Your Own [INSERT FOOD HERE] It’s a Feature, Not a Bug Customize Anything at Zingerman’s, a Potted History

When I started this business I really didn’t have a sense of what would make a good gift. I made a flyer with a few gift collections but no one really bought any of them. Well, they bought one—our Snackboard—and it’s still a top seller (p. 37). But the rest were duds. This whole enterprise would have probably been a total flop if I hadn't been lucky enough to have the kinds of customers I did. Customers who said a gift collection was almost good enough, they just wanted to know if they could change it a bit. Hey Mo, take that olive oil out, put in this cheese. Hey Mo, not so many brownies, let’s do some cookies instead. The result was nearly every gift I made was custom.

Fast forward twenty-five years and my utter failure to make compelling gifts has ended up as a force of good. I might be a crappy gift designer, but I take some solace in the result. We basically set our business up to treat every gift box and basket as custom. It’s a huge benefit for you. If you ask us to change something it’s usually no problem. We’ll make it. Sometimes its size or perishability gets in the way, but most of the time we can work something out. It’s not too much different than getting a custom sandwich at Zingerman’s Deli. If you see an ingredient in the shop and want it on a sandwich, we’ll figure out how to do it for you. Same goes with gift boxes.

We used to have to do all of our customizing on the phone. Websites and the software that runs them couldn’t deal with customizing. (They were so bad, in fact, that we built our own software.)

They have started to catch up, though. We’ve been able to put some baked goods custom boxes online, like you see here. There are also customizable gifts of coffee cakes (p. 51), gelato (p. 40), and cheese and charcuterie (p. 4-5). We are working on more. Meanwhile, if there’s something you like that you don’t see, just ring or email. We’ll always customize for you. Always.

Customize Your Baked Goods Gifts We got into the business of shipping food more than twenty-five years ago when people couldn’t live without our brownies. Today not much has changed. Zingerman’s Bakehouse still makes all of their cookies, scones, and more the old fashioned way, with no short cuts and pronounceable ingredients like real butter, real vanilla, fresh eggs, and oven-toasted nuts. Get exactly the baked goods you want with a custom pastry gift box. Choose your mix, pick your packaging (a colorful cartoon cardboard gift box or classy wooden crate), then give us a ring or hop on our site at zingermans.com where you can customize your box online. Your personal selection is hand packed to order.

First Rate Soirée Advice by Get to cheesin' with a good cheese tray Friends at five for wine? No sweat. Family this weekend for holiday feast? Easy.

As long as you keep a few simple rules in mind, putting together the perfect cheese tray can be stress free and fun. Start off with a number so you know how much to get. A good rule of thumb is two ounces per guest. Next comes variety.

Serve a fresh cheese with a blue and something harder, like a nice mountain cheese. You’ll have something everyone appreciates and probably something new for folks to taste.

How to win friends and put together a good party spread

You CAN please all the people all the time with the right kind of party spread. The trick is all about variety. Start with color and think of the spread as any work of art (which it will be). You’re not shooting for a rainbow, but make sure the foods you serve aren’t all one color (an all beige spread is just as boring as it sounds). Now apply the same rule to texture: smooth and crunchy, soft and crusty, spreadable and sop-able. Combine an array of colors with an array of textures and you’ll create the perfect party spread every time!

holiday ham, upgraded Heritage City Hams Skip the pineapple here, these hams don’t need it. Juicy, smoky, thoroughly delicious, they come from hogs from a mix of heritage breeds, like Yorkshire, Hampshire, Berkshire, and Duroc. They are raised in the Midwest on small family farms, never given antibiotics or hormones and get outside with room to root and roam. The hams are cured by Smoking Goose with clove, juniper, bay leaves, and garlic, then smoked over a mix of applewood, cherrywood, and hickory for eight hours. Full of flavor, and easy to enjoy. Just heat, slice, eat and get ready for the compliments to roll in.

Top What was old is new again Chocolate Raisin Babka Babka is a sweet loaf, both fluffy and rich, kind of like a light textured coffee cake with a dense filling swirled throughout. In the late 19th Century, babka was made with leftover challah bread dough wrapped around nuts or jam. These days, the nuts have been replaced with fillings like chocolate. Now the master bakers at Zingerman’s Bakehouse have given babka a flavor update worthy of the new millennium. Rich with butter, swirling with chocolate and cinnamon, and studded with golden sultana raisins, our modern babka bursts with chocolatey sweetness. If you have memories of dry, lifeless babka from your childhood, forget ‘em. Wrapped in tissue and gift boxed.

Toasted and spread with a little sweet butter, it’s delicious and is perhaps rivaled only by our own coffee cake as a great afternoon snack cake. Each stollen comes wrapped in a muslin bag and nestled in a colorful gift box. It serves 6-8 and, barring extensive snacking, lasts for weeks.

betTerment with pepPermint

ancient trade

I’m a sucker for traditions, especially when they’re this delicious. Peppermint bark has been a Christmas staple for my family thanks to my great-aunt Caddy’s sweet tooth and love of Fannie Farmer’s confections. While I’ll never forget Aunt Caddy, this peppermint bark from Chocolate Signatures in Toronto has erased all memories of that other candymaker.

Dark Belgian chocolate is topped with white chocolate, then coated in a layer of crushed peppermint candies.

