AN INDEPENDENT producer of quail eggs has launched a new pickled product.

West Dorset based Littlewindsor Ltd has launched its first pickled quail egg product, marketing it as perfect for pub snacks, Ploughman's lunches and picnics.

Littlewindsor Ltd is expanding beyond the fresh quail egg market into a range of pickled eggs, made from the highest quality free range quail eggs for which the brand has grown its reputation.

Pickled in a special recipe of vinegar, herbs and spices, the eggs have a sharp but delicate taste which combines well with salty crisps and mature cheese.

Clare Snelling, director of Littlewindsor Ltd, said: “We are seeing tremendous interest in Littlewindsor pickled quail eggs, particularly from independent pubs and bars looking for new and interesting bar snacks.

"The jars are easy to display and serve for customers to enjoy over a pint and with a packet of crisps.”

Littlewindsor Ltd supplies pubs, speciality food shops, farm shops and upmarket butchers across the South West and London with Littlewindsor pickled quail eggs which come in two jar sizes.
