A Passion for Quality, Rooted in Tradition
The story of Two Pickled Ukes began in the heart of Kelowna, BC, where brothers Gary and John Tymofichuk grew up surrounded by the rich flavours of their Ukrainian heritage. With over 50 years of experience in the grocery business, the brothers shared a deep love for quality meats and the age-old tradition of pickling. This passion, combined with their desire to honour their roots, sparked an idea: to bring the bold, tangy taste of pickled sausage to a new generation of food lovers. With the support of their families, Gary and John embarked on a journey to perfect their recipe, preserving the authentic flavours that had been passed down through generations.
Five Years of Dedication and Experimentation
Creating the perfect pickled sausage was no easy task. For five years, Gary, John, and their wives experimented with different recipes, brining methods, and cuts of meat, determined to achieve the ideal balance of flavour and preservation. Many a mason jar later, they finally perfected their signature blend—one that captured the essence of Ukrainian pickling while appealing to contemporary palates. This dedication to quality and authenticity became the cornerstone of Two Pickled Ukes, a brand that reflects the brothers' commitment to excellence and their love for traditional, handcrafted foods.
