK… BRIEFLY. ✨🧅

While making a brand new batch of our beloved Mignonette Live Vinegar, we discovered something unexpected… we had more of the previous batch than we needed to seed the new one. (Every new batch needs some of the old batch to keep the magic going 😉)

That means — for a limited time and while supplies last — small bottles of Mignonette are back and just in time for spring salads and BBQs!

⚠️ Large bottles are still sold out.
⚠️ Quantities are extremely limited.
⏳ The newest batch currently fermenting won’t be ready for another 3–4 months.

If you’ve been waiting to get your hands on this savory shallot-packed favorite… now’s your chance before it disappears again.

🧅 Small batch.
🍷 Slow crafted.
⏰ Limited release.

Order online at https://www.thetickledpickler.com/product-page/mignonette-vinegar
and if you're local choose self-fullfillment and we will contact you to arrange pick-up/drop-off.

The squash bugs and roly-polys have officially launched their hostile takeover of the garden… but we’re fighting back. 🪲⚔️🌱

First target: the roly-polys. Turns out they absolutely cannot resist beer 🍺. We buried cups into the garden and filled them up — and well… the picture pretty much tells the rest of the story 😅

Next up: squash bugs. Reinforcements have arrived. We placed praying mantis egg cases (yes, those weird cocoon-looking things 😆) throughout the gardens. One in each bed.

Soon those little garden assassins will hatch and hopefully begin their mission of feasting on those pesky squash bugs. 🥬🦗

The bugs may have started this war…

…but we’re bringing in mercenaries. 😈🌿
