About Us

---

Pikliz (pronounced “peak-leez”) is a spicy blend of quick-pickled or fermented cabbage and other vegetables used in Haitian kitchens to cut through the richness of heavier foods. It is typically paired with fried plantains and fried meats. 

Our handcrafted, quick-pickled blend is refined through the culinary expertise of Ioan Delice, co-founder of Pikliz Please. Unlike traditional pikliz, our recipe includes purple cabbage, red onions and shallots, fresh lime juice, and a proprietary spice blend developed for peak flavor. 

 Top it, mix it, or marinate it! Add it to eggs, rice bowls, tacos, sandwiches, or grilled fish/meats. You can also use the brine to spice up salad dressings, marinades, or cocktails. Enjoy endless ways to peak flavor! 

Pikliz Please is naturally gut-friendly, made with a vinegar base and fiber-rich vegetables commonly enjoyed as part of a balanced diet.

 Yes! Pikliz Please is naturally gluten-free. It’s also vegan, preservative-free, dairy-free, and made with clean, simple ingredients — including locally sourced New York cabbage! 

Unopened jars last up to 3 months when stored in a cool, dark, dry place. Once opened, keep refrigerated and enjoy within 12 months for peak flavor and crunch. We don't expect a jar to last that long. 

Pikliz Please delivers a flavorful kick, not burn-your-mouth hot. Delice applied his experience from Michelin-starred kitchens and fine-dining restaurants, where balancing flavor is both an art and a science. Scotch bonnet peppers provide that signature Caribbean heat, while white distilled vinegar and lime juice add acidity that helps neutralize some of the peppers’ capsaicin. The result is a tangy, refreshing condiment that peaks flavor and plays well with others. 

In some jars, you may notice certain vegetables appear slightly grey or muted in color. This can happen when pieces are not fully submerged in the brine and are exposed to air, causing natural oxidation. This color change is harmless and does not affect the safety, flavor, or quality of the product. Simply give the jar a gentle stir or shake to re-submerge the vegetables before enjoying.
