stay in and visit the (home) wine bar Tapas Gift Box

In Spanish, tapas sort of means snacks, but that’s an inexact translation. In English you wouldn’t eat a meal of snacks. In Spain there’s no problem doing just that. There, tapas can start a meal or substitute for it entirely. The ingredients in this collection of open-and-serve delectables are not all Spanish, but the idea is. Eat them as the Spanish do, as evening makes its way indoors, with a glass of crisp wine. Packed by hand in our classic cartoon Zingerman’s box, including: Zingerman’s Farm Bread, Old Kiev Salami, Spanish Anise and Olive Oil Crispy Tortas, Marcona Almonds, Cod-Stuffed Piquillo Peppers from Basque Country and Portuguese Sardines. Serves 6-8 quite handily. G-TAP tapas gift box $90 FREE SHIPPING

as stunning to behold as they are delicious to eat 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 $25 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

not your average box of chocolates Baby, You’re the One Chocolate Box

From the chocolate wizards at Chocolat Moderne, this is a far cry from your ordinary box of chocolates. In a white box tied with a silky red ribbon, you’ll find a dozen heart shaped truffles: white chocolate hearts filled with luscious passion fruit cardamom caramel, dark chocolate hearts filled with decadent raspberry chocolate ganache, and milk chocolate hearts filled with woozy sea salted caramel. And right in the middle but standing out from the crowd—just like your love—is one single ruby red heart filled with Hudson Baby Bourbon. As toe-curlingly delicious to eat as they are gorgeous to look at. P-BY1 12 chocolates, boxed $60 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

Italian Balsamic Showstopper 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.

Violet cheese love

SERENITY IN A WRAPPER

The Purple Russian Cheese Pairing

Chocolate Dipped Figs

French violet mustard is the most romantic mustard ever made. I know what that sounds like. It’s kind of like saying football is the most romantic sport ever played. But you’ve got to try this to understand. Violet mustard is barely spicy, muted with a dose of grape must left from the fall harvest, which leaves it a little fruity and deep purple. The mustard isn’t ground, the seeds are left whole, so they pop like caviar in your lover’s mouth. We’ve paired it with luscious, buttery, creamy Manchester from Zingerman’s Creamery, a cheese that oozes just a little when fully ripe. Bring a bottle of wine this Valentine’s Day and you’re in business, guaranteed. G-PPR cheese and mustard $60

For decades, the fig afficionados at La Higuera made only one product: rich, luscious, dark chocolate dipped figs, each stuffed with a woozy, boozy chocolate cream spiked with a hint of liqueur. Then, a few years back, they introduced white chocolate dipped figs, a lighter, sweeter, fruitier take with a hint of strawberry in the white chocolate filling. And new this year, they’ve introduced they’re prettiest fig yet, dipped in ruby chocolate. With a natural pink color that comes from a particular type of reddish-tinged cacao bean, ruby chocolate has a sweet-tart flavor. When used to enrobe a fig stuffed with a marc de cava liquor-spiked cream, the result is a pleasant, fruity confection without tasting boozy.

only for valentine’s Kifli Almond Cookies

An Austrian and Hungarian favorite, kifli are crescent moon shaped cookies. They’re made with almonds, flour, butter, sugar, vanilla and a bit of powdered sugar. Each sweet cookie is perfectly balanced between buttery and almondy with a delicate, crumbly texture that practically melts in your mouth, a lot like shortbread. They are, in a word, scrumptious. Share them, if your will is strong enough. Zingerman’s Bakehouse makes them just one month of the year in February, so I’d order a few and stock up, if I were you. P-KIF about 21 cookies, boxed $40 FREE SHIPPING

Chocolate Cheesecake

The master bakers at Zingerman’s Bakehouse start with fresh, hand-ladled cream cheese from Zingerman’s Creamery and add chocolate, creating a dark, rich base note to balance the tangy cheese. Baked in a Bakehouse brownie crumb crust, the result is an indulgent, yet light and fluffy cheesecake that’s perfect for chocolate lovers, which basically means it’s perfect for everyone. The ultimate Valentine’s Day event. The only thing that’s missing is a fork. A-CHK 7 inch cake, serves 6-8 $95 FREE SHIPPING

Dark Chocolate Honeycomb Candy

Honeycomb candy has been my absolute favorite confection since I was a kid, except we called it sea foam. Some call it sponge toffee or, in New Zealand, hokey pokey. You might call it something else too, but a confection by any other name would still taste as sweet—and as crunchy, airy, chocolatey, and fun. This sublime edition comes from the craft chocolatiers at NeoCocoa. They set a mix of honey and sugar to boil then cool it quickly, trapping crunchy caramelized bubbles inside. They cover the broken up pieces in 72% dark chocolate making bite-size treats you won’t wanna share. At least I didn’t. P-HCO 3 oz box $32 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

Tale of Two Oils Gift Box

Even as a beginner, you can taste with crystal clarity how flavors change in olive oils from different regions. First there’s Puglia in southern Italy, with classic bold, grassy, peppery olive oils. Then there’s Provence in southern France, with trademark soft, buttery, rich olive oils. Although they’re only a few hundred miles apart, the olive oil they produce is at opposite ends of the flavor spectrum. Try them side by side, and I guarantee, you really can taste the difference.

