D. Barbero Torrone Nougat from Piedmont David Barbero’s family has been making torrone hazelnut nougat—what I call Italian brittle—for five generations, since 1883 in the town of Asti.

Neither the history nor repetitiveness seems to dull his passion. When you ask him about torrone his eyes light up and he talks in fast, clipped English.

“We don’t kill the torrone! Industrial makers use no egg whites and they crank out a batch in an hour. They beat the mixture fast and use lots of pressure. Ours takes seven hours. We break for lunch! All of this makes our texture crumbly, not hard and tough. Here, take a bite, you can taste.” First off, you gotta love the fact that he mentions lunch as a factor in how they make better food. More importantly, he’s spot on, especially when it comes to texture. Barbero torrone is gently crumbly, in a shattering, delicate way. Spiked with loads of famous Piedmontese hazelnuts that are roasted in house every morning, then hand selected and folded into the nougat. In their classic Northern Italian graphic-designed tin they make great gifts. Or the 8-inch long bar, enrobed in chocolate, makes a great stocking stuffer.

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.

Coffee cakes have been our best selling gift since we started mailing food in the early 1990s. Having tried a truckload of coffee cakes in the past two decades I can say quite honestly that I haven’t tasted one I like better.

Spanish Chocolate Dipped Figs These once unheard of figs have become one of our most popular holiday gifts. Tender, sweeter than usual Parito figs are dried, filled with soft chocolate truffle cream and a hint of liqueur, then dipped in dark or white chocolate. Each piece is individually wrapped. They’re as good as they sound, perhaps better, and beat your mall-bought chocolates any day. The small sizes make great stocking stuffers, the bigger boxes perform amazing feats as host gifts. Any chocolate lover—which, let's face it, means 85% of humanity—will go gaga.

Honey Figs Pingo de mel figs—”honey drop”–are so named because they drip sugar when they’re ripe.

Preserved in sugar by the same nuns who make our Sugarplums, at right. Hold one up to the light. First, notice it’s improbably heavy. Next, look how it glows from within. The texture is like a candied chestnut but not as chalky. The flavor opens up after you taste, the dominant note of caramelized honey goes on and on, lingering long after you swallow. I’ve never had anything like this. I’m pretty sure eating one made me high.

Christmas Pudding From the culture that brought you fruitcake comes another muchscorned holiday food tradition: Christmas pudding. But just like how 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.

Merry Mint Layer Cake It sounds simple enough: three layers of rich chocolate cake, filled with a chocolate mint buttercream and then iced with vanilla buttercream. The sides are cloaked in brownie crumbles, and it’s topped with a fondant candy cane. But after just one bite, the traditional Swiss buttercream frostings are showstoppers. Made by whipping fresh eggs and sugar into a meringue, then mixing in real Wisconsin butter and Madagascar vanilla.

Our cakes are also marked by what they don’t contain: no artificial anything, no mixes, no shortening. These are the ingredients your grandmother used. Cakes ship frozen. Unwrap them while cool, then defrost and serve at room temperature for maximum flavor and attractiveness.

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.

Traditional Balsamics from Reggio Emilia These are the vinegars about which legends have been woven. The must—freshly pressed juice—of Trebbiano grapes is cooked down in open copper kettles to half its original volume, then put into wood to age for at least a dozen years. During the aging process, the vinegar is shifted from one type of wood to the next. Cherry, chestnut, oak and mulberry all leave their imprint on the vinegar. But that’s just the beginning. It’s then taken out and tested by a panel of judges. The qualifiers are graded gold, then silver, then red. The result is an almost unbelievable concentration of sweet-sour flavor in a dense, intense, brown-black vinegar that hints of berries, grapes, vanilla. There is nothing like it in the world. Only a tiny amount is released each year, in elegant, bell-shaped glass flasks. An amazing treat that you’ll always remember.

Gold is the ultimate grade of Reggio Emilia’s traditional balsamics. Aged for at least 25 years, it’s incredibly smooth with the silky, slow texture of syrup. Sweet and incredibly complex, it’s a vinegar to savor like the finest wine. Gift boxed.

Silver is aged at least 18 years before it’s ready to release. All that time in the wooden barrels concentrates and deepens the flavor. Every drop is a carnival of blackberry, vanilla and oak flavors. Gift boxed.

