Spreewald Gherkins are a specialty food from the Brandenburg region of Spreewald, located about 60 miles Southeast of Berlin.

These slightly spicy gherkins are made hot with cherry pepper ("Kirschpaprika") and pickled right after the harvest.  They have a distinctly crunchy bite and light tart flavor. The Spreewaldgurke (gherkin) is protected by European regional indication law which means this gherkins cannot be produced anywhere else.
