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

Original Mix (Heat Level: Medium, 5/10):
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)

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 5/10. 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.

Rovente Hot & Crunchy Mix (Heat Level: Hot, 8/10):
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)

"Rovente" is our Hot Giardiniera. "Rovente" in Italian means hot, burning or scorching. This version isn't going to nudge you with a 5 out of 10 like the "Original" -- It gives you a scornful tap to your head, twists your senses like the cap on our jar, and leaves you swirling in a soothing whirl of heat—in the best way possible.

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 inextra virgin olive oil. We use extra virgin olive oilbecause it is cold-pressed and left unrefined.Extra virgin olive oilhas 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 seem a little "plasticky". By adding extra virgin olive oilto our mix it allows Ronnie's Giardiniera to become much more universally usable as an everyday condiment and this is why it works on everything from eggs 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.
• 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.