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.

The fresh-pressed juice of Ugni Blanc grapes is reduced in copper kettles, then aged in oak barrels formerly used to age Cognac.

Rioja red wine vinegar from Spain is naturally converted, barrel aged for four years and has mellow, deep flavors of raspberries and red grapes.

La Vecchia Dispensa Balsamics

Italy

Working in the old town of Castelvetro, the Tintori family make a range of outstanding balsamics. They’re 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 these. They have a legion of followers who return to them again and again. As the vinegars go up in age, they go from being bright and sharp to thick with a rich, raisiny sweetness.

Ortiz Bonito Tuna

Maffé sauce is a regional hit in West Africa. “It’s known by many different names depending on where you are,” says maker Jainaba Jeng. It’s a blend of fresh ginger, garlic, peanuts, chiles, tomatoes and more. Best of all it’s easy to use. Simply simmer chicken, meat, seafood, or veggies in the maffé and serve over rice, couscous, or noodles. Fast, flavorful food for the gourmand on the go. P-MAF 12 oz jar $17

This tuna from the fourth-generation family firm Ortiz is one of the jewels in Spain's culinary crown and will turn your everyday tuna experience into something exceptional. Ortiz's fish are all line caught—not netted—hand filleted at sea and quickly tinned in good olive oil. The olive oil adds flavor and makes the texture silky over time.

“[My mom] came over and scarfed down all the Ortiz tuna directly from the tin on the cheese board (direct quote: “WHY IS THIS SO GOOD???”).”

Marcona Almonds About ten times more flavorful than the California almonds we’re used to. These are the nuts you'll find in tapas bars across Spain, served at the start of meals, the end of meals or during a bout of afternoon sherry sipping. Dense, meaty, naturally sweet and pleasantly salty from a healthy sprinkling of sea salt, all of which gets amplified by lightly frying in a bit of oil. P-MLM 4 oz bag $9 case of 8 $60

Early Glow Strawberry Preserves Early Glow strawberries are smaller than your typical strawberry and a bit fickle about ripening, but they have the ultimate in strawberry flavor.

This custom blend of five black peppercorns—Tellicherry Reserve, Mlamala, Rajakumari, Tellicherry EB, and Shimoga—is carefully sourced by the spice trekking de Vienne family from small growers in southwest India. The aroma is piney, floral, minty, with a hint of juniper. The flavor is complex with a gentle heat that grows as it sits on your tongue.

Rustichella pasta, from Italy’s Abruzzo region, is just as easy to cook as any other pasta but has about 100 times more flavor. Hard durum semolina is extruded through bronze dies so it has a scruffy, rough surface, perfect for holding sauce. It’s dried at low temperatures for three to four days, depending on the shape, which gives it a dense, chewy texture. Rustichella takes a quick weeknight pasta dinner from ordinary to extraordinary.

cheEse aLl year Quarterly Artisan Cheese Club

best in class

From dairy to cave to table. In this club we go country to country through four traditional cheese cultures. We taste cheeses subtle (like northern Italy’s cave aged Fontina Val d’Aosta, the truffle of the cheese world), cheeses emphatic (like Switzerland’s mountain cheese called L’Etivaz, made in eighty pound wheels) and cheeses rare (like the one-and-only Tarentaise from Vermont). The tour is extensive but never tiring. These are the cheeses like you’ve never tasted before. Weighing in at over a pound and a half per shipment, they’ll last the recipient for weeks.

ZINGERMAN’S BAKE

classic loaves PaesanO Our most popular bread. Spreading out like the cap of a wild mushroom, its thin, snow white crust surrounds a soft, savory crumb filled with lots of holes (we work hard to put the holes in). This is the traditional bread of Puglia—the heel of Italy’s boot—and the best one to eat alongside a pasta dinner. Recommended for ripping and dipping in olive oil. B-PAE 1½ lb loaf $9.50 SHIPS 2 BUSINESS DAY

Farm Bread Imagine sitting around a French farmhouse table waiting for dinner. This would be the bread the family would serve. Like French pain au levain, it's a white-wheat mix made with a sour starter. Its crust is crisp, its flavor subtle and never tiring. The three pound round is my favorite. Cut into quarters and freeze what you don’t eat. B-FRM-RND 3 lb round $18 B-FRM-LOF 1½ lb loaf $9.50

