Top 10 best Heinz Dill Pickles 2022 Passed Our Test

Much better flavor than Kosher dills. These are real old fashioned dill pickles. I would give them five stars except that maybe a third of them have soft mushy sections. The firm sections are good though.

Closest thing to Branston I’ve found.. really good!

Arrived open could not eat the product. Was a waste of money I can’t get a refund on.

NOT DISAPPOINTED! The pickles should not be described as LARGE – Largest in jar is 4 inches – rest are smaller – measured. They are delicious! A matter of clarifying.

Would buy again and again.

These are very good. I love pickles and have been trying new and different brands from Amazon that I can’t find at my local grocer. My favorite ‘typical brand’ I can get locally are Claussen, so that’s kind of my benchmark. Not a huge Vlassic fan, though their ‘Homestyle’ (I think they’re called) are very good.The flavor for these Best Maid’s are extreme. They give you that bite that’s not overly ‘vinegary’, loaded with juice, and give you that ‘thing’ in the back and bottom of your jaw, making your mouth water, for sure. They are really sour (not like a ‘Sour Pickle’ – if that makes sense) and I think that’s attributed to Best Maid using alum in their ingredients. I don’t really know anything about alum except the old Bugs Bunny/Tom & Jerry cartoons where the antagonist would use it on the protagonist and his mouth would shrink – that’s all I knew about what alum is or does. So when my face shrank so tight and small it could’ve been sucked through a straw like the old-timey cartoons, when I looked at the ingredients list and I was immediately like, “Oh yeah… that’s what it is…”I can sit and pretty much just eat an entire jar of pickles if I like them. Sometimes when I get groceries I’ll actually get 2 jars of Claussen, (or my local grocer carries some Garlic dills made by Ba-Tempte, which are fantastic – Try their pickled tomatoes, too!) and I’ll eat half of 1 jar while I’m taking care of the groceries. With that being said, I continued eating quite a few of these Best Maids, and let me tell you, I got really sick to my stomach. I’m attributing that to the alum, can’t say for sure, but I am used to eating a ton of pickles in one sitting, and ‘alum’ is not listed on any of the other pickles’ ingredients lists. Also, I use pickle juice to brine chicken, especially chicken tenders, and after using Best Maid’s pickle juice (from this gallon jar of pickles I purchased), I actually had some stomach and bathroom ‘troubles’ after eating my chicken tenders dinner.They are a very good pickle, but for me I have to eat them in serious moderation. It also would be nice to get them in a smaller amount than gallon. Would be extremely useful if I were a deli or restaurant, but for personal home-consumption, and risking an upset stomach eating too many (for me), it’s a lot… lol. Definitely give them a shot though!

Was delivered cracked and all the juice leaked out on my front porch. Wasn’t able to get a refund either.

I ordered these with a specific flavor expectation as I am a pickle lover and also a lover of Tapatio, Cholula, etc. When I received them, I immediately opened one to eat it. To my surprise, they tasted far different than I would have expected a “Van Horton Tapatio Pickle” to taste. So, that being said, at first it was a bit off-putting. Because I am a pickle lover, I kept eating it, and by the third bite I found myself thinking “this is actually a really interesting and good tasting pickle.” Overall, after finishing it, I wanted another. That’s a sign of a good pickle to me. They smell a bit weird lolHope you enjoy the pickles you purchase!

These are increasingly hard to find. It seems as though Heinz has stopped making them available. I’m not sure why, because there’s nothing better on a burger. If anyone has found a comparable pickle, I’d like to hear about it!