Since last year, when Zingerman’s Bakehouse started making babka­­—a sweet loaf, both fluffy and rich, kind of like a light textured coffee cake with a dense filling swirled throughout—I think I’ve sent one to just about everyone on my list. I’ll confess I started giving babkas because I like them so much myself: the swirl of dense, rich chocolate balances beautifully with the juicy raisins that add a touch of brightness, all tied together with a sprinkling of warm cinnamon on top. But lately, I keep giving babkas because every time I do, as soon as it arrives I’m sure to get a text along the lines of: “I just had a huge piece of babka...it is LEGIT.” It sure is, friends.

My favorite gift to send this year is Sandy Lee’s inimitable Lebkuchen packed in an utterly charming tin illustrated by our very own in-house artist, Ryan Stiner. His images always have a wink of mirth and sweetness.

I think he’s a master of outdoor scenes, which is what we’ve got here: two foxes trotting by the place where it all started, Zingerman’s Delicatessen. Sandy’s cookies are based on the German medieval original, stuffed with ground nuts and winter spices, the way you’d make a cookie go all out in the middle ages to celebrate Christmas.

They’re huge, each big enough to serve two or three people. A tin comes with five total: three classically spiced, two with chocolate. We only order a limited number of these so if they catch your eye like they do mine, order soon. You can reserve your tin to ship whenever you’d like.

Chocolate makes everybody happy. I sometimes feel like if a dessert isn’t made of chocolate it isn’t worth my time. So this all chocolate gift box, with a nosher Hot Cocoa Coffee Cake, two Magic Brownies with walnuts and two Black Magic Brownies without walnuts, is my go-to gift. Over the years I’ve given it to all of my siblings for Christmas, and now I give it to my sister every year. She knows she’s not supposed to share it, and she doesn’t.

It’s just enough that she can eat it all herself (alongside a few big glasses of milk!). Or if she wants to enjoy it longer, everything freezes well so it can become the gift that keeps on giving until Valentine’s day.

The Weekender is my favorite gift to send. It includes several Zingerman’s favorites­: Sour Cream Coffee Cake, a Magic Brownie and a Buenos Aires Brownie, and a loaf of Farm Bread. For the sweets lover, in addition to those brownies and coffee cake there’s also a box of Peanut Brittle. And for the savory lover, there’s a Borsellino Salami and a half pound of Cabot Nor’Easter Cheddar. The colorful box it comes packed in makes a sturdy container for many uses long after the food has been eaten—doll bed, cat hideout, regifting or storing personal treasures. Did I mention that it comes in three sizes, depending on the size of the crowd you want Stephanie’ s to feed? It never fails to please.

Chocolate fiend that I am, I’ve never tasted anything quite like the Chocolate Covered Candied Clementines from Torre Saracena.

The first time I tried Stephanie’s these I was completely blown away, and every fall when they return for the holiday season (often around my birthday) I get to discover them all over again. We offer a four-piece box you can give a tiny gift that’s not TOO decadent. Or you can do it up with a 12-piece box and have yourself a party, which I completely recommend. These are wonderful to share with anyone you love, not limited to but including yourself.

My ‘go to’ gift for special occasions and dinners is Brabander Goat Gouda cheese!!! Everyone in my family loves it, from my brothers in New Jersey and Toledo, Ohio and over to my sister in Charlotte, North Carolina. My sister especially loves it. She can’t have cow’s milk and she LOVES cheese. So she absolutely swoons over the Brabander. At first my family and friends would say, “are you bringing that ‘one’ gouda?” Now they ask for it by name. “You’re bringing the Brabander, right??” I can’t show up to a family dinner without it!

Stollen, an oblong, football shaped loaf, has been popular as a Christmas treat in Dresden, Germany for centuries. The cake is studded with candied citrus and dried fruit, spiced with cinnamon, and covered in a substantial blanket of powdered sugar.

Stollen really took off when Dresdeners Prince Ernst and his brother Duke Albrecht wrote to the Pope in 1450 to see if they could break the church’s baking rules for Advent—they wanted to include butter in their stollen.

The Pope refused. They were not easily discouraged, though. For the next four decades they kept writing.

Each new pope got a butter request and each new pope turned them down. Finally, forty years of letters and five popes later, Pope Innocent VIII gave in. He sent back the “Butterbrief,” an official document that allowed the bakers in Dresden—and only in Dresden—to bake with butter during Advent. Of course, the pope took his pound of flesh—he instituted a tax on buttered stollen. After paying it, they could bake with all the butter they wanted “with a clear conscience and God’s blessing.” Amen.

