Crisp, tart pickles made from tiny gherkin cucumbers, by Clovis in the Champagne region.
The gherkin (“Cornichon” in french) is a fruit similar in form and nutritional value to a cucumber. Gherkins and cucumbers belong to the same species but are different cultivar groups. They are usually picked when 4 to 8 cm in length and pickled in jars or cans (often flavored with herbs, particularly dill) or brine to resemble a pickled cucumber.
The preparation process involves first brining, then blanching, and finally pickling. Clovis Cornichons are produced in the Champagne region of Reims, preserved in tarragon, white pickled onions, seeds and coriander and even feature a special plastic basket to easily reach the rather small (about the size of your baby finger), maybe two-bite little gems.
