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

Comparing this, it has a nice mix with a spicy but not too hot taste.

Was very good for the price

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.

This has more oil then the other leading brand Marconi. There are a few red peppers that were not in the Marconi brand. I noticed also more water in the pepper. The taste was very very similar to Marconi. You save a few bucks but end up probably paying the same in the long run.

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.

Great fixings for your Italian beef sandwich or other dishes — will last a long time in a cool dry pantry

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.
