__

Pickles have always been of interest to the general public, especially Iranians, and since ancient times, grandmother’s pickles have been referred to as “the best pickles ever consumed”. As a result, these products have always been present on the table of Iranians. Pickles have a wide range, each of which gives us a pleasant feeling with its good taste. Pickles can be prepared from all fruits, and one of the ways to preserve fruits is to pickle them. In the pickling process, greens and vegetables change very slightly and their nutritional value and properties are preserved. The production unit of Limondis Company, the producer of Mahram pickles and pickles, is located in Shiraz city and produces products of the best vegetables and fruits of high quality.

Since 2012, Mahram company has been producing its pickled and salty products in the factory of Limondis company in Shiraz. Since 2016, the devices have been updated and the production line has been completely mechanized; This means that all stages of production of these products – including baking, mixing, filling, etc. – are completely done with modern machinery.

Mahram’s pickled garlic is offered in two types, white and red. Because its cold climate makes the texture of garlic very firm and its aroma better. Red garlic, or flower garlic, is also prepared from Fars province and Tarem city. This product is produced in vinegar. In the process of producing traditional pickled garlic, some garlic and vinegar and a little salt are mixed together and this mixture is kept for a long time so that its color gradually turns brown and the texture of the garlic becomes a little softer due to long-term contact with vinegar. Because usually in the industry, there is not much time to keep the garlic to turn it into pickles, they heat the garlic to get a softer texture and that’s why the mouth doesn’t smell like garlic.
