HOLIDAY 2018

LEBKUCHEN

NUREMBERG'S CHRISTMAS COOKIE, MADE IN AMERICA Lebkuchen have been the Christmas cookie of Nuremberg, Germany since local monks started baking them more than 600 years ago. They’re huge—about four inches in diameter and nearly an inch tall. The best ones are made with honey, spices like cinnamon and nutmeg, a bit of candied citrus, plenty of ground almonds and hazelnuts, and just a smidge of flour. In the middle ages, Nuremberg was a central hub of the continental spice trade. That gave the bakers of Nuremberg better access to exotic flavors like cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom, ginger, anise, coriander, clove, and black pepper—all of which show up in lebkuchen. Nuremberg was also surrounded by a dense forest that was so famous for its honeybees that it was known as “The German Empire’s bee garden.” Even with access to the ingredients, lebkuchen were a luxury. Spices and citrus were rarities, making them incredibly expensive. They would have been saved for special occasions, like Christmas. Fast forward to the current millennium. Sandy Lee first tasted and, in her own words “became obsessed with” traditional lebkuchen at a Christmas market while living in Berlin. When she came back home to New York City, she spent more than a year trying to recreate those flavors. Sandy uses all of the traditional ingredients to make her lebkuchen: the batter is more than 40% ground almonds and hazelnuts mixed together with honey, candied citron and orange peel, warm spices, and just enough flour to hold it all together. In Nuremberg it’s traditional for lebkuchen to be packaged in decorative tins. New this year, our lebkuchen come in a Zingerman’s-exclusive tin with a cheery, wintry scene designed by longtime Zingerman’s artist, Ryan Stiner. They’re a beautiful gift—no extra wrapping required. Each tin contains five enormous cookies: three coated with a powdered sugar glaze, and two covered in a shell of rich dark chocolate. P-LEB 5 cookies in tin $40 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

GERMAN-AMERICAN CHRISTMAS TREATS DRESDEN STYLE F RUITCAKE Zingerman's Stollen

Stollen is the classic Christmas cake of Dresden, Germany. Over the last couple of decades, the master bakers at Zingerman’s Bakehouse have made it a classic here in Ann Arbor, too. If you haven’t had stollen and wonder what all the fuss is about, just take a look at the ingredients: real butter, Bacardi® white rum, glacéed lemons, oranges, cherries, fresh lemon and orange zest, fresh lemon juice, almonds, golden raisins, Red Flame raisins, real vanilla and our very scent-sual Indonesian cinnamon. 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. G-STO gift boxed stollen $45

KINDER COOKIES

SWABIAN COOKIE Springerle Cookies

Fancy Schmancy Christmas Cookies

The St. Benedict Monastery of Ferdinand, Indiana was founded in 1867. For more than half that time, the sisters that live and work there have baked and sold cookies to support the Monastery. Springerle cookies originated in the Swabia region of southwestern Germany at the start of the Renaissance. Images and icons are pressed into the dough before baking and allowed to dry. The extra time gives the cookie a hearty texture and they taste slightly of anise without being overly sweet. Traditionally served for Christmas and Easter, they’re great for dipping in coffee or to please the lovers of old world flavors and special celebrations. P-SPG six cookies $12

This gift box has two different Christmas cookies with Germanic heritage. Pfeffernüsse Spice Cookies made with cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and a bit of black pepper. Mandel Plätzchen Almond Cookies are made with almond paste and are soft, chewy and sweet with a thin crisp crust. They’re baked with all-natural ingredients at Zingerman’s Bakehouse and packaged in a handsome box. P-TIN 18 cookie gift box $25 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

D. BARBERO TORRONE ITALIAN NOUGAT, THE WAY IT USED TO BE

Torrone is the Italian word for nougat with nuts mixed in (and like most things, it sounds much better in Italian). It’s been made in northern Italy since at least the 1400s. Most torrone these days is made with a lot of cost-cutting shortcuts: sugar instead of honey, powdered egg whites instead of real eggs, additives like gels and gums to speed up the cooking process. These modern “innovations” allow makers to crank out a batch of torrone in under an hour, but it’s sweet without nuance and hard rather than cracking and crumbly. At D. Barbero, in Asti, Piedmont, things are still done the old fashioned way. Over seven hours, they slowly churn Italian wildflower honey, a bit of sugar, real egg whites and a touch of vanilla from Madagascar in big mixers that look like giant KitchenAids. But the nougat is only the half of it—literally. Each batch of Barbero torrone is at least 51% Piedmont hazelnuts by weight. The hazelnuts come from just down the road. Piedmont hazelnuts are recognized as the most flavorful in the world, without any of the bitterness that mars other hazelnuts—just deep, rich, nutty, just-sweet-enough flavor. To turn that flavor up to eleven, the hazelnuts at D. Barbero get a double roasting before they’re churned into the torrone. To finish off, every batch of torrone is kneaded, molded, and shaped by hand. The result is a crisp, crackling texture with delicate, complex sweetness and intense, deep, nutty flavor. Even Barbero’s packaging harkens back to an earlier era. They pack their torrone in metal tins with art deco styling. It’s a beautiful presentation and makes a super gift. In Italy, torrone is a classic gift for Christmas—one that pretty much every Italian family is bound to receive. P-DBT P-DBT-SML P-CTN P-DBT-BAR