SourdOUGH The crisp, crackly crust, moist honeycombed interior and that trademark sour tang will tickle your tongue. We ship them to San Franciscans across the country— even to some living near the Golden Gate. B-SDR 1½ lb round $9.50 SHIPS 2 BUSINESS DAY

Country Miche

roadhouse bread

“Miche” is French for loaf and typically refers to the large size and round shape in the style of traditional French country bread. Ours is made from a mix of Michigan wheat, rye flour, whole buckwheat, and spelt flour, all whole grain and freshly milled on our stone mill at Zingerman’s Bakehouse before being mixed into a dough and naturally leavened by its own unique starter. Deep and complex flavor. B-MCH giant 4 lb round $28 B-MCH-A 2 lb loaf $15

Inspired by our restaurant, Zingerman’s Roadhouse, and a local favorite. It’s based on an early New England recipe, made by combining freshly-milled rye flour and cornmeal with wheat. Anyone from an 18th century New Englander to Laura Ingalls Wilder would recognize it (it’s referred to in Little House on the Prairie as Rye ‘n’ Injun bread). It’s got great crust and a soft, chewy center that has a slight sweetness from dark molasses, making it a hit with kids. Excellent with cream cheese, smoked salmon and just about any cheese plate you can dream up. B-ROA 1½ lb loaf $9.50

HOUSE BREADs

ryes Traditional Jewish rye bread is still an endangered American species. Twenty-four years after we started baking them in Ann Arbor, you'll still be hard pressed to find a loaf like them anywhere in the country. Believe it or not, most “rye bread” sold in America contains very little rye flour. These are different. These are breads like my grandparents ate in Eastern Europe: plenty of rye flour, a natural sour rye starter (not the usual canned shortcut) and lots of time to let the dough develop. They’re the breads I reach for to make a sandwich or to eat with cool butter and fresh oysters. A perfect pairing with corned beef.

“America’s very best rye? No contest...It comes from Zingerman’s Bakehouse, which makes loaves of rugged rye that are dense and springy, laced with the taste of hearth smoke.” JANE AND MICHAEL STERN, SAVEUR

Savory loaves parmesan pepPer

greEn chilI & chedDAR

Peppered Bacon Farm

My Italian friends would probably think this bread is heresy, but that’s their loss. It’s a natural for me because I love bread, parmesan and good black pepper. There’s a heaping helping of Parmigiano Reggiano in every loaf, along with a load of cracked Zingerman's 5 Star Black Peppercorns. Leaves your mouth pleasantly aroused from the heat of the pepper and salivating from the savory sweetness of the parmesan. It’s fantastic when toasted. B-PEP 1 lb loaf $18

I love this bread: savory, lusty, delicious and dangerously close to addictive. Softly spicy, fire-roasted New Mexico green chilis and Nor'easter Cabot cheddar blended into the Bakehouse’s tangy Farm Bread. Great on its own or as an accompaniment to dinner. It’s especially good if you give it about twenty minutes in a 325-degree oven before you break it open so it’s nice and steamy when you crack the crust. B-CHI 1¼ lb loaf $16

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.

Craquelin The national bread of Belgium. It’s a buttery brioche rolled up with fresh orange zest and sugar cubes soaked in Grand Marnier®. The additions form a sweet swirl inside each slice like a cinnamon roll and their dark orange flavors seep into the surrounding dough. Some of our crew call it “coffee cake bread,” which gets to the spirit of the loaf, though its texture is much lighter. B-QUE 1½ lb handmade loaf $30

cinnamon raisIn A cinnamon raisin bread with substance. A chewy, solid loaf where the flavor of the dough supports the freelancing of the Red Flame raisins and the racy scent of Indonesian cinnamon. Sweetened and moistened with a hint of clover honey. Makes sensational Sunday morning toast. B-CIN 1½ lb handmade loaf $12 SHIPS 2 BUSINESS DAY

Pecan Raisin This bread has been like a chain reaction— someone serves it for brunch, and the next week their guests are calling us and buying it for themselves. Calling it dense is an understatement: a half pound of big, juicy Red Flame raisins and toasted pecans are baked into every loaf. The New York Times says our Pecan Raisin Bread "redefines the category." B-PEC 1¼ lb loaf $18 SHIPS 2 BUSINESS DAY

chocolate sourdough

A chocolate lover’s fantasy come true—the best Belgian and French chocolate and dozens of dried Michigan cherries. A few minutes in the oven, the chocolate chunks begin melting, the aroma of cocoa fills the air. Spread it with just a hint of sweet butter or set a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top of a warm slice. You’ll be sitting in front of the most decadent dessert you've had in years. B-CHO 1¼ lb loaf $18