The tax made stollen expensive—a food for the 1% only. In addition to the butter, bakers started adding expensive ingredients like sugar, exotic spices like cardamom, cinnamon, and clove, and candied fruits and citrus peels. With those additions, the stollen we know today was born. Today, 500 years later, the recipe has changed very little.

Our stollen is made by the master bakers at Zingerman’s Bakehouse, inspired by the Dresden traditions. It’s jam-packed with fruit: glacéed lemons, oranges, Michigan cherries, fresh lemon and orange zest, fresh lemon juice, currants, golden raisins, and Red Flame raisins. All of that fruit soaks in Bacardi rum for at least 24 hours before being mixed into the dough. The bakers use so much rum to make the stollen that they have to place their order for it well in advance to make sure there’s enough—otherwise they’ll end up needing to raid all the local liquor stores. In addition to the fruit, the recipe includes almonds, organic Mexican vanilla beans, and a bit of Indonesian cinnamon sprinkled on top. The whole cake is blanketed in a thick coating of powdered sugar. And of course, there’s plenty of butter. (Thank you, Ernst and Albrecht!)

All the butter and sugar allow the cake to keep for weeks without any added preservatives. But it tastes so great, you won’t want to hold onto it that long. The 18-ounce cake serves 6-8 generously. It comes wrapped in a muslin bag and nestled in a colorful gift box.

You know it's Christmas in Italy when the panettone start appearing in shop windows. They're the fluffy, tall cakes that are seasoned with candied citrus and packaged as beautifully as a present for the Contessa. We’ve had great traditional Italian panettone every Christmas since our doors opened in 1982.

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. What you can’t finish after dinner makes fantastic French toast.

Robert Lambert's fruitcakes may cause a bit of sticker shock for all of us used to cheap, butt-of-jokes fruitcakes. This is a fruitcake that lives up to its legendary status in England—and then exceeds it by a mile. Robert picks and candies his own fruit in its juice: blood oranges, bergamots, Rangpur limes, Buddha's hand, citron and more. He bathes each cake in liqueur, garnished with a slice of candied fruit and wrapped gently in cheese cloth. A thin slice, cut from a chilled cake, looks like a stained glass window and is a taste revelation. Comes wrapped in a muslin bag.

I started Zingerman’s Mail Order by shipping food ad hoc, on request, out of the basement of Zingerman’s Delicatessen in the early 1990s. But for me the real date we opened, the date we became a proper business, was September 13, 1992. That’s the day Zingerman’s Bakehouse opened.

Baked goods were a hit. A huge hit. Almost immediately. Cracking good stuff that people across the country started asking for, that we started promoting more, and today have become the most popular foods we send, bar none.

Épices de Cru Grand Spice Set & Book We have a debate going in the office: I say lots of people know what wassailing is; my boss doesn’t know and says nobody knows. Weigh in on the debate by making your own wassails—warm spiced ciders to share the holiday cheer—with these astounding spice blends from Épices de Cru. Or, hand them over to an avid cook for seasoning of all sorts, and watch their eyes light up. Over two dozen metal tins filled with a shock of spice. The aromas are floral, toasty, bright, rich, herbal, earthy, all swimming together. What really steals the show, though, is the taste. This kit of 26 spice blends comes with a 144-page book featuring 60 of spice trekkers Ethné and Philippe de Vienne’s well-tested recipes. Note: the spices are whole, which makes them last much longer (and perfect for mulling in drinks!). To cook with, they only need a quick grind with a mortar and pestle or food processor.

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.

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.

Maple Pumpkin Caramel Before your eyes glaze over at the thought of yet another “pumpkin spice” product let me stop you right there. This isn’t a fad or someone trying to capitalize on the latest trend of pumpkin popularity. Made by American Spoon in northern Michigan, one of the country's premier preserve makers, this is slow cooked pumpkin, spiced up like pie, blended with rich, buttery caramel and maple syrup from nearby farms. It's addictive.

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. In glove compartments. In jacket pockets. Let's not forget the guilt got cut by half too—not that anyone's counting. Each box contains four mini scones: two currant, one ginger, and one lemon.

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. It has been the only bread in my stuffing for the last decade during Thanksgiving where it blends well to the sausage, celery and sage.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 335 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.

