Enrico Formella | Hot Giardiniera | Italian - Chicago Style Hot Pickled Vegetables 128oz.

I really liked the taste and the value. I make mini-pizzas with Naan as the crust, few spoonfuls of pizza sauce, some Enrico Formella Hot Giardiniera, Italian - Chicago Style Hot Pickled Vegetables, some Swiss Cheese. Sometimes pepperoni. Great Stuff.

The Formella family has been making their giard for tens of years. I'm actually friends with one of them and she would tell me as a little girl they would be down in the basement chopping peppers, cauliflower, carrots, and olives. This is the best giard out of so many you find on shelves at the grocery store. I'm from Chicago and miss the corner Italian beef sandwich shops on the corners, so I am so happy I can buy this online. I always get the hot, which isn't so bad it burns. It's perfect for topping hot dogs, pizza, burgers, sandwiches, or mixing in your tuna salad. I love this brand, it's the only one I buy.

The flavor is amazing. It is pretty spicy. My only complaint is that it is packaged in oil. You have to refrigerate it after opening and the oil gets very thick.

This is very mild and contains much less jalapeños compared to Marconi brand which is hot and more jalapeños (my preference). Next time I'll order the Marconi HOT giardiniera.

I got it from a different seller first. All oils were drained outside the box, and vegetables were less than half, so I knew there are lots of oil in it. But I ordered anyway. Tastes fine, but it is super oily, and most of them are jalapeno and carrots. Also, it contains unwanted additives. After ate, I got heartburn, so this is not for me, but I have to eat it for a huge amount. I should have tried a small jar first. Regret.

So good! Very hot! Perfect for Italian beef sandwiches, or any kind of sandwich…

Was very good for the price

This is the best giardiniera available through Amazon! I prefer their chop consistency and the flavor is a good as I have ever found. Unlike another national brands which I used to buy, Enrico has a good concentration of olives. Check the label on other brands and they don't even list olives!!!