It’s simple: our sourdough bread stuffed with chunks of dark Belgian chocolate. Like most of the school children I know, I like to rip off a hunk and eat it as soon as I open the bag, but it's best when you pop it in the oven for about fifteen to twenty minutes. Your entire kitchen is likely to be filled with sensuous smells—warm chocolate, good bread. This is one loaf that's very hard to keep around the house. B-XSB 1 lb loaf $12

Cinn ful Cinnamon Rolls 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.

opposites attract Bacon & Chocolate Besties

There are some flavor combinations that are, on their face, improbable, yet, on the tongue, sublime. Take blue cheese and Buffalo chicken wings. Coffee liqueur, heavy cream and vodka. Fried fish and malt vinegar. Or bacon and chocolate. Chances are your Valentine has a semi-private lust for bacon, or chocolate, and quite likely both. They don’t keep it from you. Why are you keeping the experience from them? Double down with more meaty chocolate smokey sweetness than they can deal with. They will never forgive forget you.

Cory Carman is your cowgirl valentine

Cory is a fourth-generation rancher running her family’s farm in the Wallowa valley in eastern Oregon. She can tell you all about the various components of grasses, and which parts contain more proteins or more carbohydrates, and how those components change as the grass grows. She uses that knowledge to put the right cattle on the right pastures— since her cattle never eat grain, getting the ideal nutrition from grass is a must. The result is beef that’s tender, juicy, and supremely flavorful.

Ribeye Steaks from Carman Ranch

Bavette Steaks 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 dry-aged 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 $200 M-RIB-4 4 steaks, 1½ lbs each $375

The bavette is a favorite among butchers for its huge flavor, but unknown to most of the rest of us—unless you’ve enjoyed one 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. Beefy, juicy, with slightly sweet flavor. Ships frozen.

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-by-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.

Angelina Hot Chocolate

The tea salon Angelina serves the best hot chocolate in Paris—and, I’m ready to throw down and say it, maybe the world. Served in a small ceramic pitcher with a mound of freshly whipped cream as big as your fist so you can make your own beverage as decadent as you can bear, drinking the hot chocolate is practically like drinking a mug of molten brownie batter. Brew a cup of Angelina’s hot chocolate at home and make your Thursday afternoon one to remember. P-ANG 400 g tin $45 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

Rovira Drinking Chocolate

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 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

Zingerman’s Hot Cocoa from Ann Arbor 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 après-sled mode. And to level up to hot cocoa 2.0, we’ve paired the Zingerman’s hot cocoa with a bag of fluffy, delicately sweet handmade vanilla marshmallows from Zingerman’s Candy Manufactory.

Traditional Mexican Chocolate This Oaxacan chocolate is to Mexico what Valrhona is to France — carefully produced, distinct, a standard against which you can judge all others in its class. The texture is coarse, with little sugar crystals exploding in your mouth and a dark, subtle, cinnamon and smoky flavor. Although it comes as solid chunk and you can eat it that way, I think it’s best enjoyed made into Mexican hot chocolate. In a small sauce pan, bring either water or milk to a near boil. Add one piece of chocolate per eight ounces of liquid. Stir the mixture till the chocolate is completely dissolved and serve. Makes 10 servings. P-OAX ½ lb box $18 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

Ritual Belize 75% Drinking Chocolate

Goodnow Farms Asochivite Hot Cocoa

Cultura Mexican Drinking Chocolate

Bean-to-bar chocolate makers, like Ritual from Salt Lake City, Utah, travel the world to source the exact cacao beans they want direct from the grower. Then they roast and process those beans into chocolate. The alternative is to buy bulk chocolate from an international conglomerate, melt it down and make it into something else. Bean-to-bar producers have control of the whole process, allowing them to produce specific flavors based on the beans they use. These beans from Belize create a drinking chocolate that’s more nutty than fruity, with earthy notes in the finish. Rounded, balanced, sublime. P-RBC 8 oz bag $22

The cacao beans behind this cocoa come from a remote village tucked against a mountain in Guatemala. There, 125 Maya families grow and process cacao around the small town of San Juan Chivite. Their cacao produces a chocolate that’s more adult than any other on our shelves. With notes of dark red fruits like cassis and plum, the bright notes are tempered by a bit of bitterness in the finish. It’s the wine-iest of all the hot chocolates in a very good way. Enjoy the bright, lip smacking chocolate kiss of each sip. P-GFA 7.8 oz bag $25

Quick history lesson. Cacao pods, the base of chocolate, were coveted by the Aztecs of central Mexico. The beans were used as currency, traded heavily, and much loved for the energizing, enriching feeling you got when you drank the chocolate mixed with other spices and chilis. It was reserved for the elites and used in religious ceremonies. For some, this drinking chocolate from Cultura in Denver, Colorado will accordingly feel like an otherwordly experience. A blend of organic cacao, cane sugar and ceylon cinnamon, it has just enough heat to linger and warm you from the inside with each elite sip. P-MXH 6 oz bag $18
