Zingerman's Early Bird Holiday Catalog 2022 by Zingerman's Mail Order

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. I think the same goes for a lot of our customers—many folks return year after year to send this gift and this gift only. It’s substantial, it’s honest, it’s straight forward, and it’s really good. I guarantee you really can taste the difference.

Zingerman’s coffee cake is made without icing. This makes it look like an oddball compared to most coffee cakes out there. Nothing against icing—I like a cupcake as much as the next person—but too many times icing is a ruse. It’s an atmospheric distraction. It diverts your attention from the sub-par ingredients that make the mass below. Plus, for many folks, me included, it’s too sweet. Our coffee cake tastes like rich sour cream, butter, toasted walnuts and cinnamon. There’s just enough sweetness, which makes it go down easily, especially with coffee.

The same rich, buttery batter we use for our most popular Sour Cream Coffee Cake, but without the walnuts and cinnamon. Luscious and buttery.

This is a Zingerman’s classic and perennially our most popular gift: rich, moist Sour Cream Coffee Cake made with organic flour, loaded with Indonesian cinnamon and toasted walnuts, baked in a traditional bundt pan. It’s very impressive and extremely delicious. And it lasts. In theory, a week after delivery, wrapped, it’ll still be soft and scrumptious, melting in the mouths of a hungry crew. Personally, I’ve never seen one withstand the onslaught of the hungry for more than an hour.

Old-fashioned, handmade candy bars you can wrap your hand around. These aren’t the serious kind of sweet you nibble with your eyes closed, hushed, your tasting notes near at hand. They’re the kind where you chew great chunks off—fun, fantastic candy, made with all natural ingredients. They’re probably way over the top to hand out to trick or treaters, but I guarantee if you did you’d win Best House of the Decade.

Choose from six flavors:

Muscovado brown sugar caramel mixed with crisped rice, enrobed in milk chocolate. Sweet and light.

The deep purple color of this sweet might seem magical, but it’s 100% from nature. Ube (pronounced oo-bay) is a purple yam commonly used in the Philippines to add a rich vanilla flavor and vivid color to pastries and ice cream. These crunchy malt balls are covered with nutty black sesame praline before being enrobed in the creamy ube-colored white chocolate. The ube is primarily a visual delight, with the nutty black sesame flavor standing in the spotlight for your tastebuds. Although it’s hard to resist popping one (and more) straight in your mouth, take a moment to bite one in half and appreciate the multicolored layers of deliciousness.

To season the stupendous meats he sells in his butchershop, Dario Cecchini created a blended sea salt that tastes like Tuscany on a hot, sunny, summer afternoon. It’s a powder-fine blend with herbs you’d find around Panzano: sage, lavender, thyme, rosemary, bay, fennel pollen, juniper. Twenty five per cent of the weight is herbs—Dario is not messing around. This is seriously aromatic. Transporting. I’ve been keeping it to myself for over a year, drifting handfuls of it onto pork loin, chicken thighs, thick steaks from Cory Carman (find them on page 38) and popcorn. Oh yes, how amazing it is on popcorn.

Over two dozen metal tins, translucent tops, each filled with a shock of spice bursting with aromas: floral, toasty, bright, rich, herbal, earthy. What really steals the show, though, is the taste. Ethné and Philippe de Vienne’s Montreal spice business, Épices de Cru, has what I think are hands-down the best spices around. This kit has 26 of their house blends sourced from around the globe, enough to keep a curious cook busy for months. It comes with a 143-page book featuring 60 of their well-tested reci pes. Makes a stunning gift. Note the spices are whole, which makes them last much longer. They only need a quick grind with a mortar and pestle or food processor.

Sweet with hints of dry red fruits and berries and just a whisper of the mulberry and oak casks in which the vinegar has aged. Treat it like a precious gem, enjoy purposefully, and celebrate each drop.

This kit has all the supplies you need—plus critical instructions — to make a few batches of fortune cookies. It’s not easy to make them look perfect, but it is rewarding. For one, you get to write the fortunes (or your kids do). And two, a hot just-made fortune cookie beats any one you’ve had at a restaurant, hands down, even if you’re a beginning baker. Comes with everything you need to make 48 cookies, in four batches of a dozen. Needs adult help to bake the cookies since there’s some deft spatula work involved.