All chunks of Parmigiano Reggiano aren’t created equal—but you wouldn’t know that by looking at them. One 80-pound wheel of parmesan looks pretty much like another. But there can be a world of difference in flavor between parmesans made by different dairies. They’re all going to be good—but only a few are fantastic.

The best advice I can offer to tell between them is to taste a lot, and when possible, to learn more about the story behind a particular wheel of Parmigiano Reggiano: where exactly it comes from, who makes it, and what’s unique about what they’re doing. A good example is Giorgio Cravero’s selection of Parmigiano Reggiano. Giorgio isn’t a cheesemaker. His family has been selecting and aging cheeses in the town of Bra for five generations, since 1855. While Giorgio isn’t the one producing the cheese, he has very close relationships with the cheesemakers.

For the cheese we sell, he selects his wheels of Parmigiano Reggiano from a dairy called San Pietro. They’re located in a village called Benedello di Pavullo, situated over 2,300 feet above sea level. At that high elevation, there’s a lot of diversity in the grasses, including plenty of wildflowers and herbs. Compared to the lowland valleys with the lush but uniform grasses that most of the parmesan cows eat, the greater variation in the forage makes for more interesting, more flavorful milk. The San Pietro cheesemakers use their milk to make a grand total of six wheels each day.

When the wheels are 12 months old, Giorgio collects them from the dairy and brings them to his aging cave in Bra. There, the cheeses age at cool, ambient temperatures. That allows the cheese to mature slowly. Giorgio and his team also flip the wheels over more frequently than at most cheese caves. The low temperatures and frequent flipping help to keep the cheeses moist. While some Parmigiano Reggianos can be quite hard, Cravero Parmesan tends to have a slightly softer, more creamy texture (though it’s still a hard cheese). The slow aging also helps develop a sweet, delicate flavor. And unlike most parmesan makers and agers who only taste the cheese if they suspect there’s a problem, Giorgio regularly tastes his Parmigiano Reggiano to ensure it has those soft, sweet notes he prefers.

We offer Giorgio’s Parmigiano Reggiano by the pound, or, as a gift for the cheese lover on your list, we’ve hand cut a huge two-pound wedge 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.

We cut and wrap every piece of cheese to order. That means that every time you select a piece of cheese, we head to our cheese cave, take the whole wheel off the shelf, and cut your piece, just for you. It’s more work than pre-cutting and wrapping, but it keeps the cheese in its freshest, most flavorful condition so that it’s at its peak just as you are ready to enjoy it.

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.

Puglian Olive Oils in Ceramic Bottles Puglia, the heel of Italy’s boot, is known in Italy for its rustic, rural beauty and beaches, and for being the birthplace of burrata cheese, crunchy taralli crackers (online), and the little ear-shaped pasta known as orecchiette. But I’m willing to bet that soon it’ll be known for something else: ceramics. Specifically, gorgeous, hand-crafted ceramic bottles holding oustanding olive oils. We have two extra virgin Puglian olive oils, each made on a single estate using a single olive varietal: the local powerhouse Coratina, a coveted varietal for making grassy, bold, peppery oils.

The first oil comes to us from the estate of Elia Pellegrino.

Called TyPuglia, it comes in a limited edition tomato red ceramic bottle, hand crafted in the studio of Elia’s friend, Michele Cataldo.

The second oil comes from Frantoio Muraglia, in a bottle adorned with a swirl of vibrant, bright stripes. Either bottle makes a stunning gift, and the oils inside can stand up to beans, pasta, red meats, or fresh tomatoes smashed on crusty toast.

Hand-Picked Apricots and Wild Cherries and 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.

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.

Italian 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.

The locals make walnut wine, walnut eau-de-vie, 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.

The origin of rugelach, the most popular Jewish pastry in America, dates back several hundred years to a cookie in Vienna. The general format of rugelach has been the same for generations: a pastry rolled around a sweet filling to make flaky cookies just big enough for two or three bites. Though the standard form of rugelach has stayed the same, over the last century the recipe has gotten a big overhaul.

