Sylt at Rackhams

Sylt was founded in 2021 by friends and former colleagues Ash Ringhus and Temi Olugbenga, who set out to fix a simple frustration: pickling at home took forever, mostly because of the time spent boiling and cooling a vinegar solution. The only shortcut was buying ready-pickled produce, but that meant settling for a narrow range of flavours. Our answer was ready-made pickling liquids, cutting out the most tedious step while leaving you free to pickle anything you like.

Our mission is to pickle ourselves silly, and help you do the same, through three commitments: to educate people venturing into the world of vinegar-based preservation, to entice them into pickling at home by removing its most tedious (and smelliest) hurdle, and to experiment with flavours that bring new life to any cuisine.

We’re working towards a world of pickle enthusiasts, where pickling is easier and more exciting than ever, and where less food goes to waste.