Every box comes with rennet and citric acid—enough for 30 batches of cheese—as well as easy to follow instructions on how to make your own mozza rella or ricotta from scratch. All you need to provide is milk and salt. It takes less than an hour to turn the milk into cheese. A great gift for kids, cheese lovers and families that cook together.

Matzo ball soup has been on the menu at Zingerman’s Delicatessen for four decades. But a few years back the recipe underwent a big change: the Zingerman’s Deli soup maestros now use a matzo meal from Matzo Project to make their matzo balls—the same matzo meal you get in this kit to make matzo ball soup at home. The kit comes with everything you need to make a hearty broth. To make the 8–12 matzo balls each kit can produce, just add two eggs and four tablespoons of oil.

10 Heritage Turkeys from Judd Culver

There are now a few farmers in American offering heritage breed turkeys which came back from near extinction just over a decade ago. You might even have some available where you live, which would be excellent news and you should order early from your local farmer to try one this year. Heritage birds are in sharp contrast to the modern Thanksgiving turkey, which is a bit of a monster. The modern broad breasted white, as it’s known, was bred to produce a lot of white breast meat as quickly as possible. As everything else got pushed aside in favor of that goal, out went its disease fighting genetics, out went its ability to survive on its own, out went its flavor. Commercial turkeys taste like salt and water, with very little turkey flavor to Notmention.sowith these heritage KellyBronze turkeys. They are full-flavored birds, rich with flavor and never mooshy in texture. Part of the reason is that Judd Culver, the farmer raising these birds on pasture in Crozet, Virginia, prepares them in a style called “New York dressed.” It’s the old way turkeys were processed on farms. They are cleaned without water, hung to age like steak. These might seem like small differences, but the flavor will blow you away. This turkey is so tender, so flavorful, it’s so different from what we’re used to it shouldn’t even be called by the same name. None of these flavors are extreme. This is the kind of turkey that everyone at the table is going to enjoy. For many, it’ll be the first time they’ve tasted the real thing, and they’ll be fighting for seconds. ReviVaL

“Miche” is French for loaf and typically refers to the large size and round shape in the style of traditional French country bread.

Excellent for turkey stuffing.

We spend so much time planning and preparing the perfect Thanksgiving feast— but what do you nibble on while the turkey’s still in the oven, an hour longer than you planned on?

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

From Zingerman’s Creamery, the Manchester is a French-style mold-ripened cheese, similar to a Camembert or brie. Mold-ripening changes the cheese from the outside in, making it softer, richer, and more luscious as it ages. Serve at room temperature with nuts or fruit or mustard, smear it into a ham sandwich with caramelized onions, or try it dusted with light muscovado sugar then baked into puff pastry. 8 oz round $20 FOR

Zingerman's Candy isn’t reinventing the wheel, just making it more delicious. This is stove-top brittle, not factory gristle, with butter scotch brown flavor, sharp, crackly texture and a savory finish of roasted peanut.

PAMELA,

Sunday Brunch Bakery Basket

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.

This is rye like my grandparents ate in East ern Europe, made with plenty of freshly milled rye flour (believe it or not, most “rye bread” sold in America contains very little rye flour), a natural sour rye starter (not the usual canned shortcuts) and lots of time to let the dough develop. The base bread for our reuben and many other sandwiches.

OUR GUARANTEE

A traditional loaf in Sicily, this bread has a lovely golden yellow color thanks to the base of freshly milled whole grain durum semolina flour. Durum is the wheat commonly used to make pasta and couscous. When used for breads it creates a lightly sweet, nutty flavor that pairs remarkably well with the layer of roasty, toasty sesame seeds that coats the outside of this loaf.

B-FRM-RND 3 lb round $20 B-FRM-LOF 1½ lb loaf $11 SHIPS 2 BUSINESS DAY

Based on an early New England recipe made with a mix of freshly-milled rye flour, cornmeal, and wheat. 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, toasted with honey, or just about any cheese plate you can dream up.

Sourdough Made with only organic wheat flour, water, sea salt, and our nearly three-decade old sourdough starter—and plenty of time. Mak ing a loaf takes 18 hours. 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-RYE 1½ lb loaf $10 SHIPS 2 BUSINESS DAY Farm Imagine sitting around a French farm house 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 sub tle and never tiring. The three pound round is my favorite. Cut into quarters and freeze what you don’t eat.

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. Recom mended for ripping and dipping in olive oil.

Chocolate cherry

Craquelin

The national bread of Belgium, given a sweet twist with the addition of orange. 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 cinna mon 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.

