Polish-style pickled cucumber ("ogórek kiszony") is a variety developed in the northern part of Central Europe. It has been exported worldwide and is found in the cuisines of many countries. It is usually preserved in wooden barrels. A cucumber only pickled for a few days is different in taste (less sour) than one pickled for a longer time and is called ogórek małosolny, which means "lightly salted cucumber". Another kind of pickled cucumber, popular in Poland, is "ogórek konserwowy" (preserved cucumber) which is preserved with vinegar rather than pickled and uses different spices creating a sweet and sour taste.