Each slab of bark is nearly a quarter inch tall and thick with peppermint. Comes in a hot red tin.

P-PBK 220 g tin $20

Bonajuto has been making chocolate in the baroque Sicilian town of Modica since 1880. Since the beginning they’ve made unconched chocolate, which makes the texture crunchy, not smooth. Nowadays that texture has come somewhat back in fashion. Here, you can experience it as it was and always has been. These bite sized truffles are spiced with just a hint of red pepper, another typical addition to 19th century chocolate. An outstanding gift for a chocolate aficionado—or history buff.

TyPuglia extra virgin olive oil is that and then some. It’s made in Puglia entirely from Coratina olives. They’re a coveted varietal for making peppery powerful oils, which is what you’re going to get with this. It’s a condiment that can stand up to beans, pasta, red meats. Elia Pellegrino, who makes the oil, enjoys a slab of farm bread topped with fresh smashed tomatoes, sea salt, and a glistening coat of TyPuglia. It comes in a limited edition tomato red ceramic bottle, hand crafted in the studio of Elia’s friend, Michele Cataldo, in the nearby town of Terlizzi. The bottle is reusable—being ceramic, it keeps all light out, which is the best way to store oil. Let me tell you, it’s gorgeous.

taste the (oil inside the) rainbow Muraglia Olive Oil From Puglia, the heel of Italy’s boot, comes this spicy, racy extra virgin olive oil. Made from 100% Coratina olives, this one ain’t for everybody.

But the oil aficionados who crave intensity will be blown away by its big, bold body and grassy, peppery finish. Fittingly, the bottle is just as intense as the oil within. Ceramic artists create each bottle by hand, about three per hour, which makes up quite a bit of the cost. The glaze is vibrant, a swirl of bright stripes. Not only is it beautiful to look at, it’s good for the oil, protecting it from light which causes olive oil to lose its flavor. Keep it around and you can fill it with new oil when you run out. Very limited supply.

Fruitcakes

Full disclosure: the price on these fruitcakes may cause sticker shock. While England's national holiday cake has become a cheap industrial laughing stock, these are another species altogether. Crafted by Robert Lambert in California from rare citrus that he picks and candies himself. A slice cut thin while the cake is cool—I recommend serving it chilled—looks like a stained glass window and is a taste revelation.

White Rare Citrus Fruitcake

Dark Rare Citrus Fruitcake

Vintage Fruitcakes

Robert's classic cake, the one we've offered for many years. It's by far the best of its kind I’ve ever tried. Blood oranges, bergamots, Rangpur limes and more, many that he picks himself. Each cake is soaked in cognac and aged for a few months, then garnished with a slice of candied fruit and a bay leaf, all wrapped gently in cheese cloth. It tastes fresh, clean and lively. Comes in a muslin bag.

P-KUY 1 lb, six inches long,

serves 8-10 $70

Robert starts by candying exotic citrus like Buddha’s hand citron, bergamot, blood orange, Texas lemon and white grapefruit peels. He adds hazelnuts, pecans, walnuts, dark raisins, prunes, black figs soaked in Poire William eau de vie—oh yes, there’s more—dates, cardamom, cinnamon, nutmeg, 10-year-old Port, and candied ginger. Then, wait for it...he soaks it all in bourbon. Comes in a muslin bag.

P-RLD 1 lb, 6 inches long,

If you already consider fruit cake a joke the idea of a vintage fruit cake must seem like a real marketer’s whopper. Selling last year’s fruit cakes? Yes, that’s exactly what we’re doing. Over the last year the flavor has developed, expanded and gotten more complex. Like a wine that was fun while young, more serious now that its aged, these fruit cakes have become a real aficionado's treat. Gift boxed.

IRresiStible italIAn fruits Wild Cherries and Hand-Picked Apricots in Syrup It’s been a dozen holidays since I found wild Italian cherries from Piedmont. I remember bringing the first jar to Christmas at home, spooning out individual fruits to top a crisp of cracker slathered with a gooey triple crème cheese whose name I forget. I kept at it for an hour—I have a big family and everyone wanted seconds. We barely made a dent in the jar. Prepared in small batches so they do not bruise, packed with syrup in a resealable glass jar, we've been bringing in a small quantity every holiday since and their fans gobble them up. We also offer soft, tender apricots, hand harvested and rushed into a simple syrup bath within hours. The speed is important, it protects the texture and flavor of the fruit. The longer they wait around, the more their texture breaks down, the mushier they get. But that’s the only rushing allowed. The apricots take their time once they reach their bath, allowing the sugar to slowly soak into the fruit, preserving them and freezing their flavor at its peak. An elegant gift. Fantastic with gelato or fresh cheeses. The cherries are pitted, but the apricots still have their stones so chew carefully.

Épices de Cru Grand Spice Set & Book

First you’ll be struck by how they look. Over two dozen matte metal tins, translucent tops, each filled with a shock of spice. When you unwrap it, the aroma follows: floral, toasty, bright, rich, herbal, earthy, all swimming together.

What really steals the show, though, is the taste. Ethné and Philippe de Vienne’s Montreal spice business, Épices de Cru, has what I think are hands-down the best spices around.

