To know which Van Holten’s Pickle-In-A-Pouch flavor is the best, you would have to try them all, or at least the ones you think you’ll like the most. This brand was established in 1898 and is a family-owned, Wisconsin-based company that began as a local vinegar distributor. However, it revolutionized pickle snacks in 1939 with the introduction of the Pickle-In-A-Pouch. 

Today, this iconic product enjoys nationwide popularity, selling over 33 million pickles annually, reflecting a 26-year-over-year increase in sales and brand revenue. With 13 unique flavors, ranging from sweet to spicy, Van Holten’s offers something for everyone, including you! Combining convenience, value, and quality, these pickles are also gluten-free, low-calorie, and shelf-stable, making them a ready-to-go snack whenever you’re in the mood. 

As of 2025, we celebrated 10 years as one of the few online retailers that have faithfully carried these pickles throughout the years, which speaks volumes about both this brand and our customers. So, on behalf of Van Holten’s Pickles and our team here at Candy Retailer, we would like to thank you all. We listed all flavors below to help you rediscover a long-time favorite or discover something new, such as Chamoy Mega! 

I’m a huge fan of Van, so I’m usually one of the first few people in the country to try their new pickle flavors when they come out, which doesn’t happen often! To date, I can’t say there’s a flavor that I don’t like, although, like most fans, I have my favorites! However, everyone has different taste buds and opinions, so I’ll leave it up to you to decide which ones are the best.
