Longo's Bread & Butter Pickles

Longo's Bread & Butter Pickles are a private-label product produced for Longo Brothers Fruit Markets, a premier grocery retailer based in Ontario, Canada. The pickles are explicitly labeled as being made with Canadian cucumbers, highlighting a commitment to local sourcing and domestic production within Canada. These pickles offer the traditional sweet and tangy flavor profile characteristic of the bread and butter style, packaged in a 750 mL glass jar.

The Longo's brand was founded in 1956 by Tommy, Joe, and Gus Longo in Toronto. For decades, it operated as a family-owned enterprise known for high-quality fresh produce and gourmet grocery items. In 2021, Empire Company Limited, one of Canada's largest grocery retailers, acquired a 51% majority stake in Longo's, integrating it into their extensive portfolio alongside brands like Sobeys and Safeway. Despite this corporate ownership, Longo's continues to operate with its unique brand identity and focuses on serving the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area.
