Me too--and I so rarely find them outside my home. I practically love
green olives (or most others) on anything. Ever tried Boscoli Olive
Salad? I *love* this stuff:

https://www.boscoli.com/node/36

This is what they used on the original muffaletta. I add it to the
tomato-sauce and ajvar in pizza sauce. Sometimes I just sprinkle it on
top instead. For a while there was putting it on sandwiches, in eggs;
just about everywhere.

I know it's not exactly the same thing but it's *vastly* chearp than
the Boscoli which is either way overpriced or way marked up at my local
Italian Deli.

It's mostly olives so that's *why* I love it! I like the Mezzetta
stuff for a little texture and a little zip in pasta sauce and other
random uses, but no, it's not what I think of as giadinera. It's just
some pickled cauliflower, for the most part. I have a big (albeit
overpriced) jug of Boscoli giardinera, I've yet to open. I really do
love everything I've tried by Boscoli, but damn their pricing is a
total pain in the ass. I can't really rationalize it.
