Ready to elevate your flavor game? Meet Ronnie's Giardiniera®, a small-batch, handcrafted, Chicago style condiment with a bold kick that transforms any dish into a culinary adventure. Made with fresh, never-frozen, non-GMO peppers, crisp vegetables, and a symphony of spices and herbs—all bathed in rich, extra virgin olive oil—this isn't just a topping, it's an experience. Ronnie's Giardiniera® is The Missing Condiment® that you never knew you needed!

The "Original" is made of NINE different peppers (some hot, some sweet) along with other vegetables and spices. It will have a heat level around 6/10. It's a well-balanced, perfect amount of heat that won't jolt you out of your chair but hangs around just long enough... No doubt though, it'll give you a little nudge to let you know that it's there.

Pronounced jar-din-air-uh (or jar-din-air, even jard, if you're a true Chicagoan), it is originally from Italy and typically served as an antipasto. Once it hit Chicago in the early 1900s it was diced up into smaller pieces and placed onto Italian Beef sandwiches. Over 100 years later, it has become a limitless condiment... and now this versatile gem is your go-to for everything from cheeseburgers to pizza, pasta to eggs, tacos, salmon, avocado & toast or even salads. Try it on sourdough, bagels, or dip into it with tortilla chips... The possibilities are endless - Add the flavor your dishes are craving!

We offer two irresistible versions of Ronnie's Giardiniera®: the Original, delivering a perfectly balanced mild-to-medium heat at a 6/10, and Rovente, our bold and hot option with an 8/10 heat level. Can't decide? Try them both or mix them together for a custom kick that’s uniquely yours!

About Ronnie's Giardiniera

Ingredients

Our jalapeño and serrano peppers, as well as some of our other vegetables, are sourced locally from Washington State small farmers such as Dear Table Organic Farm and Alvarez Organic Farms. We've also used Bellevue's own Napoleon Company for our extra virgin olive oil.

Original Mix (Heat Level: Mild/Medium, 6/10):
Ronnie’s “Original” Giardiniera is made with NINE different peppers to create depth — some hot, some sweet — blended with crisp vegetables and spices for a bold, balanced flavor. The perfectly balanced medium heat is just enough to wake up your taste buds without knocking you out of your chair.

Peppers, Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Celery, Olives, Drained (Water, Pimiento (Sodium Alginate, Guar Gum, Calcium Chloride), Salt, Lactic Acid), Pepperoncini, Drained (Water, Sea Salt, Acetic Acid, Citric Acid, Turmeric), Onions, Carrots, less than 2% of: Cauliflower, Garlic, Spices, Salt, Distilled Vinegar, Garlic Salt, Calcium Chloride (a type of salt used to maintain crispness), and Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C, which is used to promote color retention)

Rovente Hot Mix (Heat Level: Hot, 8/10):
“Rovente” is our Hot Giardiniera — in Italian, rovente means burning, or scorching — it starts smooth and builds gradually, like a fiery swirl in slow motion — all of this without losing flavor under the heat.

EXTRA Hot Peppers, Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Celery, Olives, Drained (Water, Pimiento (Sodium Alginate, Guar Gum, Calcium Chloride), Salt, Lactic Acid), Pepperoncini, Drained (Water, Sea Salt, Acetic Acid, Citric Acid, Turmeric), Onions, Carrots, less than 2% of: Cauliflower, Garlic, Spices, Salt, Distilled Vinegar, Garlic Salt, Calcium Chloride (a type of salt used to maintain crispness), and Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C, which is used to promote color retention)

How It's Made

Our ingredients are cut and diced from fresh, never frozen, non-GMO vegetables. The mixture is first brined, after that it's pickled, and then finally, we set it all in extra virgin olive oil. We use extra virgin olive oil because it is cold-pressed and left unrefined. Extra virgin olive oil has a better, more natural flavor to it. A lot of store bought giardiniera is made with soybean oil which reduces the flavor, drags down the taste and makes it feel a little "plasticky". By adding extra virgin olive oil to our mix it allows Ronnie's Giardiniera to become much more universally usable as an everyday condiment and this is exactly why it works on everything from eggs to burgers to pizza.

Storage & Use Tips

  • Serve at room temperature.
  • Top off with olive oil to preserve shelf life (if there's any left!).
  • Refrigerate after opening.
  • Clouding is normal when cold.
  • Shelf life is 3 years from date of jarring. The best buy date is stamped on the bottom of the jar.
  • Don't discard the remaining oil! It is now a Giardiniera infused olive oil and it’s delicious! Use it for dipping sourdough or a French baguette… Marinate or sauté meat and vegetables… Use it as a cooking oil… It’s limitless - What will you do with it?!?
  • Consider adding a Giardiniera Spherification Serving Spoon to your order. This specialty slotted spoon is a great way to strain some of the olive oil from the vegetables. It is the preferred utensil if you want more vegetables and less olive oil or vice versa. It can also be used to remove the vegetables from the olive oil for dipping bread or drizzling over another dish. You can add this to your order when purchasing.

And if the giardiniera wasn't enough...

THE BEST DAMN GIARDINIERA on the PLANET!

I spent my whole life living in the city of Chicago. I lived on the north side of Chicago for 30 years and I lived on the southside Chicago for 35 years. I’ve been to dozens and dozens of local ma & pa Italian restaurants trying their homemade giardinera . Nothing, nothing comes close to the best tasting giardinera I’ve ever had- RONNIE’s GIARDINIERA! From the fresh cut (non GMO) vegetables to the extra virgin olive oil, RONNIE’s GIARDINIERA is a high quality, delicious-tasting, gourmet accompaniment to some many foods.
It’s ADDICTING! Can’t live without it.

The Best

Excellent and similar to those I tried when eating beef and Italian beef sandwiches with the juice of the giardiniera soaked into the roll. Went well with the Drake Hotel and parties on Soldier Field. I ordered some type online that tasted good but had soy oil so can’t do theirs but Ronnie’s is more gourmet and has olive oil and really fresh ingredients where the flavor and crunchiness of each is very good.

Always in our fridge!

My husband eats one jar of these a week, using this on his eggs, chicken, steak, everything. I’m grateful we can pick up Ronnie’s in the neighborhood to make sure he has his fix.

This is great tasting giardiniera!

I am from Kenosha, WI which has a very large Italian population. I was raised on Italian food. This is the best giardiniera I have ever had. I am happy to be able to purchase this directly through Ronnie's. My last purchase was a gift for a childhood friend and he loves it too!! It is high quality!