MORE NUTTY ITALIAN SWEETS Sugar Bathed

Marrons Glacés from Italy

Despite the French name, Marrons Glacés are an invention of Northern Italy’s Piedmont region. Having tasted a whole bunch of them over many years, I can confidently say that the ones the Bardini brothers make near the town of Cuneo are my favorites. The chestnuts are aged for a week while submerged in water in underground caves. Later, they soak in a vanilla-scented sugar syrup bath, during which time the syrup is slowly pulled into the center of the chestnut. Finally, they’re rolled in sugar and boxed. A surefire gift success with anyone of European origin and a great gift for chestnut lovers of any origin. P-MRN gift box of 8 $45 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

HOW ITALY DOES FUDGE

Northern Italian Hazelnut Fudge It's not really fudge. It's better. From up near Alba comes a super dense, super rich block of fudgy textured chocolate that's strewn with tons of toasted Piedmont hazelnuts. Outrageously delicious. P-IFG 200 g box $29

Amaretti del Chiostro Cookies

For almost three centuries, way up in Lombardy near the Swiss border, the Lazzaroni family has made this simple, unique almond cookie. The secret ingredient is apricot “kernels” (here we call them “pits,” but the Italians have such a nice way with language). They add a tiny edge of refreshing bitterness to the crispy, crunchy, nutty cookie. A bright, fun gift tin holds about twenty almond cookies, each individually wrapped in beautiful wax bakery paper. P-ACC 20 cookies in tin $25

GIANDUJA 2.0

Sea Salt Chocolate and Hazelnut Cremini Truffles Cremini, that’s a mushroom, right? Usually yes, but not in this case. In the Piedmont region of northern Italy, a “cremino” (plural cremini) is an ultra-smooth cube of chocolate and hazelnut gianduja. You’ll find them in the cases of every fancy chocolate shop. These cremini come from Guido Gobino, a bean to bar chocolatier in Torino, Italy, the heart of gianduja country. The cremini are super silky smooth, each dotted with a few toasty hazelnut crumbles. The rich sweetness of the chocolate gets just a bit of an edge from the addition of sea salt. Getting a box of these individually-wrapped morsels feels like winning the chocolate lottery.

PECAN SMOKED DUROC HAMS FROM SMOKING GOOSE THE NEW STANDARD FOR HOLIDAY HAMS

Forget the pineapple. These hams, made from heritage Duroc pork raised outdoors on pasture on a single farm in northern Indiana, then cured and smoked by the meat mavens at Smoking Goose, are showstoppers without the extra garnishes. Smoking Goose is a fantastic producer of slow cured and smoked meats, salumi, and sausages in Indianapolis. They are conscientious about the sourcing of the all the meat they use, working only with farmers who meet their standards for ethics and sustainability. To make these Pecan Smoked Hams, they’ve taken that attention to detail a step further by sourcing all of the pork from a single farm: Gunthorp Farms in northern Indiana. Greg Gunthorp is a 4th generation pig farmer. He raises heritage Duroc breed pigs that spend their whole lives out rooting around on pasture. He never uses any hormones or antibiotics. Greg’s attention to detail pays off with huge flavor—his Duroc pork is earthy, nutty, bold, yet clean and juicy. The team at Smoking Goose takes the raw Duroc hams and cures them with pepper, coriander, mustard seed, honey, bay leaf and Shelby Blue Ribbon Cider, a strawberry-rhubarb cider from local New Day Meadery in Indianapolis. Then they slowly smoke the hams over pecan wood. 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. A Zingerman’s exclusive. Note the hams are boneless, unsliced, shipped frozen and may take a day to defrost. M-SGH M-SGH-L