Their house blends are unparalleled. This kit has 26 of them, enough to keep a curious cook busy for months. It comes with a 143-page book featuring 60 of their well-tested recipes. Makes a stunning gift. Note the spices are whole, which makes them last much longer. They only need a quick grind with a mortar and pestle or food processor.

Light Bright Agrumato Lemon & Orange Oils I keep imagining that if I went to heaven, I’d discover these to be the oils the angels put on their salads. Smooth and olive-y with a bright fruitiness that tickles your nose like the bubbles of a fine champagne. This is not flavored oil but the traditional pressing of olives and citrus together—oil of the fruit married to oil of the olive in an ethereal combination.

You can do most anything with Agrumato lemon and orange oils you’d do with other oils and then some. The lemon is particularly fantastic brushed on top of almost any just-broiled fish.

If Italy had to elect a national Christmas dessert, this would be the top candidate. The texture is as fluffy as a pillow, the candied citrus-studded dough peels off in strips like cotton candy.

luscious fruit in chocolate A rarely seen specialty from Calabria. The Favella Ranch is near Sibari in Southern Italy, which, if you’re up on ancient Greek history, you might recognize as the place where the Sybarites lived and ate famously well. These clementines in chocolate fit right into the Sybarites’ hedonistic tradition: spectacular Calabrian oranges, soaked in a constantly refreshed bath of simple syrup for three weeks, cut in quarters, smothered in dark chocolate. Each piece is the size of a large chocolate truffle. If you slide it in your mouth all at once, the luscious orange syrup won’t drip down your chin. Better yet, be a Sybarite. Let it drip.

Barcelona’s beverage Enric Rovira's Drinking Chocolate A great gift for chocolate lovers who think they've had everything. In Spain they’ll drink this morning, noon and night. Stateside, it's hard to get our hands on it. When the chance presents itself we jump at it—if you see it in stock, my advice is to buy it. You can make it as thick as you want by mixing the chocolate pellets with milk. For a truly indulgent chocolate experience, go heavy on the chocolate. Slow, low heat, constant stirring and a little patience will produce one of the most luscious and rich elixirs you've ever sipped. This is one hot chocolate we adults can keep all to ourselves.

cake of light

Zingerman’s Olive Oil Cake Made with toasted almonds, lemon zest—nearly a whole lemon’s worth per cake—and lots of excellent extra virgin olive oil. It’s moist, tender, with a flavor that lingers long after the slice is sent south. The olive oil makes the cake retain more moisture than butter so it has a lovely, soft texture that stays that way for days and days. The oil also makes the cake an appropriate symbolic dish for Chanukah. We send each cake safely and attractively packaged in our cartoon box or handsome wooden crate. Serves 5-7.

divine confection

Maple Halvah

Halvah, the tahini based confection popular in the Middle East and Eastern Europe, is a staple of good Jewish delis. But most halvah out there is mass produced and not very good. Enter Victoria Wallins. She spent three years researching, testing, and perfecting halvah before launching her company, Halvah Heaven. She makes the best halvah we’ve ever tasted with a texture that’s light yet solid and melts on the tongue with flavors direct and lingering. Made with tahini and a healthy dose of Vermont maple syrup, the halvah has a dark, woody sort of sweetness. Chop up the halvah and mix it with yogurt or oatmeal, or eat it straight up. I recommend straight up.

Zingerman’s Legendary Reuben Sandwich Kits The Perfect Sandwich by Mail

Zingerman's Reuben has been our top-selling sandwich since our doors opened on the corner of Detroit Street and Kingsley in 1982.

If you know someone who loves real deli fare, sending this gift will cement your status as the most clever, generous friend anyone could have.

Heritage BreEd Ham Pecan Smoked Hams

The meat masters at Smoking Goose in Indianapolis start this ham with heritage Duroc-breed pork from Gunthorp Farm in northern Indiana. The pigs are raised out on pasture with plenty of room to root and roam, and they’re never given antibiotics or hormones. The hams are cured with pepper, coriander, mustard seed, honey, bay leaf and Shelby Blue Ribbon Cider, a strawberry-rhubarb cider from New Day Meadery in Indianapolis. The flavor is a knockout. Sweet and complex, with a smooth smokiness that lingers long after you put down your fork. The hams are fully cooked and ready to eat right away. Most people simply heat them up and they're ready to be the centerpiece for a big meal. A Zingerman’s exclusive, available only for the Easter season.

Over the last three decades of finding food across our nation and around the world (tough job, I know), we’ve met so many incredible, inspiring foodmakers. Over and over again I’m struck by what they all have in common. These are people who are passionate about their land, their heritage, and more than anything, about their food. That’s true whether they’re using rare, heirloom citrus to make beautiful syrups and marmalades like Robert Lambert in California, or tinning fresh, never frozen sardines in good olive oil like the team at La Gondola outside of Porto, Portugal, or making crusty, hearth-baked breads right here in Ann Arbor at Zingerman’s Bakehouse. These artisan gift boxes, each packed in our colorful, cartoon box, feature some of our favorite food finds.

Koeze Peanut Butter Jeff Koeze sources great Virginia peanuts, then blanches them to remove the skins and keep them from going rancid. He toasts the peanuts in vintage coffee roasters, adds sea salt, then grinds the mixture to the texture of spun silk (a slightly chunky spun silk, that is). That traditional product is not an air-whipped, sugar-filled concoction but a natural, intense, rich, mouthwatering sensation.

