Meat & make it beautiful

Tips for Building a Gorgeous Cheese Board Cheese boards can be as gorgeous as they are delicious. Take the board on the cover of this catalog, which was made by Brie Hurd of The Cheese Shop of Salem (find more of her cheese board artistry on Instagram @thecheeseshopofsalem). With a mix of cheeses and accompaniments from crackers to meat to fruit, it’s a stunner.

To make your own show stopping cheese board at home, Brie has a few tips:

1.

Choose cheeses that offer variety: different textures, different milk types, different colors.

Put them on the board first, then fill in the rest of the space with accompaniments to make it look abundant.

2.

Make it colorful. Pink salami, brown crackers, red berries, green olives, orange jams...they make the board sparkle.

Position similar looking items (like green olives and green grapes) in opposite regions to draw the eye around.

3.

Play with the pairings.

Go for classics like crackers, pickles, and figs, or go wild with whatever you’ve got in the pantry or fridge: fresh veggies, mustards, honeys, and pretty much anything else you like is fair game!

4.

Take the first bite.

When the board looks too perfect, folks may be shy about getting started. Pre-cut a few slices of each cheese to encourage people to dive in, and include a knife for each cheese to make it easy for folks to serve themselves.

Build your own ultimate meat & cheese spread. Select cheeses—we’ll hand cut each half-pound wedge to order—and cured meats to pair with them. Then choose what you want to include with all those proteins: tangy Sourdough Bread, artisan Crackers, or a full party spread with Sesame Semolina Bread, Crackers, Cornichon Pickles and Virginia Diner Peanuts.

Essex Manchego is one of Spain’s only farmhouse, raw milk, unwaxed Manchegos. Unwaxed refers to the rind and for the most part, cheese rinds seem to be one of those cheesemaking details that only get the attention of cheesemongers and makers. They have a tremendous effect on flavor and texture, though. The active cultures in cheese cause it to breathe. When the rind is waxed it holds those effects in, often resulting in off-flavored, harsh tasting cheeses. Unwaxed Essex Manchego, on the other hand, has a lovely, dry crumble and never tastes bitey. It goes down smooth, with the unmistakable sweetness of sheep’s milk and a long savory finish that pairs well with almonds and plums and, of course, Spanish ham.

C-EMA by the pound $40

France’s most renowned mountain cheese, selected for us by Essex Street Cheese Co. from the caves of legendary affineur Maison Marcel Petite. Our classic take on Comté is aged for about a year. It has a fudgy texture and a well balanced, never bitey flavor, with a buttery, hazelnut taste that grows on the tongue and slowly expands to fill your entire mouth. Or new this year, just for the holidays, the extra aged version spends about 18 months maturing. The extra time intensifies the flavor, giving it a slightly firmer texture and a flavor that pushes toward more powerful, savory notes.

aged by the master

farmstead beauty

Giorgio Cravero’s family has been aging Parmigiano Reggiano in Bra, Italy since 1855. He focuses on soft, sweet flavors, the kind of Parmesan 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—a quality noted by this Parmesan’s rare designation as a Prodotto di Montagna.

C-VER by the pound $35

Pleasant Ridge Reserve is made from the milk of a single herd of cows that graze on the rolling Wisconsin hillsides. After aging for a year, the cheese is like a European mountain cheese: fruity in an apple-y sort of way—rich, deep and sweet. Production is very small—about 6,000 wheels a year. We work closely with maker Andy Hatch, tasting together to select specific days of cheese to pick the most flavorful of the bunch.

gouda milkshake

pretty as a flower

From the southern end of the Netherlands in the province of Brabant, home to many of the country's goat farms (goat's milk cheese is actually more popular than cow's milk in the Netherlands these days). Made from the pasteurized milk of Saanen goats and aged for about six months, the Brabander goat gouda is fresh tasting, with notes of caramel and cream.

Or for something really special, every year Betty Koster of Amsterdam’s L’Amuse cheese shops sets aside a small trove this cheese to age for another six months for about a year total. This Brabander Reserve amplifies all flavors: more caramel, more milkshake richness, more joy. When it’s gone, that’s it till next fall. A once-a-year treat.

C-GGO classic by the pound $37 C-BTY reserve by the pound $45

Wanna get noticed in the cheese world? Cover your wheel in a vibrant, colorful potpourri of dried flowers like marigold, rose petals, chervil and lavender. Then add some of the local herbs and spices that grow in the land surrounding the farm.