Pheasant

Christmas Goodies Gift Box

Pheasant might traditionally be the poor man’s holiday centerpiece—without money to buy meat, a pheasant could be hunted wild and dressed at home. But it’s also a popular choice for the British royal family to serve for dinner on Christmas eve. I understand why—pheasant tastes like the most flavorful chicken you’ve ever tasted, and then some. The flavor is rich and robust, without being gamey. It’ll make for a meal you’ll be talking about for many Christmases to come. A whole pheasant is about the size of a chicken and roasts to a perfect golden-brown in about as much time. Whole bird, ships frozen. M-PHS about 2-2.5 lbs, serves 4 $55

This box probably won’t fit into their stocking. But it’s so good looking and tasty they might want to hide it anyway. Make everyone jealous by sending our signature wooden gift box filled with an Original Zzang!® Handmade Candy Bar, our mini Hot Cocoa Coffee Cake, Spanish Chocolate Covered Figs, a half pound of our Nor'easter Cabot Cheddar, a small Zingerman’s Stollen, Spiced Pecans and a box of Zingerman's Pfeffernüsse Cookies.

FIRE PARCHED MINNESOTA WILD RICE This wild rice–not at all like the wild rice you’ll see in most shops–is one of America’s oldest foods. It was definitely on Native Americans’ diets four hundred years ago, which meant it was probably an early settlers' food, too. The plants were part of the Great Plains ecosystem, a thousand mile stretch of grasses whose biodiversity was as great as the Amazon. Today, the rice harvest still happens in ways a person from four centuries ago would have recognized. The grasses are gathered by hand in canoes, threshed by simple machines and parched over open fires, which gives it a slight wood-smoke aroma. To cook some I sweat half a sliced onion in a pan, add the rice and warm it, stirring it into the onion and oil, then pour in chicken broth and cook it for half an hour with the lid open till the grains crack, split and fray. The flavor is absolutely stunning. It’s mild but extremely complex, with woody, green and grassy flavors mixed in with nutty, earthy notes. Never overpowering, it’s the kind of flavor kids love too.

FRUITCAKE THE GAME CHANGER FROM ROBERT LAMBERT

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, serves 8-10 $70

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. P-VTG white vintage $85 P-VLD dark vintage $85

another reviled british christmas tradition Christmas Pudding

From the culture that brought you fruitcake comes another much-scorned holiday food tradition: Christmas pudding. But just like there’s good fruitcake and lame fruitcake, the same goes for pudding. It's not bad, it's just misunderstood. In Victorian England the holiday pudding would be made from brandy soaked dried fruits, sugar, eggs, lots of spice and just enough flour to hold it all together. This particular pudding comes to us from Thursday Cottage in Essex. They craft it in the old way, with dried currants and red and white raisins that are soaked in Cognac to intensify their flavor and give them a juicier texture. They deploy their own orange marmalade (they're a preserve maker first) as well as sugar, flour, citrus peels, cinnamon, cloves, ginger and another touch of Cognac. It’s traditional to steam the pudding for a couple of hours before serving, but Victorians didn’t have microwaves and they work too. Serve for dessert in thin slices drizzled with hot brandy butter—or some warmed maple syrup if that's what you have. P-PUD 454 g in ceramic bowl, serves 8 $30 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

Épices de Cru Grand Spice Set & Book

Clementines in Chocolate

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. P-EDC 26 spices, plus book $90

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.

GREAT OLIVE OIL, STUNNING BOTTLES Muraglia Olive Oil

TyPuglia 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. O-MUR 500 ml $60

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. O-TYP 500 ml $45 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

ITALIAN FRUIT MAGIC

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.

CHOCOLATE

BARCELONA

Good drinking chocolate is a far cry from the dusty packets many of us grew up on. It’s thick—sometimes so thick that instead of sipping, it’s easier to eat it with a spoon like pudding. It’s not overly sweet—you should still be able to taste the bitter, roasted notes of chocolate. Even a tiny cup can transport you to a dream café, far away.

Angelina Drinking Chocolate

Zingerman’s Hot Cocoa

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. P-ROV 330 g box, 8 servings $25

Angelina, the jewelbox tea salon on the Rue de Rivoli, serves the best hot chocolate in Paris—and, I’m ready to throw down and say it, maybe the world. It’s incredibly rich, with deep, intense chocolate flavor. Sipping a mug of it—served in the café with a mound of whipped cream so you can make it as decadent as you can bear—is an event to remember. If a quick jaunt to Paris for a cup of hot chocolate isn’t an option, the next best option is to make it at home for yourself. P-ANG 400 g tin $35

Move over, Europe. Your ultra thick, ultra rich, ultra luxe drinking chocolates are great, but sometimes you just want a mug of really good, everyday hot cocoa. The cocoa connoisseurs at Zingerman’s Delicatessen spent months formulating, blending, testing and finally packaging our house blend of hot cocoa mix. Made with Scharffen Berger chocolate, it’s got deep flavor without being overwhelmingly rich. Great for everyone in the family, especially kids in the après-sled mode. P-ZCO 1 pound tin $15

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.