This toffee is crisp, buttery, and after a satisfying crunch it melts in your mouth.

Each 12-pound batch of sugar and butter cooks for about an hour, then is poured out and topped with dark chocolate and chopped pecans. Nutty, chocolatey, just sweet enough, and perhaps a little too easy to keep snacking on.

Then they blend that peanut butter with a bit of white chocolate, toss it with a ton of chopped pecans, form it into fat little clusters, and cover the clusters in really good dark chocolate. The result is supremely nutty, dense, rich, creamy with just a bit of crunch—the ultimate peanut butter cup.

In the scone world, the only thing I can imagine better than a Zingerman’s scone is a miniature Zingerman's scone. Still made with fresh butter, cream and just enough flour to hold them together, but now they’re half the size so they fit into life in all sorts of new ways. They stash easily in desk drawers.

Or for a spicy kick, try the same City Goat rolled in Berbere (illustrated), an Ethiopian spice blend of three different chili peppers plus ginger, cardamom, fenugreek, allspice, adjwain (an Indian spice similar to thyme), cassia buds, and black pepper. Bright red in color, it’s a little hot, a little sweet.

I must confess that I love cheese, and one of my long-time favorites is Manchester from Zingerman’s Creamery. Normally I will not even look at a cheese made from pasteurized milk, but this one is a rare exception—it is that good. It beautifully showcases the seasonal nature and flavors of the local milk used to make it. The cheese is soft and lusciously creamy with a mild tang when young, and gets denser and more flavorful as it ages, with a soft, almost runny rind that is delectable. Versatile and fitting all year round.

Zingerman’s Spiced Pecans My obsession with Zingerman’s Spiced Pecans is serious...I love how one seemingly simple food can be so versatile! Toss a few over fresh greens and your salad instantly becomes more sophisticated. Pile a few on a cheese plate and your dinner guests will gobble them with delight. You can even jazz up breakfast by stirring some into your oatmeal or muffin batter. However, most often, you’ll find me snacking on them right out of the package. The balance of flavors along with the crunch makes my mouth happy and the perfect blend of sweet and savory lightly lingers on my tongue long after my last bite.

The warm, buttery aroma reminds me of my days living in Manhattan when the scent of freshly-roasted nuts would fill my nose with coziness and, for a brief moment, make the city feel like my hometown in the Midwest.

Peranzana Olive Oil

It's now been over two decades since I first fell in love with Alziari, the old shop in the historic center of Nice, on France’s Côte d’Azur. Their extra virgin olive oil is exceptional and typically Niçoise—light, flowery and elegant but still full of character and charisma. I could use the same phrase to describe the tin it comes in. It's such a beautiful package that it makes one of the best gifts from our catalog; it needs no wrapping.

Zingerman’s Olive Oil is made by Marina Colonna on her ancient estate in the Molise, a little over 100 miles due east of Rome. Made from hand picked Peranzana olives pressed the same day they’re taken from the tree, this extra virgin olive oil is hugely flavorful.

250 ml bottle $25

The Balsamic Vinegars of La Vecchia Dispensa While we carry different vinegars and olive oils from different farms and acetaias we only carry one family's everyday balsamic.

Working just off the historic square in the center of the old town of Castelvetro, southwest of Modena, Italy, Roberta Pelloni, her husband Marino Tintori, and their son Simone make a range of outstanding balsamics under the name La Vecchia Dispensa.

And while I've probably tasted another fifty balsamics since we started carrying theirs a decade and a half ago none have come close in terms of balance and flavor. Although many believe Americans tend to gravitate toward sweet caramel-flavored balsamics, Marino is quick to emphasize “the key to great Balsamico is balance.” Exaggerating sweetness is an easy way to enhance appeal and reduce the need for proper blending and aging. You might not notice it at first, but after many uses overly sweet balsamics get kind of dull. Not so with Vecchia Dispensa. They have a legion of followers who return to them again and again.

Four Balsamic Showcase

You don’t have to be a balsamic sommelier to taste the difference between these amazing vinegars. As balsamics age, they go from being bright and tart to taking on a sweeter, more raisin-y flavor and a thicker, more syrupy texture. The young balsamics are better for vinaigrettes; the older ones are killer drizzled on cheese or berries. This collection of four bottles from our longtime source for balsamic, La Vecchia Dispensa in Modena, Italy, range in age from 10 to 30 years. Nestled in a beautiful box, they make a stunning gift.

6 Year Aged Cognac Vinegar

It’s not too often you see the French taking a page from the Italians when it comes to cuisine, but they did just that in crafting this intense, complex vinegar. It’s made from the same grapes (Trebbiano) balsamic vinegar makers use in Modena, Italy. Just like the Italians, they reduce the fresh pressed juice in copper kettles, then age the concentrated juice in oak barrels formerly used to age Cognac, which gives it a French twist.

Like its Italian cousin, this vinegar is smooth, complex, a little sweet with a finish that seems to linger for hours. Unlike its cousin, it’s light on the tongue (not thick) and more versatile in the kitchen. My favorite new vinegar in years.