The eye-catching covering isn’t just for show. It helps balance the big, bold, nutty, notes of the cheese inside with a soft, herby sweetness. I make it sound like there’s a battle going on between the flavors but that’s not so. It’s really well balanced and easy to eat. The cover will draw your attention but it’s the flavor inside that will keep people coming back for more again and again.

under wraps

dip & slather

Cheddar was originally wrapped in cloth, not dipped in wax. To my mind it has a far more compelling flavor that way. Cheddars aged in cloth have a complexity and length of flavor that’s unmatched by wax. The wheels we get are made by Cabot Farms in Vermont, and then aged at Jasper Hill Cellars. The Jasper Hill team specially selects wheels just for us. The rinds are brushed with lard, and they have a beefy, brothy flavor. Aged at least 9 months, it’s a sturdy cheese with a complex, lingering finish you can’t shake. A great cheese for serious snacking or on a world class cheese platter.

C-CCC by the pound $38

There are probably more versions of pimento cheese spread in the South than there are grandmothers. The classic version from Zingerman’s Creamery is a salty/tangy/spicy mix of Cabot Vermont Cheddar, Hellmann’s mayo, pimento peppers and spices. At the table they can assume as many high flavor food jobs as you can dream up: on a burger, in some mac and cheese, or just simply swept up to your mouth on celery ribs.

Our delicious German style holiday cake is a long-standing 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 coffee cake as a great afternoon snack cake. Each Stollen comes gift bagged, serves 6–8 and, barring extensive snacking, lasts for weeks.

ever-loving evergreen Douglas Fir Shortbread Cookies

Peppermint and gingerbread are classic holiday treats, but in December they tend to be as prevalent as that Mariah Carey song. For those looking for something a little off the beaten flavor path, these woodsy, earthy Douglas fir shortbread cookies are sure to keep you on the nice list. Each bite is buttery and luscious. The savory, rosemary-like fragrance is balanced in flavor by lemony sweetness and a bit of a bright, spicy edge from fruity pink peppercorns. Twelve triangles are packed in a gift-worthy tin and are the perfect size to nibble on with coffee or tea.

A spicy sweet German tradition Lebkuchen

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 chocolate. 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.

Holiday Fruits luscious fruit in chocolate Clementines in Chocolate from Italy

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.

flight of the figs Roasted Figs from Italy

Franco Rao’s figs are an eagerly awaited seasonal crop. Prized dotato figs are picked by hand when they are fully ripe, beginning to dry and concentrate.

They’re caramelized over twenty-four hours in a low-temperature oven, a step almost no one takes because it adds extra time and expense. The impact on the flavor, however, is immense. These figs have a roasted, caramel-sweet flavor that’s irresistible. Hand packed in a ball the size of an apple, wrapped in fig leaves and twine. It’s a traditional way to store them in southern Italy, rustic and attractive. They are great with yogurt, with cheese, with ice cream. As a gift for someone with an eye for rustic foods with real flavor, you won’t find much better. Very limited quantities.

fruit cakes

Full disclosure: the price on these fruit cakes 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 Wisconsin from rare citrus that he 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 Fruit Cake

Dark Rare Citrus Fruit Cake

Vintage Fruit Cakes

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.

Robert starts by candying exotic citrus like Buddha’s hand citron, bergamot, blood orange, Texas lemon and white grapefruit peels. He adds hazelnuts, pecans, walnuts, dark raisins, prunes, black figs soaked in Poire William eau de vie—oh yes, there’s more—dates, cardamom, cinnamon, nutmeg, 10-year-old Port, and candied ginger.

Then, wait for it...he soaks it all in bourbon. Comes in a muslin bag.

P-RLD 1 lb, 6 inches long, serves 8–10 $75

If you already consider fruit cake a joke the idea of a vintage fruit cake must seem like a real marketer’s whopper. Selling last year’s fruit cakes? Yes, that’s exactly what we’re doing. Over the last year the flavor has developed, expanded and gotten more complex. Like a wine that was fun while young, more serious now that its aged, these fruit cakes have become a real aficionado's treat. Gift boxed.

Marzipan Gnomes

Marzipan, the firm, chewy confection made from almonds and sugar with a floral almond flavor, can be colored and shaped to resemble just about anything.

Take these gnomes, for instance: adorable with their tall red hats, big noses, and long, white beards, they’re every bit as scrumptious as they are cute. They’re a fun treat for little kids and grown up kids alike.

Spanish Chocolate Dipped Figs

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 (illustrated above) makes a gorgeous keepsake. Choose from a few different flavors.

second to nun Springerle Cookies

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.

