Frequently Asked Questions About Cherry laurel pickle
Is cherry laurel pickle safe to eat?
Yes, cherry laurel pickle can be eaten when it is made from correctly identified cherry laurel fruit, but do not eat the pits. Cherry laurel seeds contain cyanogenic compounds, and fruit from unidentified ornamental plants should not be used.
What does cherry laurel pickle taste like?
Cherry laurel pickle tastes tart, salty, and distinctly fruity rather than like a cucumber pickle. Its flavor can vary with the fruit’s ripeness and the brine, so rinsing or briefly soaking it can soften the saltiness.
How do you eat cherry laurel pickle?
Cherry laurel pickle is commonly served as a salty, tangy side or rinsed and cooked with onion. Remove and discard the pits while eating; in Turkish Black Sea cooking, the cooked version is often called taflan turşusu kavurması.
What is cherry laurel pickle made from?
Cherry laurel pickle is made from the fruit of the cherry laurel plant, also called Prunus laurocerasus. It is not made from bay leaves, and it is different from a cucumber pickle because the preserved ingredient is a tart fruit.
How is cherry laurel pickle traditionally prepared?
Cherry laurel pickle is prepared by cleaning the fruit and preserving it in brine, though household methods differ by region. Keep the fruit submerged during storage, and discard the pits rather than eating them.
Where does cherry laurel pickle come from?
Cherry laurel pickle is associated with Turkey’s Black Sea food traditions, where the fruit is also known as taflan or karayemiş. It is especially familiar in regional home cooking and is sometimes sautéed after pickling.
Can you cook cherry laurel pickle?
Yes, cherry laurel pickle can be cooked, most often after rinsing to reduce its saltiness. A regional Turkish preparation sautés it with onion; taste it before adding any extra salt, and remove the pits.
How should cherry laurel pickle be stored after opening?
Store cherry laurel pickle in a covered container in the refrigerator, keeping the fruit beneath its brine. Use a clean utensil each time, and discard it if you notice mold, an unpleasant odor, or a slimy texture.
Can you make cherry laurel pickle with bay laurel berries?
No, cherry laurel pickle is not made with bay laurel. Cherry laurel is a different plant, and substituting fruit from an unidentified laurel species is unsafe; use only correctly identified cherry laurel fruit prepared for eating.
Why is cherry laurel pickle sometimes soaked before serving?
Cherry laurel pickle is soaked or rinsed to remove some of the salt from its brine before serving or cooking. A brief soak preserves more of its tart flavor; taste a piece before deciding whether it needs more rinsing.

What is Cherry laurel pickle?
Cherry laurel pickle is made from the small, tart fruits known in Turkey as taflan or karayemiş, preserved in brine. It is especially associated with the Black Sea region, where home-made versions are part of the local tradition of preserving seasonal produce.
The fruit keeps a tangy, slightly bitter edge, balanced by the saltiness of the brine. It is usually served in a small amount alongside a meal rather than eaten as a snack on its own. At 32 kcal per 100 g, it is a relatively light, fruit-based pickle. If the brine tastes too strong, briefly rinse a portion before serving; its sharp flavour works well alongside rich or simply cooked dishes.