Bell Stone Toffee Forget all the toffee disappointments life has dealt you: the ones that are rock hard, or gummy-sticky, or cloyingly sweet, or sticks in your teeth. This toffee is crisp, buttery, and after a satisfying crunch it melts in your mouth. The mother/daughter team of Pat & Anijka Stone at Bell Stone Toffee in Livonia, Michigan use Grandmother Bell’s 100-year-old recipe. 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. P-BST 6 oz bag $16 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

Peanut Butter Chocolate Clusters The nut mavens at Koeze in Grand Rapids, Michigan, start with their Cream-Nut peanut butter (left). 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. P-KPP 5 cluster box $15 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

Chocolate Cherry Bread A chocolate lover's fantasy come true— the best Belgian and French chocolate and dozens of dried Michigan cherries.

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.

Hands down, this is my favorite bread and probably my favorite food period. It is my desert island food for sure. I love it for just eating, salami sandwiches, grilled cheese and breakfast toast with tons of butter and preserves. This bread is so good with a fried egg on it.

Super-fresh goat’s milk and hand ladling make this little fresh goat cheese from Zingerman’s Creamery slowly fall apart and melt on your tongue. Bright, clean, fresh flavor. 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. C-JOG 4 oz plain $13 C-BCG 4 oz berbere $16

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. C-MNC ½ lb $18 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

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.

buTtery and Rich Alziari Olive Oil

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. O-ALZ 1 liter tin $50

We looked long and hard for an oil to call our own. We finally chose this one. 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. O-ZIN 500 ml $29 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

from La Vecchia Dispensa 8 Year Aged V-8YR

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. V-CGN 200 ml bottle $38 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

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.

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. P-SAR 125 g classic (illustrated) $7 4 or more $5.50 each P-SEV 110 g extra virgin $9 4 or more $7.50 each

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. G-HMT caveman combo $165 FREE SHIPPING

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. M-STP-2 2 steaks, 10-12 oz each $90 M-STP-4 4 steaks, 10-12 oz each $150

FREE SHIPPING

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. M-WAT-4 4 x 13 oz chops $80 M-WAT-8 8 x 13 oz chops $140 FREE SHIPPING

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.

BAcon, mEet bread Peppered Bacon Farm Bread

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. B-BAC ¾ lb handmade loaf $16 SHIPS 2 BUSINESS DAY

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.

Each shipment contains bacon stories, histories, recipes and great bacon.

FIRST RATE SOIRÉE ADVICE

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 TO 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 sopable. Combine an array of colors with an array of textures and you’ll create the perfect party spread every time!

CHARCUTERIE Borsellino Salami

Spicy Calabrian Salami

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.

SPECIAL HOLIDAY CHEESES

Harbison Cheese from Vermont

Colston Bassett Stilton from England

Black Betty Brabander Goat Gouda from Holland

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

Creaminess is the hallmark of great Stilton cheese. And Colston Bassett Stilton is the creamiest of British Stiltons—one of the world’s great blue cheeses and the traditional holiday cheese of England. 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. C-STI by the pound $40

Every year Betty Koster of Holland’s L’amuse cheese shops sets aside a small trove of her treasured Brabander goat gouda cheese. Where most wheels are aged for six months, this group gets to rest for double that time. Here, all the great elements of Brabander are amplified. The caramel. The grass. The milkshake richness. When it’s gone that’s it till next fall. A once-a-year treat. C-BTY by the pound $45

i Have ViSIons Sugarplums from Portugal

Straight from the rhymes of The Night Before Christmas, Greengage plums are harvested in Portugal in late summer then submerged in sugar syrup, where they rest for six weeks, slowly absorbing sweetness. Finally, they’re laid in the sun to dry. The long, complex process—similar to what happens with Marrons Glacés, below—makes a candied plum. Slightly sweet, green and fuzzy on the outside like a peach. They have a pit, so watch out. Remarkably, the texture is firm, like a fruit you’ve just picked. A venerable British Christmas tradition.

