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, 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 mix" 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 Mix (Heat Level: Hot, 8/10) COMING SOON!:
MORE Hot Peppers, 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'll reach into your skull, twist it like the cap on our jar, and leave your senses spinning in a fiery whirlpool of heat.

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 seem 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 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.
• 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.
