Pickle Perfection: How Savithrammas Pickles Bring Meals to Life

A Legacy of Flavor: The Story of Andhra Pickles

Pickling in Andhra Pradesh is not just a culinary technique—it’s a cultural event. Families come together, especially in summer, to prepare large batches of Avakaya (mango pickle) that can last months. Recipes are handed down like family heirlooms. Every ingredient has a reason, every process has a method, and the result is a pickle that speaks the language of tradition.

Savithrammas honors this legacy by staying true to traditional techniques, using handpicked ingredients, and preparing each batch in small, home-style quantities. The result? A line of pickles that balances authentic taste, purity, and spice perfection.