Peppered Bacon Farm

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 black pep per. 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.

Today we ship thousands of loaves every year to bread lovers nationwide. We make them with minimal ingredients, including many flours we mill ourselves. And we bake in a stone hearth oven, which gives the bread a crisper, more flavorful crust.

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.

HOUSE Breads

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.

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 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 heated.

Bacon 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 Amer ica. 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.

With the right pairing, meat and cheese don’t just go OK together. They make each other sing. First we travel across the country and around the world to find humanely-raised, delicious cured meats and hand-crafted, full-flavored cheeses. Then we taste tons of combinations (tough job, we know) to create pairings that practically dance with flavor.

Perhaps they’ll taste olio nuovo, a coveted bottle of great olive oil, just pressed. Maybe a cheese from one of America’s small dairies so regional it rarely leaves its neighborhood. All foods are exclusively selected for the members. We’ll include writing on each food's history and cul ture plus recipes for their use.

Midnight Feeding New Baby Gift Box

Get Well Gift Box

With a new baby at home, the parents don’t sleep. How on earth do they eat? Very well, if they’re lucky enough to have friends who send this. The Midnight Feeding Gift Box is filled with a mini Tea Cake, a no-nut Black Magic Brownie, Zingerman’s Chocolate Marshmallows, Zingerman’s Nor’easter Cabot Cheddar, Holy Cow Beef Sticks, Coop's Salted Caramel Sauce, John Macy’s Cheeses ticks, White Cat Popcorn Kernels, Zingerman’s Sea Salt Potato Chips, and a darn cute Zingerman’s bib.

Whenever someone loses a loved one, their house is usually besieged by grand floral arrangements. I usually send food, though, and often find it’s really appreciated—especially when they can enjoy the foods right out of the box. Here’s a great, not too perishable gift of a nosher-sized Zingerman’s Sour Cream Coffee Cake, our Nor'easter Cabot Cheddar, Old Kiev Salami, four mini Askanya Chocolate Bars, four Antonio Mattei Almond Biscotti, John Macy’s Cheesesticks, Zingerman’s Virginia Peanuts, Spanish Chocolate Figs and a bag of Zingerman’s Coffee, ground. It’s packed with class in our oval wooden crate with Zingerman’s printed on the lid. Not sending in sympathy? No problem, we can remove the identifying sticker.

They just closed on their mortgage. They just graduated from college. They just landed their dream job. They just had their first anniversary—or their 31st anniversary. Whatever the occasion, say “congrats!!” deliciously with this colorful gift box stuffed with a nosher-sized Sour Cream Coffee Cake and eight assorted Brownie Bites, a half-pound of Cabot Nor’easter Cheddar, Butter Toasted Peanuts, a couple personal-sized bags of Zingerman’s potato chips, and Chocolate Truffles from J.

By that time Gustav Lindt had perfected conching, the process that makes chocolate smooth. Nearly every European chocolate maker adopted it. Bonajuto didn’t. They continued to make unconched chocolate, the texture crunchy in comparison. Nowadays that texture has come somewhat back in fashion. Here, you can experience it as it was and always has been. This gift box has bite sized truffles spiced with just a hint of red pepper, another typical addition to 19th century chocolate. An outstanding gift for a chocolate aficionado—or history buff.

A superior selection of tasty tidbits to give a small crowd a small taste, or to keep one lucky recipient nibbling for days. Our colorful, cartooned gift box includes two brownie bites (one with walnuts and one without), a Mini Oatmeal Cookie, and Mini Ginger Jump Up Cookie, a couple of Antonio Mattei’s Almond Biscotti, a couple of Spanish Chocolate Dipped Figs, and a couple of bite-size Dark Chocolate Bars from Askanya.

Pignolis are traditional cookies from Sicily. They’re jampacked with nuts: almonds, hazelnuts, and pine nuts, the most flavorful we could find. We barely sweeten them with cane sugar and honey and the only thing holding that collection of ingredients together is egg whites—there’s not even any wheat flour mixed in, making for an explosion of toasty, nutty flavor (and making them gluten free at the same time).

Honeycomb candy has been my absolute favorite confection since I was a kid, except we called it seafoam. 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.

