Marconi Giardiniera Hot, 32 oz

Holy Moly, These are a hit! My son-in-law had these on the table at his house. My husband tried them, fell in love, I ordered him two huge jars, and he's gobbled them down. What a find. So, if you love all your food hot and spicy, buy this product. My husband now wants a scoop of this on everything he eats. A tip from my son-in-law, after opening, strain, rinse and put back on bottle. They come in oil which can really affect what you eat.

This is good stuff! The best brand on the market

I like everything in the package. There is value in this size. A delicious mix of crunch and prodigious heat. The only thing I do not like is the soy oil and the calories from it. This stuff is loaded with calories from soy oil. For that reason I use it more sparingly that I would prefer because the taste is so exquisite. Beware of the soy oil as it is not the best for our health from everything I have read. There are giardiniera brands made with olive oil so look around, though olive oil has the same mega calories, even though it is more healthy fat than from soy oil. There are a few giardiniera mixes made with vinegar as the pickling ingredient, but those products all have much larger pieces and additional ingredients. Their flavor profile is also different and they are not spicy. Those others are best as an accompaniment as opposed to a topping. In conclusion, this giardiniera tastes wonderful, has lots of heat, is great as a topping or mixed in so many dishes from salads to soups to stir frys. Use your imagination, but be mindful of the high calories from not so healthy oil.

As good as it gets.

I like spicy things and this does not disappoint. It's very consistent in taste and texture and keeps well in the fridge for months. So far I've purchased this size four times in the last year. My main complaint is the lid not having a secondary seal and being made of a relatively brittle plastic that doesn't always survive the brutality of the USPS shipping system with the minimal bubble wrap Amazon provides. Usually the ring cracks. Most of the time no product is impacted but still they could do better for the price. Other sizes often have metal lids. So far, two of the four jars ordered have arrived with cracked lids. I did find the lid off the Blue Plate 30oz Mayonaise Amazon sells does fit well as a replacement lid. I'd rate it a 5 on the product but downrate it due to the realities of the product packaging and durability.

Would buy again

Great product can’t find at my location in Hawaii a must for Italian dishes

This is truly hot stuff and that makes me happy. I usually can take any hot spicy food and it barely phase me. I got this stuff put on some of these Butterball turkey sausages with mustard on hotdog bun. First bite I felt like I was in Chicago watching the game in the cold snow. The flavor is amazing and then that heat hits and sits on you and that is a glorious feeling. First time in a long time this hot spicy man has felt real heat that made my tongue burn lol. I'm going to add some to my tuna salad tonight instead of pickle relish so it should be amazing. Get it and enjoy use it in any way you can think of for added spicy veggies.
