Frequently Asked Questions

Our pickles, when stored properly submerged in mustard oil and kept in a cool, dry place, can last for 1 to 2 years without any loss in taste or quality. Since we use no artificial preservatives, the natural curing process with mustard oil and sun-drying acts as a traditional preservative. Always use a dry spoon when serving.

Always keep the pickles fully submerged under the mustard oil inside the jar. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use a clean, dry spoon every time you serve — moisture is the biggest enemy of homemade pickles. Occasionally expose the jar to mild sunlight to maintain freshness and prevent mold.

Absolutely not. All Acharkuthi pickles are 100% natural and free from artificial preservatives, chemicals, colorings, or additives. Our preservation method relies entirely on traditional Bengali techniques — sun-drying, wood-pressed mustard oil curing, and home-ground spice blends.