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

We know good brittle. Zingerman’s Candy Company has been making it for more than decade and it’s the finest peanut brittle around. (The chocolate covered variety is my personal favorite—find it at zingermans.com) So the fact that we’re selling a brittle made in someone else’s kitchen is saying something. The creative confectioners at Sweet dragon Baking Company have mastered the tricky twin aspects of brittle, flavor and texture. Made with organic pistachios, vanilla from Madagascar and cane sugar, the fla vor is sweet, light and nutty. The texture, put simply, doesn’t stick in your teeth.

Dark Chocolate Honeycomb Candy

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.

Turkish Delight with Double Roasted Pistachios

I remember reading “The Lion, The Witch, and the Ward robe” 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.

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.

I keep imagining that if I went to heaven, I’d discover this to be the oil the angels put on their salads.

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.

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 ada mant 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.”

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. four bottles, 100 ml each $150

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 great vinegars. Although Americans tend to gravitate toward sweet caramel-fla vored balsamics, Marino is quick to emphasize “the key to great Balsamico is balance.”

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. V-AGV 500 ml $29 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

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.

Cory is a fourth-generation rancher running her family’s farm in the Wallowa valley in east ern 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.

Our heritage Red Wattle 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. From pastured pigs that root and roam and never receive hormones or antibiotics. Ships frozen.

Truffles are tricky. The food world reveres them. They’re rare and hard to find and that makes them expensive. And the flavor! The flavor is...unique. Honestly, it’s not for everyone, but that’s because most of us have only experienced bad, chemically derived imitations of the fabled tuber and too much of it at that. Real truffles used sparingly can contribute an enormous amount of umami and com plexity that blends perfectly with the rich, creamy mousse. Made from chicken liver and just enough freshly foraged black truffles to give the mousse depth, even amid its airy texture. The star of any charcuterie board in the tri-state area.

EACH OF THESE TUNAS SHIPS

40 Ortiz Tuna from the Bay of Biscay 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 com plete opposite of the culinary spectrum. Tuna in tins, especially these from the fourth-gen eration 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 fla vor, silky texture, and lingering sweetness.

The number one ingredient in this thick, concentrated sauce from Calabria is basil, but it owes its eponymous red color to plenty of sun dried tomatoes. The flavor of the basil and tomatoes coming together is like a hot, sunny sum mer day in a jar. The flavor is intense, so a thin smear on a slice of toasty crusted bread will go a long way. To dress a dish of pasta, thin the pesto out with a bit of the starchy pasta cooking water to make a creamy sauce. Or try a dollop over chicken, beef, or roasted vegetables.

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. Each shape comes in a 500 g bag.

Giorgio Cravero’s family has been aging Parmigiano Reggiano in Bra, Italy since 1855. He focuses on soft, sweet flavors, the kind of Par mesan you want to eat all on its own (though it’s excellent for grating over pasta, too). The cheese we buy comes exclusively from the San Pietro dairy, located high in the hills above Modena. The diverse herbs and grasses at that high altitude makes for especially flavorful milk, which in turn makes for especially flavorful cheese.

Trillium Cheese & Italian Wild Cherries

Cheese alone is good. Cheese plus perfectly-picked pairings is terrific. We pulled some of our favorite wheels out of our cheese cave and tasted them with dozens of possible pairings (tough job, I know!) to find the cream of the crop. These are pairings that are more than the sum of their parts: together, they sing.

C-COM comté by the pound $37.50 P-WCB 7.2 oz box biscuits $9.50

From Tulip Tree Creamery in Indiana, Trillium is a soft, triple cream cheese that stands out. Made with pasteurized cow’s milk from a nearby farm, the texture is silky and luscious and the flavor is buttery soft, ultra rich and gently sweet. And to gild the lily, try a wedge alongside a few Italian wild cherries. Pitted and preserved in a simple syrup, the cherries retain their fresh tang and make a stunning counterpoint to the cheese.

Comte from Fort St. Antoine & Effie's Walnut Cranberry Biscuits France’s most renowned mountain cheese, our Comté is selected for us by Essex Street Cheese Co. from the caves of legendary affineur Maison Marcel Petite. Fudgy texture, well balanced, never bitey flavor, with a buttery, hazelnut taste that grows on the tongue and slowly expands to fill your entire mouth. Mountain cheeses like Comté are a natural pair for earthy, nutty sweets, like walnuts or fruit—or, in the case of Effie’s exceptional Walnut, Cranberry, & Fennel Seed Biscuits, both. These crackers were made specifically to pair with cheese, and it’s hard to find a much more perfect match than Comté.

