The legacy began in 1898 when Dutch immigrant J.G. Van Holten's dream of owning his own business became a reality. Van Holten's started as a vinegar distributor in Milwaukee, WI and soon sauerkraut and pickles were added to the product line. In I939, Van Holten's developed the original Pickle-In-A-Pouch. This product concept of individually wrapped pickles was way ahead of its time and is now the cornerstone of Van Holten's business. We have focused on what we do best, the Pickle-In-A-Pouch, which is why we are the world's number one producer of individually wrapped pickles. Van Holten's continues to evolve using the same formula of quality, service, innovation, and passion that has made the company successful for well over 100 years. The pickle in the pouch is a great mess free and easy snack or a side dish. Enjoy! Van Holten's proudly supports the Boys and Girls Club of America.
