Badia Pickling Spice Mix 13 oz — Extra Fancy blend in resealable bottle, all-natural aromatic seasoning

Badia Extra Fancy Pickling Spice Mix is a carefully balanced blend of whole and broken spices designed to add bright, savory flavor to pickles, brines, marinades, and cooked dishes.

Bring restaurant-quality pickling flavor into your home kitchen with this 13 oz bottle from Badia, a family-owned spice maker since 1967. The mix pairs seeds, peels, and aromatic whole spices to create layered flavor without the need to measure multiple ingredients. Packaged in a resealable plastic bottle, it’s convenient for occasional batches of refrigerator pickles or for scaling up to larger canning projects.

What does this pickling spice mix taste like and which spices are included?

The blend balances pungent, sweet, bitter, and warm spice notes so your brine develops complexity as it steeps. Because the mix uses both whole and broken pieces, it releases flavor steadily over time without turning muddy.

• Notes of mustard seed, coriander, and allspice for warm, aromatic depth
• Cracked pepper and bay leaf fragments for savory backbone
• Whole seeds and peel pieces that infuse clearly in vinegars and stocks
• All-natural components for clean, pantry-friendly flavor

How should I use the Badia Pickling Spice in my pickles and brines?

Use a tablespoon or two per quart of pickling liquid as a starting point and adjust to taste. You can add the spices directly to the brine, place them in a spice bag, or tie them in cheesecloth for easy removal later.

• Refrigerator pickles: 1–2 tbsp per quart of brine for 24–48 hours
• Quick brines and marinades: steep 10–30 minutes for bright flavor
• Canning: distribute evenly in jars or use a spice sachet to prevent clumping
• Soups and stews: add early for slow-release aromatic notes

Can I use this spice mix beyond pickling?

Yes—its versatile profile works well wherever you want layered savory and aromatic qualities. The mixture enriches broths, roast vegetables, braises, and marinades, adding complexity without extra measuring.

• Stir into stocks and broths for added aroma
• Add to poultry or pork brines for deeper savory notes
• Use during long simmers in stews or braises for subtle spice
• Toast briefly to release oils and use as a finishing aroma

How do I store the Badia pickling spice to keep it freshest?

Keep the resealable bottle in a cool, dry, dark spot away from the stove or direct sunlight. Proper storage preserves volatile oils so your batches stay potent week after week.

• Reseal tightly after each use to limit air exposure
• Store in a pantry or cabinet away from heat sources
• Use within 12–18 months for best aroma and potency
• For long-term freshness, consider transferring to an airtight jar

Who is this for? Home cooks, small-batch canners, and professional kitchens that want a reliable, ready-made pickling spice to simplify brines and boost flavor will find this Badia blend useful. It’s ideal for people who prefer an all-in-one solution to achieve consistent, layered aromatics without sourcing individual spices. If you pickle often or experiment with marinades and soups, the 13 oz bottle provides enough mix for multiple projects while the resealable packaging keeps the blend accessible and easy to store.
