"Do It Chicago Style with Ronnie’s Giardiniera" T-Shirt

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)

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.

• 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.