This version, from Underground Meats in Madison, Wisconsin, uses local, humanely-raised pork and beef to make a soft, sweet, tangy, slightly smoky sausage that will be the first thing to disappear on a party platter, guaranteed.

In Spanish, tapas sort of means snacks, but that’s an inexact translation. In Spain, 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 with a glass of crisp wine.

The inspiration comes from a storied, traditional farmer’s lunch of bread, cheese, and onions, eaten out in the field. These days, it’s common to add ham, pickles, or salad to fill out the meal.

Lavender Honey from Provence Bees scour the delicate lavender blossoms on the hillsides of Provence to produce this perfectly perfumed, richly flavored honey. So good you’ll want to eat it by the spoonful. The honey is opaque, the color of custard cream. It’s mesmerizing. It seems to glow from within and pours like melted butter or spun sugar. Pop off the top, and you’ll be hit by the perfume. Each whiff is like the start of another good year in Provence.

Galician cockles—berberechos, in Spanish—are tiny, coveted clams, hand shucked and tinned in simple brine. The amount of handwork to get this done is extraor dinary, and the care taken is evident as soon as you open the tin. The placement of each clam, the wonderful sweet sea aroma and the flavor and texture—ocean sweet, meaty, tender and succulent—are clearly a labor of love. This is the kind of tinned seafood that you find almost nowhere besides Spain, where it’s considered a delicacy. It may take some time to wrap your head around that idea, or wrap your wallet around the price, but if you know someone who loves special fishes, this is definitely worth splurging on. Just open the tin and serve, like it’s done at the best Barcelona tapas bars.

These are the vinegars about which legends have been woven. Aged in wood for ten, twenty, or a hundred years or more. Over the years the vinegar is shifted from one type of wood to the next. Cherry, chestnut, oak and mulberry all leave their imprint on the flavor of the vinegar. The result is an almost unbelievable concentration of sweetsour flavor in a dense, intense, brown-black vinegar that hints of berries, grapes, vanilla. Only a tiny amount is released each year, in elegant glass flasks. Let loose a few drops on ripe strawberries fresh from the market or over rich roasted meats.

I Lecci Olive Oil Lake Garda is the northernmost point on the Italian map where you can make olive oil. Although the area is in the foothills of the Alps, the microclimate around the lake allows olive trees to thrive and bear fruit. This oil is made by Antonio Bres cia, who only produces about 2,000 bottles a year. The aroma is grassy and hints at pepper, like arugula. The oil is incredibly creamy in the mouth. The flavor starts off smooth and buttery, then a green, bitter wave of flavor takes over. The peppery finish grows and grows for a long time. Outstanding on vegetables and fish.

Roasted Golden Sesame Oil Wadaman, a fifth generation company based in Osaka, Japan, has spent over 130 years mastering sesame seeds. Each variety is treated separately, from the mild white seeds to the rich black ones, to truly capture each distinctive flavor. For this deep amber-colored oil, golden sesame seeds are carefully roasted to enhance the toasty aroma without compromising the delicate, nutty sesame flavor. Roasting is such a criti cal step that Etsuji Wada, the owner of the company, has been personally responsible for this process for over 40 years. Use a drizzle of this liquid gold as a finishing touch at the end of cooking and savor the complexities.

Iberico de Bellota Cured Ham & Pork Loin Stories have it that in Spain, even when a family is down on their luck, there’s always money for ham. The crème de la crème in ham-crazy Spain is Jamón Ibérico de Bellota, the cured ham made from black Iberian pigs fed a diet of acorns (bellotas). The acorn diet has a magical effect on the meat, creating fat that melts in your mouth in a surreal, earthy, super delicious way. This is the pinnacle of ham—and its price is at the pinnacle too. The whole, bone in ham is unsmoked, cured for 24–30 months, it’s something we should all expe rience at least once in our short carnivorous lives. For a somewhat smaller commitment, the Ibérico de Bellota cured loin (lomo in Spanish) is coated with barely-peppery paprika and riddled with fat: tiny, creamy white flecks among the rosy flesh. It’s astonishingly good to eat and will last months refrigerated.

Pastrami is corned beef’s spicy cousin. The fatty navel cut is brined cured with a load of spices like black pepper and clove. Then the pastrami is smoked with hickory, making for incredible depth of flavor.

