Zingerman's Really Not Too Late Holiday Catalog 2017

HOLIDAY 2017

Germany’s Christmas cake Stollen Our delicious German style holiday cake is a longstanding Zingerman’s holiday tradition for folks looking for unique dessert ideas, great gifts and fine food for weekend brunch. With 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 coffeecake as a great afternoon snack cake. Each Stollen comes gift boxed, serves 6-8 and, barring extensive snacking, lasts for weeks.

A spicy sweet German tradition Lebkuchen

Sandy Lee fell in love with lebkuchen, the traditional German Christmas cookie, while living in Berlin. “It was like nothing I’d ever tasted,” she recalls. “I couldn’t get all those complex flavors out of my head.” She became obsessed, learning all she could about them before returning to the states and starting her own lebkuchen bakery. The recipe dates back to Medieval times and has many steps. The dough is made from almond and hazelnut flours, whole almonds, egg whites, honey, marzipan and a bevy of spices. The dense dough rests for nearly a day before heading to the oven.

The finished cookies are hand glazed and studded with almonds (classic variety) or cloaked in dark chocolate. You will find three classic and two chocolate cookies in this fire engine red tin. Each is about four inches across and an inch tall. They’re thick, moist, slightly spicy, sweet and very nutty. The consistency is a cross between cake and marzipan, making them the perfect after dinner treat with coffee or tea. Although traditionally intended to keep for months, I think these sweet, spicy, nutty treats will only last a few days (or hours!) at your house. A cookie with history, a perfect gift for anyone on your list.

Beyond the malL Cinn-ful Cinnamon Roll Gift Box

Almost anyone can make a cinnamon roll smell good while it’s baking, even among the cell phone kiosks at the mall. Unfortunately, most have little more than aroma to offer. You won’t taste much beyond sugar and cinnamon. The real challenge is to fashion a cinnamon roll that tastes as good as it smells. These fit the bill. Warm them up, break one open and put your nose up close. You’ll smell sweet butter, Indonesian cinnamon, real vanilla. But the real treat is next. Take one bite. That’s all you’ll need to forget the litany of cinnamon roll disappointments life has dealt you. With serving instructions.

pigs do fly 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 baconby-mail 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.

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

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

For his dark cake, 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-yearold Ficklin Port, and a bit of candied ginger. Then, wait for it...he soaks it all in bourbon. Like everything Robert creates, these cakes are made by hand, in small-batches with an obsessive attention to detail. The flavor is phenomenal. Comes wrapped in a muslin bag.

mOre Christmas Cakes online

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 Pope. We’ve had great traditional Italian panettone every Christmas since our doors opened in 1982.

Traditional Panettone

Chocolate and Fig Panettone

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.

P-ANE 750 g cake, serves 10-12 $55

A classic panettone cake that hides luscious pockets of tender figs and bits of melt-in-your-mouth Italian chocolate.

NOT YOUR AVERAGE BOX OF CHOCOLATES Chocolate makes a great gift. But giving the same box of chocolates every year gets stale. Break the mold this holiday season and send a confection they didn’t see coming.

They’ll love your creativity and appreciate you keeping it sweet.

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

Chocolate Orange Peels Calabria in Southern Italy is to citrus like Maine is to blueberries.

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. Any chocolate lover—which, let's face it, means 85% of humanity—will go gaga.

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.

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.

Agrumato Lemon Oil

This is a unique oil that’s got one of the most dedicated followings I’ve ever witnessed. We tracked it down years ago at the adamant insistence of Nancy Harmon Jenkins, one of the world’s most knowledgeable food folks, and it’s had a growing cadre of fans ever since. A rich, golden nectar with a distinctive herbal character no other oil can match, it sings with an unequaled pitch in its range of high and low flavor notes. One of its fans told me, “If you love olives, you’ll want to marry this oil.”

O-MAU 500 ml $40

I keep imagining that if I went to heaven, I’d discover this to be the oil the angels put on their salads. Smooth and olive-y with a lemoniness that tickles your nose like the bubbles of a fine champagne. This is not lemon flavored oil but the traditional pressing of olives and lemons together—oil of the fruit married to oil of the olive in an ethereal combination. You can do most anything with Agrumato lemon you’d do with other oils and then some. It’s fantastic brushed on top of almost any just-broiled fish.

