Grillo Pickles...dill spears...Think

MADE IN NEEDHAM, MASS. ?

I recently bought a big bucket of these refrigerated pickles at B.J.'s wholesale club and man are they ever good!!!

Very spicy & flavorful...
7 ingredients: cucumbers, fresh dill, grape leaves, garlic, sea salt, white vinegar and purified water...

If anybody here likes dill pickles you should try these. I think they are better
Than Clausen Dill pickles, but they really are aromatic, very sour and tons of garlic.

I like their spicy ones best.
Spears better than whole.

Yum.

yup, know them for a few years now. I thought they were out of Somerville MA but I suppose they could have relocated to a larger facility without running it by me first.
Needham is closer to my home and work, not that it matters. I don't eat alot of pickles...it's a sodium thang, but theirs are great.

Yes ^^^ they are!! Once I start eating them, I keep going.

I'm on my second "52 oz. TUB" OF the "fresh dill spears"...

They have a $1.00 coupon till 1-16 or 1-31???at the front of the store on that flyer rack.

One warning about GRILLO PICKLES....

IF YOU HAVE HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE...

DONT GO ON A GRILLO BINGE and then take two big sips of the pickle brine mixture....

The SALT will spike your pressure numbers...and give you pins and needles + a headache.