It doesn’t get more classic then the knish: a Jewish pastry stuffed with savory filling wrapped in flaky, buttery dough. Originating in Eastern Europe, the knish came to America with the Ashkenazi Jewish immigrants who settled in cities like New York around the turn of the 20th cen tury. We’ve been making them at Zingerman’s Deli since we opened our doors in 1982. The inside is made of mashed Yukon Gold potatoes, onions, and herbs. The outside is a tender, flaky, handmade crust crafted from fresh farm cheese from Zingerman’s Creamery. Ready to eat, cold or hot. We like ours served hot with a side of good mustard. Heating instructions included.

Like eating lobster in Maine, Michiganders enjoy whitefish in all its splendor when we head “up north” for vacation. This smooth, creamy version from the tiny fishing village of Leland (aka Fishtown) is my favorite. We worked with the maker, Lori LaClair, to come up with a recipe we all think highlights the flavor of the fish and the art of the smoke. Made with fresh caught fillets of whitefish straight out of Lake Michigan, this spread is the perfect accompaniment with crackers, some fresh (or dried) cherries, and a crisp glass of cool wine.

Like bread pudding made with pasta instead of bread, our kugel is made with egg noodles, farm cheese from Zingerman’s Creamery, plenty of plump Red Flame raisins, plus a generous dose of real vanilla. Everything is blended together and baked to a golden brown. Great for breakfast, lunch, dessert or really any time you just want something good to eat. Great cold. Even better warmed up.

Hebel Halva Halva is a staple around the Mediterranean and at Jewish delis in the states. It’s a confection made of ground sesame seeds—AKA tahini—plus sugar and extra flavorings. The result is this ethereal, airy, nutty, candyfloss-like paste that’s spreadable or spoon able or sliceable and just delicious. This take on the classic comes from Hebel & Co. in Los Angeles. We offer two flavors. The first is chock full of toasty pistachios and nigella seeds, a complex, earthy spice that’s a cross between a caraway seed and black pepper. The second is double chocolate: made with organic dark chocolate, the result is nutty and super chocolatey with a notably creamy texture. Both are Kosher.

Made for decades by the sisters of St. Benedict Monastery of Ferdinand, Indiana. Springerle cookies originated in the Swabia region of southwestern Germany. Images and icons are pressed into the dough before baking, and then the dough is allowed to dry for up to eighteen hours. That extra time drying gives the cookie a hearty texture. They have a slight anise flavor without being overly sweet. Traditionally served for Christmas, they’re great for dipping in coffee or to please the lovers of old world flavors.

Sandy Lee fell in love with lebkuchen, the traditional German Christmas cookie, while living in Berlin. 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 finished cookies are hand glazed and studded with almonds (classic variety) or cloaked in dark choc olate. Each tin includes three classic and two chocolate cookies. 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. The tin, with foxes walking through a snowy forest scene, will be a keepsake for years to come.

These once unheard of figs have become one of our most popular gifts. Tender, sweeter than usual Parito figs are dried, then given a double dose of chocolate: first they’re stuffed with chocolate ganache, then they’re enrobed in a layer of 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. The gift tin (illus trated above) makes a gorgeous keepsake. Choose from a few different flavors.

Restaurateur George Lang called Hungary “the land of ten million pastry lovers.” Given the entire population is just shy of that he may have been overstating it—but not by much. Budapest is stuffed with bakeries and drop-dead gorgeous coffeeshops serving up all sorts of confections, cakes, cook ies and strudels. You can’t walk down a block without stumbling over a sweet. One of my favorites is Beigli (pronounced bay-glee), Hungary’s take on a sweet nut roll, made by rolling a thin layer of sweet yeasted dough around a filling of ground walnuts. It's been a Hungarian Christmas staple since the 1800s, and for a handful of years now, the master bakers at Zingerman’s Bakehouse have been making it for Christmas in Ann Arbor, too.

Once a year olive oil gifts

We’ve sold Marina Colonna’s oils for decades (find her Peranzana oil on page 36). New this year, we’ve brought her special edition Molensis olive oil to our shelves just for the holidays. The gorgeous amphora bottle holds a blend of olives from Marina's estate, each selected to produce an oil that's fruity and grassy with a bit of a peppery, fiery kick that builds as it lingers in the finish. Dark, elegant, slightly mysterious looking, beautiful, this bottle of oil looks like it should be presented and stored in red velvet and tied with satin ribbon. An impressive gift for the olive oil lover on your list. O-HCA 750 ml $55 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

TyPuglia Olive Oil

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