Balsamic Balsamic Vinegars from La Vecchia Dispensa

Working just off the historic square in the center of the old town of Castelvetro, southwest of Modena, Italy, Roberta Pelloni and her husband Marino Tintori make a range of great vinegars. Although 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 those from the Tintoris. We’ve been selling them for over a decade, and they have a legion of followers who return to them again and again.

Luxe bOX of balsAmIcs Gift Box of Four Balsamics

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.

Agrodolce White Balsamic Vinegar

Agrodolce is super smooth, light on the tongue, subtle and very, very long in the finish. Technically it's not a balsamic, but you can use it in place of balsamic since it’s similarly soft and sweet. Wherever it’s employed, your cooking will be enhanced by one of the most elegant vinegars I’ve tried in a really long time. It’s crafted by Sante Bertoni on his family estate outside of Modena, Italy.

Described as a bit of a mad scientist, Sr. Bertoni is giving the vinegar extra maturing just for us, making its flavor more complex before it hits your kitchen.

holiday CLASsic Zingerman’s Spiced Pecans

Service star at Zingerman's Mail Order

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 freshlyroasted nuts would fill my nose with coziness and, for a brief moment, make the city feel like my hometown in the Midwest.

Hazelnut & Chocolate Spread

This is like Nutella® for adults. Well, maybe you already enjoy it as an adult (it’s good), but this is to Nutella® what a dark chocolate Valrhona bar is to Hershey’s®.

The more intense, less sweet, more flavorful spread you’ll want to keep for yourself. Italian Piedmontese hazelnuts are ground fine then mixed into a smooth chocolate cream that’s known in Italy as gianduja. The texture is somewhere between mousse and fudge. It’s a staple breakfast spread on toast for breakfast for many.

Others top off ice cream with a spoonful. Either way, it’s amazing.

first TIme ClasSic Seville Orange Marmalade

Robert Lambert is many things: a fruit encyclopedia, a meticulous preserve maker, a perfectionist, and a thousand other adjectives, but one thing he’s NOT is cheap. Other producers order fruit from a distributor, Robert picks his own. Others use water in their recipes, Robert juices the fruit himself and uses that instead of water. Others haphazardly toss chopped up peels into their recipes, Robert candies them first. Like I said: obsessive and meticulous.

For this marmalade—Robert’s biggest seller—he mixes bergamot and a bit of Meyer lemon in to balance the sourness of the Seville oranges. Where as other marmalades made by less diligent producers are some combination of too sweet and too bitter, Robert’s marmalade comes across as bright, fresh tasting, clean, and bursting with citrus. Even your grandmother would say Robert takes things a little too far.

the CAviar Of mustArds Violet Mustard

When this violet mustard caught my eye ten years ago it seemed like a gimmick.

But moustarde au violette has been eaten in French grape growing regions for centuries. It used to be made each autumn by blending freshly pressed red grape juice with just ground mustard seed. It was a lost art until Elie-Arnaud Denoix worked for a year to revive it. Violet mustard is coarsely ground and crunches when you bite, like caviar. It’s naturally sweet and spicy, making it ideal for serving with meats of all sorts. In its home region of Périgord it’s a traditional side for boudin sausage cooked with apples. It also adds a flowery flush of flavor to fresh cheeses like our City Goat and creamy ones like Harbison (both online).

briny, fuNkY,IrResiStIBlE Sea Urchin Pasta Sauce

Sea urchin is an acquired taste. But once acquired it haunts you. For me, there is nothing else I can eat that evokes the sea as strongly as it does.

Mussels are close. Oysters are closer. But sea urchin is briny and funky in a way that, as soon as the first bite hits, I can recall what the summer wind off the ocean felt like. I first tasted Paolo Licata’s sugo di ricci—sea hedgehog sauce, the Italian word for sea urchins—in Sicily a decade ago.

When we got the first shipment of a few cases it was just as I’d remembered: a sweet, delicious Sicilian classic tomato sauce, spiked with shrimp and anchovies, with a deep current of urchin flavor running throughout.