Invited to taste, you're unable to resist. Like most, you’ll end up leaving with a couple tucked under your arm. There’s not a bad loaf among them and the real gems—traditional peasant loaves like Paesano, Farm, and Jewish Rye—will redefine what you think bread can be.

It may sound crazy to take that bread and send it in the mail. It sounded nuts in 1992 when we started baking. Still does today.

But we ship more bread than any other food we sell, always have. If you’re not totally convinced but curious to see what the fuss is about, rest assured you can try it without risk. I guarantee you’ll love it. If you don’t, I’ll refund or re-ship, no questions asked.

Ortiz Tunas from Spain

Tuna is one of the most popular foods we sell. It may seem surprising because here in the U.S., tinned tuna is a low-end commodity usually sold in supermarkets. In Spain it’s at the complete opposite of the culinary spectrum. Tuna in tins, especially these from the fourth-generation family firm Ortiz, is one of the jewels in Spain's culinary crown. Ortiz's fish are all line caught—not netted—hand filleted at sea and quickly tinned by hand in good olive oil. The olive oil is key. It adds flavor and makes the texture silky over time, unlike water, which tends to leach flavors from the fish. We went to Spain and selected a single great batch of Bonito loin, our best seller, for fullness of flavor, silky texture, and lingering sweetness.

Portuguese Sardines

Tuna is our top-selling tinned seafood, but sardines aren't too far behind.

It's surprising to me since sardines are not a big part of the popular food scene in America. This is perhaps the classic case of tinned food seen as poor, low-quality food. Before college students ate 75 cent ramen, they ate 10 cent sardines. Forget that stereotype. Here, four or five tender, perfect sardines, come nested in a tin of olive oil, and their flavor is extraordinary— the prize of Portugal, revered there as a kind of national seafood treasure.

We offer pure olive oil (classic style, illustrated) or extra virgin olive oil, which has the effect of making the flavor more buttery, less metallic; in a way it's less fishy.

Caveman Combo When Fred Flintstone got that cut of dinosaur that toppled his car it was a comic nod to real cuts of meat like these. Huge versions of the chops and steaks we’re used to, cut thicker, with more bone, more fat, more meat, more everything. That includes more ethical: like the pre-historic herds of grazing buffalo that lived their lives out on the prairies with no feedlots, antibiotics or hormones, these are cuts from cattle and pigs raised out on pasture with room to roam and the diets they evolved to eat. We’ll send two thick-cut Red Wattle porterhouse pork chops, a gigantic cowboy cut ribeye from Carman Ranch—a ribeye with a bone handle. Plus a pound of grass-fed ground beef. Shipped frozen for a night of grilling you’ll never forget.

Dry-Aged Cowboy Cut Ribeye from Carman Ranch

Grass-Fed NY Strip Steak from Carman Ranch

Grass-fed steaks have a reputation for being lean and lacking the marbling of grain-finished beef. These ribeyes defy that norm, with luscious fat and stunning marbling. The cowboy cut has a couple inches of bone sticking out, giving you a handle to hold onto. The steaks are dryaged for two weeks, creating huge flavor with a deep mineral tang. Bone in, 2 inches thick, serves an army. Ships frozen.

M-RIB-2 2 steaks, 1½ lbs each $175 M-RIB-4 4 steaks, 1½ lbs each $320

Just like tomatoes have a season, so do grass fed cattle. Lush summer grass makes for great tasting beef. Winter grass makes for less flavorful—and less tender—beef. At Carman Ranch in Oregon, the cattle spend their whole lives out on pasture eating grass, and they only produce beef when the grass is at its richest and the cattle are at their fattest. These strip steaks are deeply savory, with earthy flavor and a great mineral tang. Ships frozen.

Red Wattle Porterhouse Chops Our heritage Red Wattle breed porterhouse pork chops are over an inch thick and look like a T-bone steak. The flavor is famously sweet, in part due to a luscious band of melting fat. Great on the grill, they also cook up fantastically on the stove top (I like to brown a chop on the grill then put it in the oven to finish).

From pastured pigs that root and roam and never receive hormones or antibiotics. Ships frozen.

Benton’s Bacon

Nueske’s Bacons

There’s a reason Nueske's Applewood Smoked Bacon is our top seller. It is perfectly balanced between softly, pleasantly sweet and salty/smoky. To me this is the Platonic ideal of bacon.

If I were to choose one bacon to eat every day, which pretty much sounds like heaven, this would be it. Nueske’s slices it thickly just for us. Or, for those who prefer bacons toward the lighter end of the spectrum, Nueske’s Cherrywood Smoked is a little milder, the salt a little lighter, the smokiness a little more present.

We used to bake this on special occasions and we’d get so many orders we'd run out of bacon. It’s Farm Bread dough with Nueske’s Applewood Smoked Bacon and Zingerman's 5 Star Black Pepper.

Every bite has a bit of sourdough tang and a lot of the sweet, smoky meatiness of bacon, plus a little spice. I’m sure it makes great sandwiches, but I’ve never had a loaf around long enough to try.

As Allan Benton explains, “The secret is that there is no secret. This is the way bacon was made for years.” To do that, he dry cures heritage Berkshire pork bellies with salt and brown sugar for a full month, then smokes over hickory for 3 whole days. The exceptionally long curing and smoking times make for exceptionally flavorful, memorable flavor that’s a confluence of smoke, salt, and sweet all at once.

