- This is the one taste people miss most when they move away from Chicago
What are those peppers on an Italian beef sandwich?
If you've ever had an Italian beef sandwich and wondered what those crunchy, acidic, bright and rich vegetables were? It was giardiniera in oil. This fermented vegetable mix holds it's crunchy texture while adding bold flavor to your sandwiches.

Giardiniera peppers in oil seems specific to Chicago. This fermented vegetable mix keeps their crunchy texture, adds some brightness to your sandwiches, pizzas, pastas, and Italian beef, but can also be used as an antipasto, use the oil instead of butter on grilled cheese sandwiches, use the oil to make popcorn for seasoned popped corn, and flavor your meatballs with giardiniera!

- Reviewed in the United States on June 14, 2025This stuff is AMAZING! Growing up in an Italian family I remember well the home made with my aunts, and my grandmother with gallons of olive oil and tons of fresh veg, getting cut, prepped, placed in mason jars and canned. This is as close as I've ever come to what I remember. Will never buy store bought again.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 17, 2025Omg amazing. Order two or three
- Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2024Love love love this product!
Being away from Chicago, I missed the delicious and unique taste of giardinera on my sandwiches, pizza and other foods.
I tried this item and I'm super satisfied with the taste and quality, especially because it's in olive oil NOT soybean oil which is what I was looking for. I ordered the mild level which for me gives me the desired spicy kick, but not super hot🔥 🥵.
The package arrived to California in a timely manner, it was well packaged, no leaks, this is the 2nd jar I ordered and it was the same great quality and taste.
It was a little pricey but worth every penny!
- Reviewed in the United States on April 1, 2021So, a while back Panera had an Italian sandwich and that was my first time every having a Giardiniera. That sandwich is no longer available and i wanted to make it at home so i started looking for a good Giardiniera to add to my sub... Ive tried several and honestly this is the best I've ever had. Its not too strong, has good flavor, and the veggies still have a little crunch and texture. I've also used it on sausage hoagies and loved it there.
Even more so, i had an issue with the initial delivery, the wrong item was sent and because it was a food item, amazon would not let me return it. I contacted the seller and they were wonderful. They quickly sent me the correct product, let me keep the relish that was sent by mistake and made this mistake turn into a great experience. I would recommend them to anyone and will buy more (perhaps directly from their site) in future.

- Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2023A terrific condiment for a sub sandwich (Hoagie where I come from) We spoon it on the crusty bread. Add meat and cheese and then into a hot oven for 7 minutes. Add your lettuce, tomato and onion and you have an awesome meal to remind you of home! Perfect crunchy texture. Well chopped. Still lightly vinegary and spice and the oil its packed in carries the flavor into the bread well!
