Ruchi Olive Pickle is a distinctly Bangladeshi creation that takes the Indian olive (jalpai) and transforms it into something entirely South Asian. Indian olives are pickled in mustard oil with chilli, turmeric, and Bengali spice blends, producing a condiment that is simultaneously briny, sour, and warmly spiced. This olive pickle tastes nothing like Mediterranean olives in brine -- it is its own thing entirely.

Ruchi is a household name in Bangladesh and their olive pickle is one of the more unique offerings in the Bengali pickle range. The firm bite of the jalpai gives this achar a satisfying texture that softer pickle ingredients cannot match. Hills Harvest stocks it as part of our bangladeshi grocery online selection for families who miss the taste of home.

Pair with hot rice and a simple dal for a meal that needs nothing else. Serve alongside fried fish or grilled meat as a tangy counterpoint. Eat a couple of olives straight from the jar as a pungent snack with paratha or roti.

Refrigerate after opening. Always use a clean, dry spoon. Ruchi Olive Pickle and other achar online options available from Hills Harvest -- Bengali grocery delivery across western Sydney.