It’s a smooth sauce, homogenous, no chunks of fish, and I adore it on a plate of just-cooked Rustichella bucatini (online) with nothing else except a glass of cold white wine nearby. The sauce’s flavor is strong enough that a little goes a long way, which makes the expense of such a luxury easier to bear. A few spoonfuls per person is enough, so a jar can easily serve 8.

Bread by mAiL? meEt The zEro RIsk loaf.

I know, it sounds crazy. It sounded nuts in 1992 when we started baking. Still does today. But we ship more bread than any other food we sell, always have. We bake them with minimal ingredients, often just flour, water, salt, and natural sour starter. We take our time making them— up to 18 hours for tangy loaves like French Mountain and Sourdough. And we bake them in a stone hearth oven, which gives the bread a crisper, more flavorful crust. There’s not a bad loaf among them and the real gems—traditional peasant loaves like Paesano, Farm, and Jewish Rye—will rearrange your tastebuds, redefining what you think bread can be. 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.

Anyone from an 18th century New Englander to Laura Ingalls Wilder would recognize and enjoy it today (it’s referred to in Little House on the Prairie as Rye ‘n’ Injun bread). The same goes for almost anyone I hand a slice to today. It’s got great crust and a soft, chewy center that has a slight sweetness from dark molasses, making it a hit with kids.

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 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.

National treasure 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.

unparAlLeLEd pie Toasted Pecan Pie Pecan pie is the one of Southern cooking’s best diplomats. It’s hard to find folks who won’t dig into a slice placed in front of them. That said, there are good pecan pies and there are great ones. The better versions take the time and expense to tend the details. Like real butter in the crust, each one rolled and pressed out by hand. And great brown sugar—ours is organic and natural, from Mauritius—for the filling. And of course pecans: toasted pecans. Toasted before they’re baked because the flavor amplifies by an order of magnitude when you crisp them up a bit. And loads of them. Our bakers stuff in so many pecans that there’s barely enough room to fit them in, let alone any of the caramelly brown-sugar custard. Zingerman’s pecan pie explodes with flavor, a warm balanced flavor that’s never too sweet, but is unparalleled, unforgettable.

Manchester Cheese 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.

Years ago, the gelato makers at Zingerman’s Creamery traveled to Italy to learn how to make great gelato from the undisputed experts. We pretty much do it exactly the same way today. First, we get the best milk we can find: it comes delivered directly from Calder Dairy, one of the last farmstead dairies in Michigan that’s just southeast of Ann Arbor. Using the gelato-making equipment we brought over from Bologna, Italy, we churn the milk in small batches with super delicious ingredients like organic Demerara brown sugar, Madagascar Bourbon vanilla, Koeze peanut butter, and loads more. The result is gelato with creamy, rich texture and with direct, intense flavors that’s guaranteed to knock some socks off.

WHY HAVE MORE THAN ONE

?

BECAUSE NOT ALL WHEELS ARE THE SAME There are over three hundred dairies making Parmigiano Reggiano across an area the size of Connecticut. The cheese is made all year long, during biting cold and torpid heat. The cows live in lush valleys. They live high in the mountains. Some cheesemakers produce five wheels a day. Some make a hundred. Despite being called by one name, it is not one interchangeable cheese.

We spent the last year traveling across Italy, visiting dairies, tasting dozens and dozens of cheeses. (I know, rough job, right?) We’ve settled on some new cheeses that we think show something really different and special about, what for many—me included—is one of the greatest cheeses in the world.

You can find a few of them here, more online, and, of course if you’re in town, stop by Zingerman’s Delicatessen and spend some time tasting all of them with a cheesemonger. It’s something you won’t forget.

Fo u r ways to en j oy Parm i g ian o R eg g ian o (besides grating it on pasta)

1 . Shaving it on salads. Use a paring knife or a vegetable peeler to peel curls onto your dressed salad just before serving.

2 . With honey. Drizzle a bit on, slip it in your mouth—wow it’s good.

I’m partial to our chestnut honey but any good varietal honey works.

3 . With prosciutto di Parma. They’re from the same region and they’ve been eaten together for hundreds of years. A piece of cheese, a piece of ham, yum.

S ca n th i s to c h ec k o ut a ll o f o u r Pa r m i g ia n o R eg g ia n o o ffer i n g s at z i n g er m a n s .co m

4. Parm bones. Don’t throw out the rind. Keep it around (the feezer works) till you are making a soup, stew or braise. Let it melt away and infuse its flavor.