Our most intense bacon by a country mile.

Bacon of the Month Club

Six to date. That’s how many vegetarians I know who’ve fallen off the bandwagon thanks to bacon. I’m not using that as a proposal for torturing anyone. I’m just saying any food that’s so good it can break a strong will has to be worth trying. Our bacon club has been lauded by chefs, sous chefs, home chefs, pork-o-philes and bacon freaks all over America. It’s our most popular food club by far and it’s not just the novelty of bacon-bymail that makes it so loved. The bacons are downright amazing. It’s hard to find any of these bacons in most shops, let alone all of them. They represent the pinnacle of American bacon making and, let’s be honest, this is one food that no one in the world does better than us. Sorry Europe, it’s true. Your Parmigiano Reggiano and your Champagnes are great, but you can’t touch our bacon.

Parmigiano Reggiano PARM CLUB

PARM CLUB Three Months G-PRM-3 $150

Month 1: Age Valserena aged 24 months Valserena aged 48 months Month 2: Elevation Roncadella, from the plains

The King of Cheese Clubs Parmigiano Reggiano of the Month Club

Though all Parmigiano Reggiano is made according to a strict set of guidelines, there’s a world of difference between the cheeses from the 339 cheesemakers. You don’t have to be a master taster to notice the variations, either. Each month, taste the differences between cheeses of different ages, cheeses from different locations, cheeses made with different milk sources.

You’ll get two chunks of Parmigiano Reggiano each month, always totaling over a pound total.

The first month’s shipment also comes with a parm knife, for chipping off chunks for pasta, salads, or just nibbling. An outstanding gift for the Italophile, the cheese lover, or the culinary explorer in your life.

Mountain Maestro Giorgio Cravero’s Parmigiano Reggiano

Farmstead Marvel

Giorgio Cravero’s family has been aging Parmigiano Reggiano in Bra, Italy since 1852. He focuses on soft, sweet flavors, the kind of Parmesan you want to eat all on its own. The cheese we buy comes exclusively from the San Pietro dairy, located high in the hills above Modena, so high it’s one of only a handful of Parmesans granted the designation Prodotto di Montagna. Buy a pound a la carte, or, as a gift: for the cheese lover on your gift list, we’ve hand cut a huge two-pound wedge from one of Giorgio’s exquisite eighty pound wheels and put it in a muslin bag along with one of his company’s seals and a classic Parmigiano knife—the kind Italians use to whittle and wedge off irregular chips of parmesan.

G-GIO 2 lbs of cheese plus swag, gift bagged $95 C-VER by the pound $40

Practically all Parmigiano Reggiano is made from milk pooled together from multiple farms. But the fifth-generation cheesemakers at Valserena make a farmstead cheese. That means they not only make the cheese, they also raise the cows, and all of the milk comes from their own herd. Where most parm is made from the milk of Freisian cows, at Valserena they raise brown Bruna Sola cows. They produce less milk than Freisians, but it has more butterfat—and more flavor. The result is outstanding: the cheese has a citrusy, mouthwatering quality, not unlike what you experience when you eat a juicy steak. Outstanding grated over a dish or for snacking on by itself.

DREAMY, CREAMY, Soft Cheeses

Ever taste something so delicious it makes you blush?

You look around and think, “did that just happen?”

Serve these gems to your friends and watch them swoon over the silky smooth textures and sumptuous flavors.

As cheeses go, they don’t get any more luscious than this.

Harbison Cheese from Vermont

Harbison is a soft-ripened cheese from the acclaimed cheese makers at Jasper Hill in Vermont. It’s a small wheel made from pasteurized cow’s milk, wrapped in the inner bark of spruce trees.

The bark holds the cheese together as it ages and imparts a woody, slightly piney flavor to the cheese inside. As it ages, the cheese goes from being light and firm to ooey, gooey, and spoonable. Let it come to room temperature, cut off the top, scoop it out onto something warm and crusty, then sit back and let your eyes roll into the back of your head.

C-HAR 9 oz wheel $26 SHIPS 2 BUSINESS DAY

Regal Raisin from France One of the my favorite holiday cheeses is Regal Raisin: a triple-crème from France covered in Marc de Bourgogne soaked raisins. A little explanation on those terms is probably in order. Triple-crème is technical jargon cheesemongers geek out over, it basically means the cheese is really rich and made with lots of cream. Its level of butterfat is only slightly less than butter, if that helps. Marc de Bourgogne is aged brandy from eastern France that gives structure to the coating of sweet raisins. Together they slice through the buttery rich flavor of the cheese to open up complex, compelling flavor. Set this down after dinner, stand back, and watch the compliments fly.

Trillium from Indiana Tulip Tree Creamery, located in the heart of the midwest, is making an elegant little cheese named Trillium. For those of you who don’t count botany as a hobby, a trillium is a three petaled flower that blooms above three green leaves.

Just like the flower’s petals, this cheese stands out among many other lovely triple creams. All the milk for these little gems comes from one nearby, sustainable farm. The owners, Laura and Fons, work closely with the dairy farmer to ensure the quality and consistency of their cheese. The result is a heavenly little triple cream your friends and family will gush over. The texture is silky and luscious. The flavor is buttery soft, ultra rich and gently sweet.

