Ronnie's Giardiniera® is a small-batch, handcrafted, Chicago style condiment with a kick. It’s made of fresh cut, never frozen, non-GMO peppers, vegetables and spices in extra virgin olive oil.
"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.
Giardiniera is mostly used on Italian Beef sandwiches in the Windy City, but truly can be used on everything from sandwiches to pasta to eggs, pizza, salmon, sourdough, tacos, bagels, and salads or just use it as a dip with tortilla chips!

Break out a couple of jars of Ronnie's Giardiniera at your next party and watch your guests light up in amazement, wondering how this condiment has eluded them for so long!
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.