Farmstead Marvel

Valserena Parmigiano Reggiano

Mountain Maestro

Giorgio Cravero’s Parmigiano Reggiano

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

C-PAR by the pound $32

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

Parmigiano Reggiano of the Month Club Though all Parmigiano Reggiano is made according to a strict set of guidelines, there’s a world of difference between the cheeses from the 339 cheesemakers. You don’t have to be a master taster to notice the variations, either. Each month, taste the differences between cheeses of different ages, cheeses from different locations, cheeses made with different milk sources. You’ll get two chunks of Parmigiano Reggiano each month, always totaling over a pound total. The first month’s shipment also comes with a parm knife, for chipping off chunks for pasta, salads, or just nibbling. An outstanding gift for the Italophile, the cheese lover, or the culinary explorer in your life.

Nueske’s Bacons

Caveman Combo

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.

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. 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.

heritage breed ham Pecan Smoked Hams

The meat masters at Smoking Goose in Indianapolis start this ham with heritage Duroc-breed pork from Gunthorp Farm in northern Indiana. The pigs are raised out on pasture with plenty of room to root and roam, and they’re never given antibiotics or hormones. The hams are cured with pepper, coriander, mustard seed, honey, bay leaf and Shelby Blue Ribbon Cider, a strawberry-rhubarb cider from New Day Meadery in Indianapolis.

The flavor is a knockout. Sweet and complex, with a smooth smokiness that lingers long after you put down your fork. The hams are fully cooked and ready to eat right away. Most people simply heat them up and they're ready to be the centerpiece for a big meal. A Zingerman’s exclusive, available only for the holiday season.

Pheasant

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.

JAW-DROPPING MOUTH-WATERING MEATS Dry-Aged Cowboy Cut Ribeye

Grass Fed Bavette Steak

The cowboy cut has a couple inches of bone sticking out, giving you a handle to hold onto. The steaks are dry-aged for two weeks, creating huge flavor with a deep mineral tang. Like all our steaks, it's entirely grass-fed like a cow should be, but features the marbling of corn fed beef. Bone in, 2 inches thick, serves an army. From Carman Ranch. Ships frozen.

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

The bavette is a favorite among butchers for its huge flavor, but unknown to most of the rest of us—unless you're a lucky one who's enjoyed one over a glass of Côtes du Rhône at a bistro in Paris, where it's more common. It comes from next to the flank, so it’s great for grilling up rare like a flank steak or for tossing in a stir fry. Beefy, juicy, with slightly sweet flavor. From Carman Ranch. 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.

HUNGARY’S CHRISTMAS CAKE Beigli

Beigli (bay-glee) is Hungary’s favorite Christmas sweet.

It’s a yeasted dough rolled up with a sweet filling made of finely chopped walnuts. The outside crackles and shines.

Inside, there's a familiar swirl that will remind you of a cinnamon roll standing on its side. The buttery dough and rich honey walnut filling blend perfectly together, balancing its sweetness. The dough has a satisfying chew. Baked by hand at Zingerman's Bakehouse, it comes in a muslin gift bag nestled inside our fun, colorful cartoon gift box. Serves 6-8.

banana bread three ways

Classic, Chocolate and Pecan Praline Banana Breads The diabolical pastry enablers at Zingerman’s Bakehouse have focused their dark magic on classic banana bread. Like our hugely popular sour cream coffee cake and magic brownies, banana bread instantly conjures up nostalgia for home baking. The thing is, this loaf tastes better than what mom used to make (no offense intended moms, it’s just hard to beat our Bakehouse).

The classic has no nuts, with simple ingredients like cane sugar, real butter and fresh eggs, a touch of Madagascar vanilla and two ultra ripe bananas per loaf. Chocolate chunk banana has the addition of huge chunks of chocolate. Pecan praline is topped with a layer of caramel-coated toasted pecans sprinkled with a pinch of sea salt. Wrapped in tissue, each loaf comes packed in its own colorfully illustrated box. Serves 5-7.

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.

northern italian hazelnut britTle D. Barbero Torrone Nougat from Piemonte

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 Piemontese 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 new this year, an 8-inch long bar, enrobed in chocolate, makes a great stocking stuffer.