C-TRL 8 oz square $24

Chestnut Wrapped Napoleon from Michigan Fresh, hand-ladeled goat’s milk rounds are aged for about two weeks before being wrapped in chestnut leaves.

Styled after the famous Provençal leaf-wrapped cheese called Banon, our chestnut leaf wrapped Napoleon made

by Zingerman's Creamery is semi-firm and has wonderful savory notes and just a hint of nutty woodiness. As it ages a little longer it will get firmer and more intense.

Comté from France's Fort St. Antoine

Recently I travelled to Marcel Petite’s Fort St. Antoine in Jougne, France where Production Manager they age Comté cheese. This was a dream come true for me. Comté from Fort St. and Head Cheesemonger Antoine is the crown of the king and a trip there is like a cheesemonger’s haj. at Zingerman's Mail Order The Fort is special because it’s an ideal environment for very slow maturing of the wheels. Inside, the cheese can develop and express its individual flavors.

Plus, it’s cool because it’s really a fort! It was built into the side of a hill in the 1800s and abandoned after it failed at its job stopping Germans in World War II. I love this cheese because I think it’s just about perfect. It’s a wonderful balance of flavors that include hazelnut, brothy French onion soup and butter. It has the most delicate hint of sweetness and a super long finish. Perfecto!

Since I first tried it, I fell in love with the creaminess and simplicity of this goat cheese. It’s mild but so refreshing with each bite, it’s hard to not stop wanting more. I’ve shared it with friends and family and enjoy their reactions when I tell them it’s made from goat’s milk. This Gouda goes great with your favorite white wine or fruity ale. I love it so much, I usually snack on it is by itself with no pairings. I recommend this cheese to anyone who’s looking to try something new that many can enjoy.

mountain cheEse Antique Gruyère

These seventy-pound wheels are aged for over a year (at least six months longer than standard issue Gruyère), hence the term “antique.” The extra aging gives this Alpine cheese an exceptionally full flavor. Imagine the flavor of the Gruyère you know now but ten times more delicious and infinitely more interesting. Smooth, with the spiciness of a great Rhine wine. It’s got an incredible nose and a dry, yet creamy on the tongue texture.

Creaminess is the hallmark of great Stilton cheese.

These wheels of Colston Bassett were selected just for us by England’s great cheese exporter, Neal’s Yard Dairy. Paired with a glass of ruby port, it’s the perfect ending to a memorable meal, or the prelude to a special gathering of friends and family.

Country Cured Ham

Spain & Tennessee, Two Peas in a Pod Spain and Tennessee might not seem that similar on the surface, but they share one big thing in common: a huge love for dry cured, well aged ham. Stories have it that in Spain, even when a family is down on their luck, there’s always money for ham. Likewise, in Tennessee, dry cured country ham has long been a staple part of the diet. The crème de la crème in ham-crazy Spain is Jamón Ibérico de Bellota, the cured ham made from black Iberian pigs fed a diet of acorns (bellotas). The acorn diet has a magical effect on the meat, creating fat that melts in your mouth in a surreal, super delicious way. And for many in the US, including chefs like David Chang of Momofuku, the ultimate country ham is cured by Allan Benton in Madisonville, TN. Working with heritage breed Berkshire pork, Allan’s ham is smoked over hickory and aged for more than a year. These are the pinnacles of ham—and the prices are at the pinnacle too. For the pork-o-phile you know, this is a gift they will geek out about to no end.

Each will last for months on the counter or in the pantry.

Bacon jam was a fad for years. We’d receive samples of someone’s unique idea to turn bacon into a spreadable ‘jam’ from all corners of the country. After some early hype, these jams faded into obscurity and the idea seemed destined for the dustbin. Then Heather and Brad Sanford from Ithaca New York’s The Piggery got into the game. Their jam, made with their own heritage-breed pork, is everything those other makers were hoping to be, but never quite achieved: a bacon spread made from great ingredients that tasted great. Slather on a burger bun or crusty bread as an appetizer. Top a fried egg sandwich with this handy flavor booster and see what all the fuss is going to be about, not what it was supposed to be.

Kokuho Rose has been cultivated by the Koda family for more than fifty years, since they first developed it on their California farm. The rice has Japanese origins, and this shortgrain, white colored rice is a great choice for sushi. The flavor is delicate, lightly sweet. But what I love about it is the texture. It’s incredibly creamy. Eating it with some stir fried meats and veggies, the rice doesn’t disappear in the background—that creamy texture amplifies the dish and adds complexity.

Matzo ball soup has been on the menu at Zingerman’s Delicatessen for more than three decades.

But in the last year the recipe underwent a big change: the Zingerman’s Deli soup maestros now use a matzo meal from Matzo Project in Brooklyn to make their matzo balls—the same matzo meal you get in this kit to make matzo ball soup at home.

The kit comes with everything you need to make a hearty broth. To make the matzo balls, just add two eggs and four tablespoons of oil.

THANKS ALL AMERICAN CHEESE

Thanksgiving Cheese Course

The day they ship to you, we’ll hand cut and wrap three of our top American cheeses: Pleasant Ridge Reserve, Cabot Clothbound Cheddar and Zingerman’s Manchester Double Cream. We’ll also stash some spiced pecans and a loaf of Roadhouse Rye along with it. About a pound and a half of cheese, plenty enough to serve twelve for appetizers or after-dinner—or maybe a bit of both. Hand packed in our cartoon gift box.