Throughout history, as Jews moved they brought their food traditions and adapted them to make use of new local ingredients. At the end of the 19th century, many Jews fleeing the pogroms of Russia and eastern Europe arrived to the lower East side of Manhattan. Within a couple of generations schmaltz spread on dark rye bread had been replaced by schmear on a bagel. The story of rugelach is no different. When Jews made rugelach in the old country, they would have been pareve—that is, prepared with no dairy or meat—so that they could be served as dessert on the Sabbath or on holidays. But in New York in the mid-twentieth century, they had new ingredients to play with, like cream cheese.

The addition of cream cheese to rugelach pastry comes, perhaps surprisingly, from the Kraft Foods Home Economics department, which was launched in the 1920s to produce and distribute recipes using Kraft products.

The method worked: in a generation cream cheese went from being an unknown oddity to a kitchen staple.

Delis started serving New York cheesecake in the 1920s; by the 1940s the trendy new Sunday brunch was bagels, cream cheese, and lox. Today, the standard recipe for rugelach dough looks awfully similar to a cream cheese pie dough recipe from a Kraft pamphlet distributed at the 1939 World’s Fair.

There’s a reason that cream cheese dough took off—and has stuck around. The cream cheese and butter come together to make an incredibly crisp, flaky pastry that crackles as you bite into it and then melts in your mouth.

About as soon as it does, you’re sure to find yourself reaching for another.

The fillings are another story. Back in the old country, rugelach might have been filled with nuts, dried fruits, poppyseed paste, or jams. Our classic rugelach, made with half toasted walnuts and half dried currants, is a combination that great-great-great bubbe back in Austria would recognize immediately. Likewise, apricot and raspberry, filled with really flavorful jams, probably wouldn’t have been too unfamiliar. Chocolate, however, is another 20th century innovation. Given that it tastes like a crisp, bite-sized pain au chocolat, I bet bubbe would go for that one, too.

We offer two rugelach boxes: one filled with half raspberry and half chocolate, the other filled with half classic (currant and walnut) and half apricot. Each box contains 16-20 pieces total, each small enough to devour in a few bites yet rich enough so a box lasts for a long time.

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.

Clairesquares Chocolate & Caramel Shortbread Cookies Crisp and crumbly shortbread cookies that melt on your tongue, topped with a layer of dense caramel just as thick as the cookie itself, finished with a crackling layer of dark chocolate to give just a bit of an edge. In the UK, this classic combination is known as millionaire—or sometimes, even more resplendently, billionaire—shortbread. For all the sweet elements, they’re not cloying thanks to the bittersweet kick of the chocolate and just enough salt in the shortbread to balance out the deep caramel richness. They’re outstanding with a cuppa, with an Irish coffee, or with an after dinner brandy.

Chocolate Covered Grissini Grissini are the thin bread sticks you see on every North Italian table before dinner. These, made by a bakery in the town of Asti, are crisp and crumbly and absolutely grand when served plain. But that's not what we're doing here.

These are covered in semi-sweet chocolate. Each bread stick is more than eight inches long and, thanks to the sweet jacket, built for coveting. Imagine a really substantial, supremely delicious version of Japanese Pocky® chocolate covered biscuit sticks. I found myself nibbling away like a chipmunk who’d hit the jackpot.

Chocolate Covered Orange Peels For fifty years the folks at Dolci Pensieri di Calabria have been preserving their famed local citrus. They start with fresh, aromatic Calabrian oranges. The peels and pith are removed by hand, the peels cut into strips. They’re candied in a sugar bath and put in an oven at low heat for hours to caramelize. Finally, they’re hand dipped into a bath of 40-percent cacao chocolate. The slight bitterness of the orange peel is tamed by the smooth coat of chocolate, leaving a clean, fruity finish in your mouth as the chocolate melts. If you’re like me and avoid most citrus-flavored chocolates because of their chemical aftertaste these will change your whole outlook.

Lavender Honey Pâte de Fruit

Italian Christmas Chocolates Slim squares of exquisite milk chocolate and dark chocolate, individually wrapped.

From Northern Italy, near the city of Turin, with lovely, gift-worthy packaging (and eye-rollingly good flavor).

P-ITC 18 piece box $30

Provence would be considered a World Heritage site if they awarded the honorific for origins of specialty food. This pâte de fruit from third generation confectioner François Doucet is redolent of the rolling purple hills awash in blossoming lavender sweeping across the Provençal countryside. Smooth, sweet, slightly earthy and bursting with the flavor of lavender honey, these soft, chewy confections make wonderful treats anytime of day. Especially great for those looking to expand their sweets repertoire beyond chocolate.
