Marconi - The Original Chicago Style Hot Giardiniera - 16 oz (2 Pack)

Bought these as a condiment for my Chicago style Italian Beef sandwiches. Authentic in texture and taste to that used in Chicago style beefs. I spent years getting my process, recipe for these beefs perfect. So this Gardinera had to measure up. It does.

Fantastic on sandwiches, brats or whatever! The hot version is definitely HOT!

I other this al the time!! If you like it spicy add it to a salad!! 10 stars for this one!!!

Takes a beef sandwich to the next level. I’ve had to tone down how I talk about them, because my family thinks they should be rationed.I gave a jar to a friend and my family was worried I might be having a psychotic episode letting a whole jar leave the house. 😜

Love this Hot Giardiniera. Now I make my own Chicago style sandwiches at home!

Product didn’t seem to be sealed super well, and the bottles were covered in a greasy film. The flavor is really good and spicy, but the oil it’s packed in makes it super messy.

Living in Washington with a Chicago-native partner makes it difficult to satisfy their Italian beef needs. There just aren't Italian beef sandwiches out here. It's a travesty. Luckily, I can make the meat (or the plant-based facsimile) and that part is still great. The correct bread is also difficult to find(I ordered some online this year), but the correct giardiniera is weirdly the hardest ingredient to source. It used to be carried at World Market and I think I've seen it once before in a random store, but I couldn't remember which. Mezetti giardiniera is terrible. I tried a smaller brand and it was almost there, but way too salty with the wrong veggies. Marconi hot is *the* giardiniera of Italian beef. So good. My partner actually doesn't eat the giardiniera, but if I'm going through the effort to make Italian beef from scratch, I need the right giardiniera to finish the sandwich properly.

Just like what you get in Chicago! Great stuff!!!