G-TCB gift box $100 SHIPS 2 BUSINESS DAY

Pleasant Ridge Reserve This may be the best American cheese being made today. Like a European mountain cheese, it's fruity in an appley sort of way— rich, deep and sweet. Production is very small—about 6,000 wheels a year. They utilize a seasonal, open grazing system, which means all the milk used to make the Pleasant Ridge Reserve is taken when the cows are happy and content out in the open pasture. Happy cows tend to produce great tasting milk. We work closely with Andy Hatch, the maker, to select specific days of cheese, tasting from a series of different days of production to pick the most flavorful of the bunch to bring to our cheese locker in Ann Arbor and hand cut for you.

Pimento Cheese and Bacon Pimento Cheese There are probably more versions of pimento cheese spread in the South than there are grandmothers. Our classic version is a salty/tangy/spicy mix of raw milk Cabot Vermont Cheddar, Hellmann’s mayo, pimento peppers and spices. And our latest is spiked with Nuseke’s Applewood Smoked Bacon. At the table they can assume as many high flavor food jobs as you can dream up: on a burger, in some mac and cheese, or just simply swept up to your mouth on celery ribs.

Cabot Clothbound Cheddar Cheddar was originally wrapped in cloth, not dipped in wax. To my mind it has a far more compelling flavor that way.

Cheddars aged in cloth have a complexity and length of flavor that’s unmatched by wax. The wheels we get are made by Cabot Farms in Vermont, and then aged at Jasper Hill Cellars. The Jasper Hill team specially selects wheels just for us. The rinds are brushed with lard, and they have a beefy, brothy flavor. Aged at least 9 months, it’s a sturdy cheese with a complex, lingering finish you can’t shake. A great cheese for serious snacking or on a world class cheese platter.

GIVING HEARTH BAKED BREADS

Roadhouse Bread

Cranberry Pecan

The house bread at our restaurant, Zingerman’s Roadhouse, and a local favorite. It’s based on an early New England recipe, made by combining rye flour and cornmeal with wheat. Anyone from an 18th century New Englander to Laura Ingalls Wilder would recognize it (it’s referred to in Little House on the Prairie as Rye ‘n’ Injun bread). It’s got great crust and a soft, chewy center that has a slight sweetness from dark molasses, making it a hit with kids.

Excellent with cream cheese, smoked salmon and just about any cheese plate you can dream up.

B-ROA 1½ lb handmade loaf $9.50

Loaded with dried cranberries and toasted pecans, this loaf is the kissing cousin to our extremely popular Pecan Raisin Bread (online).

Dense, chewy and crunchy, cranberry pecan has a tart tang that’s very enjoyable. Sliced thin, it’s great on a cheese board.

It’s also great to toss in the bread basket for dinner.

And—stay with me here— it’s an excellent shell for an adventurous chicken (or turkey!) salad sandwich.

PIES-O-PLENTY Cranberry Walnut Pie

Toasted Pecan Pie

Brown sugar custard, made with real butter, vanilla and Mauritian brown sugar, is mixed with a generous amount of rich, toasted walnuts and tawny, tangy cranberries inside an all-butter crust.

Nutty, sweet, rich and just a little tart, it’s as beautiful as it is addictive.

G-CRA in wooden crate $60 A-CRA in cartoon box $50

There are good pecan pies and there are great ones. The better versions take the time and expense to tend the details. Like real butter in the crust, each one rolled and pressed out by hand. And great brown sugar—ours is organic and natural, from Mauritius—for the filling. And of course pecans: toasted pecans.

Toasted before they’re baked because the flavor amplifies by an order of magnitude when you crisp them up a bit. And loads of them. Our bakers stuff in so many pecans that there’s barely enough room to fit them in, let alone any of the caramelly brown-sugar custard.

Zingerman’s pecan pie explodes with flavor, a warm balanced flavor that’s never too sweet, but is unparalleled, unforgettable.

Chocolate Chess Pie Chocolate chess is a traditional chocolate custard pie. Think of really great chocolate pudding all wrapped up in a crispy butter crust, and you’re almost there. We don’t skimp on the chocolate part—it’s all Mindo dark chocolate, made locally in Dexter, Michigan. A velvety smooth, extremely rich dessert that’s got longlasting flavor.

12TH ANNUAL

FLIGH T

OF FIGS

Roasted Calabrian Figs Franco Rao’s figs are an eagerly awaited seasonal crop. Prized dotato figs are picked by hand when they are fully ripe, beginning to dry and concentrate.

They’re caramelized over twenty-four hours in a low-temperature oven, a step almost no one takes because it adds extra time and expense. The impact on the flavor, however, is immense. These figs have a roasted, caramel-sweet flavor that’s irresistible. Hand packed in a ball the size of an apple, wrapped in fig leaves and twine. It’s a traditional way to store them in Southern Italy, rustic and attractive. They are great with yogurt, with cheese, with ice cream. As a gift for someone with an eye for rustic foods with real flavor, you won’t find much better. Very limited quantities.