AMERICAN CARAMELS

Goat's Milk Caramels

Béquet Salted Caramels

Big Picture Farm started in 2010 with a small herd of goats in the hills of southern Vermont. They use their fresh goat’s milk in their little creamery and confectionery. In the last six years their caramels have won a huge following of fans, including me. Caramels made with goat’s milk have a softer texture than traditional caramels, so you won’t lose a crown chewing one. Their flavor has bright notes on top of a big bass line of burnt sugar. Four flavors in each box: Sea Salt & Bourbon Vanilla, Maple Cream, Chai and Cocoa Latte. P-GMC 20 caramels, 5.2 oz box $30

c.s. lewis’ favorite sweet

Turkish Delight with Double Roasted Pistachios

I remember reading “The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe” as a kid and being flabbergasted when Edmund gave up his siblings to the White Witch for plates of Turkish Delight. I’d never had Turkish Delight, but I figured it must taste amazing for a kid to sell his family down the river just to have some. After tasting this confection from Nar Gourmet in Turkey, I finally get where he was coming from. Made with twice-roasted pistachios, sugar, water and starch, this seemingly simple confection dazzles with flavor and texture of sweet pistachios. Chewy, crunchy, nutty and sweet, you don’t have to make a deal with the devil to enjoy this traditional treat. Comes in a handsome blue tin. P-DLT 7 oz tin $22 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

Covering those jellies in chocolate would be a good place to start. That’s exactly what Guido Gobino, one of northern Italy’s premier confectioners, has done. They took four different flavors of fruit jellies: pear, apricot, lemon, blueberry; and covered them in chocolate they make themselves. A luscious combination that balances neatly between the bright fruit flavors, the near gumdrop consistency of the jellies, and the smooth sweetness of the milk chocolate.

CHOCOLATE + NUTS

French Chocolate Covered Walnuts

American Toffee Chocolate Macadamia Nuts

In the Périgord region of southwestern France, walnut orchards blanket the landscape. The locals make walnut wine, walnut eau-devie, walnut cakes, walnut breads, salami and cheese with walnuts... the list goes on. One of the most luscious walnut creations I’ve ever had comes from Domaine de Béquignol where they subject these famous nuts to four flavor-enhancing techniques. First they’re toasted, then caramelized, then enveloped in a coat of dark chocolate as thick as the walnut itself, then dusted with cocoa powder. The effect is more than just an accretion of flavor, it’s like an explosion. They’re rich, nutty, so chocolatey, a little crunchy and yet they melt in your mouth. Twelve perfect nuts per box makes enough to share. Or not. P-CCW 12 walnut box $16

There’s lots to love about these nuts from Charles Chocolates in San Francisco. At the confection’s core lies the famous macadamia nut, roasted to bring out the depth of its milky sweet flavor without sacrificing its satisfying crunch. Next comes a layer of buttery rich toffee, then a coat of milk chocolate that’s dusted with cocoa powder. Complex, sweet, and nutty. P-TMC 6.3 oz $22

Red Pepper Truffles

Bonajuto has been making chocolate in the baroque Sicilian town of Modica since 1880. By that time Gustav Lindt had perfected conching, the process that makes chocolate smooth. Nearly every European chocolate maker adopted it. Bonajuto didn’t. They continued to make unconched chocolate, the texture crunchy in comparison. Nowadays that texture has come somewhat back in fashion. Here, you can experience it as it was and always has been. This gift box has bite sized truffles 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.

Chocolate Peppermint Creams from England

Calabria, in Southern Italy, is to citrus like Maine is to blueberries. The fruit they have is found elsewhere, but it's rarely better. Oranges from here are so delicious you want to eat the peel. Especially when it’s peeled by hand, scoured of its pith, candied in a sugar bath and put in an oven at low heat for hours to slightly caramelize, then dipped into a pool of 40% cacao chocolate. From Dolci Pensieri di Calabria, a family firm that have been at this for over five decades. P-OCP 150 g box $20

I took these home to do some "research" and hit a snag. The whole box disappeared from my office. I found it hours later, hidden under my seven-yearold daughter’s pillow. Half of the patties were gone. “I need these for work!” I said. She looked at me then back at the box of chocolates. “Well, can I have them when you’re done?” she asked. I don’t blame her.

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.

These confections were made right here in Ann Arbor, where the marzipan masters at Marzipops have shaped the candy into Stars of David and hand painted them with blue and silver stripes. A great gift for kids or to share during the eight days of fun. P-HMP 6 piece box $32 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

CHANUKAH'S SWEETS Chanukah Gift Box

Keep them noshing during the holiday with our printed gift box stuffed with Rugelach, Chocolate Covered Pretzels, Olive Oil Cake and Chocolate Gelt. G-CHA chanukah gift box $100 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

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. P-MPH 4 oz bag $9 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

the HOLIDAY superstar loaf Cranberry Pecan Bread

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. B-CRA 1¼ lb loaf $18 SHIPS 2 BUSINESS DAY

Peppy Peppermint Bark

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 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE
