Production Process

Pickling Process

Katori’s Production unit follows strict guidelines for cleanliness and hygiene. We use sterile, non-reactive jars and dry ladles, and fruits are dried in wide-open spaces with ample space between containers. Here’s how our pickles are made:

Step 1: Fruits are harvested in summer months, carefully handpicked, washed, and cut

Step 2: The cut fruit is coated in salt and turmeric to remove excess moisture and then left to cure in the sun

Step 3: A special blend of hand-pounded spices is prepared, roasted, and added to cold-pressed virgin mustard oil.

Step 4: The fruit/vegetable is added to the spiced oil and left foraging

Step 5: Pickles are mixed at least once daily and barrels are kept in the sun to increase the shelf life

• Consume within 12 months after opening
• Use glass jars for storage.
• Keep in a cool dry place, and avoid contact with water
