FAQs

How spicy is this achar?

Unopened jars stay fresh for 6 months. Once opened, we recommend consuming within 2 months for optimal flavor and quality when stored properly in refrigeration.

Absolutely! The oil carries all the wonderful flavors and makes excellent salad dressing or cooking oil. Don't let any of this precious liquid go to waste.

Is this suitable for children?  

The flavor profile is sophisticated, but many children enjoy the tangy taste. Start with small pieces to see if they like it, keeping in mind the mild spice level.

Why choose olive achar over traditional ones? 

It offers a unique flavor experience while providing all the digestive benefits of traditional achar. The Mediterranean twist makes it particularly versatile in modern cooking.
