As of May 1, 2023, we are sold out of inventory without plans to return to production (due to untenable conditions related to supply chain and inflation). There is potential for this recipe to resurface by another Washington-based food manufacturer under their label. We'll post updates here if that happens. #thankyou #staymighty #everygoodwish
Giardiniera is THE MIGHTY CONDIMENT
Fresh.
Crunchy.
Savory.
Briney.
Piquant.
Non-GMO.
Add moxie to:
Burgers, sandwiches, hummus, avocado, salads, scrambles, chips, crackers, pizza, & MORE!
A GARDEN RELISH
Carrots, Celery,
Serrano & Jalapeño Peppers,
Roasted Red Bell Peppers,
Pickled Pearl Onions
Spanish Olives
We begin with USA-grown Kosher
sweet peppers roasted to perfection.
Then add a mix of fresh and brined vegetables.
From 2015-2023, we went to great lengths to bring you the best and freshest GMO-free HERO Giardiniera. In fact, we kick-started the very first commercially available Non-GMO "cocktail onion" in the USA, because we couldn't find a GMO-free onion to source otherwise.
Our roasted red bell peppers were sourced from Dunbars, a family-owned processor of bell peppers in the Carolinas. We used primarily Lindsay and Del Destino Spanish Olives, which were diced just before tossing with HERO's fresh produce.
Thanks to Seattle-based Northwest Fresh Cuts, HERO enjoyed the freshest produce cut to our specifications, sourced primarily from California family farms.
For our refrigerated version of HERO, available in bulk for commercial use, we used Bella Vina Expeller Pressed GMO-free Canola Oil because, in our many months of testing, it performed the best in foodservice applications. For our pantry (shelf-stable) retail version, we used San Giuliano Italian Grapeseed Oil or Non-GMO Safflower Oil from Centra Foods.
Our white wine vinegar with no added sulfites, and a touch of salt, married the mix to bring out a crunchy, savory, briny, umami taste experience. It was #prettymighty and helped house real heroes via #veteransmatter.org.
HERO was hand-packed into 2/4 lb. bag-in-box for foodservice (refrigerated), and 12 oz and 6 oz glass jars (shelf-stable) for retail.
HERO is GMO-free as tested by IEH Laboratories, an approved lab of the Non-GMO Verification Project.
Our passion centered on bringing you the best-tasting giardiniera while positively impacting society. We think we accomplished both, though the best and most lasting impact is the 100 veterans and 55 of their children that we helped house with VeteransMatter.org.
Thank You City of Seattle, and to all cities and states with mandatory recycling programs.

Seattle Made
Giardiniera
Giardiniera (pronounced Jar-din-air) began in Italy, about two centuries ago, as a mélange of brined produce harvested from local farms. It was created as a celebration of vegetable-growers' bounty.
Our style of giardiniera is inspired by Chicago's take, dicing up the veggies, and adding hot peppers.