3 HOT COCOAS & A COFFEE Barcelona’s beverage

Enric Rovira's Drinking Chocolate from Spain 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.

Cinnful 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.

ZINGERMAN’S BAKE Zingerman’s Bakehouse first fired up their ovens in 1992 with one goal: to bake full-flavored loaves for the sandwiches served at Zingerman’s Deli. Almost overnight, customers were beating down the bakery’s doors to buy bread. That demand remains.

Paesano

Farm

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 $10

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 $20 B-FRM-LOF 1½ lb loaf $11

Sourdough

Jewish Rye

Made with only organic wheat flour, water, sea salt, and our nearly three-decade old sourdough starter—and plenty of time. Making 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-SDR 1½ lb round $10

This is rye like my grandparents ate in Eastern 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.

B-RYE 1½ lb loaf $10

roadhouse bread

Sesame Semolina

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.

B-ROA 1½ lb loaf $12

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.

HOUSE Breads 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.

Pecan Raisin

Craquelin

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 $20

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 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.

chocolate sourdough

Chocolate cherry

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 $13

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.

parmesan pepper

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 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.

B-PEP 1 lb loaf $20

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 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.

pigs can fly Bacon Club

most p ular op

Six to date. That’s how many vegetarians I know who’ve fallen off the bandwagon thanks to bacon. I’m not using that as a proposal for torturing anyone. I’m just saying any food that’s so good it can break a strong will has to be worth trying. Our bacon club has been lauded by chefs, sous chefs, home chefs, pork-o-philes and bacon freaks all over America. It’s our most popular food club by far and it’s not just the novelty of bacon-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.

ancient trade

Red Pepper Truffles from Sicily Bonajuto has been making chocolate in the baroque Sicilian town of Modica since 1880. By that time Gustav Lindt had perfected conching, the process that makes chocolate smooth. Nearly every European chocolate maker adopted it. Bonajuto didn’t. They continued to make unconched chocolate, the texture crunchy in comparison. Nowadays that texture has come somewhat back in fashion. Here, you can experience it as it was and always has been. This gift box has bite sized truffles spiced with just a hint of red pepper, another typical addition to 19th century chocolate. An outstanding gift for a chocolate aficionado—or history buff.

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).

50 Bucks farmstead confection

Goat's Milk Caramels from Vermont 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.

a candy by any other name would taste as delicious Dark Chocolate Honeycomb Candy

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.

A pair of Pistachio Prizes Pistachio Vanilla Brittle

Turkish Delight with Double Roasted Pistachios

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 Sweetdragon Baking Company have mastered the tricky twin aspects of brittle, flavor and texture. Made with organic pistachios, vanilla from Madagascar and cane sugar, the flavor is sweet, light and nutty. The texture, put simply, doesn’t stick in your teeth.

P-PVB 5 oz box $22

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.

Alziari 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.

Peranzana Olive Oil 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.

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.”

Agrumato Lemon Oil 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.

vinegars aged balsamic 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, her husband Marino Tintori, and their son Simone 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.

Taste them All

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.

Pastured Chops

Red Wattle Pork Chops

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.

Cory Carman’s Grass Fed Beef 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.

Butcher’s Favorite “Women are leading the trend of sustainable ranching and raising grass-fed breeds of cattle in humane, ecological ways....

Cory Carman...has parlayed her parents’ prairie into a leading local provider of grass-fed beef.”

AMY CHOZICK, THE NEW YORK TIMES

Bavette Steaks from Carman Ranch 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.

Black Truffle Mousse

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 complexity 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.

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 complete opposite of the culinary spectrum. Tuna in tins, especially these from the fourth-generation family firm Ortiz, is one of the jewels in Spain's culinary crown. Ortiz's fish are all line caught—not netted—hand filleted at sea and quickly tinned by hand in good olive oil.

The olive oil is key. It adds flavor and makes the texture silky over time, unlike water, which tends to leach flavors from the fish. We went to Spain and selected a single great batch of Bonito loin, our best seller, for fullness of flavor, silky texture, and lingering sweetness.

Favorites from France LET THEM EAT CAKE

Pain d’Epices Honey Cake From France Though “pain d’épices” translates from French literally as “spice bread,” it’s more commonly called “honey cake” in English. The name is fitting. This loaf-shaped cake, made in Burgundy in the heart of France’s honey cake homeland, is sweetened with a generous dose of honey, which balances beautifully with the tangy rye-based cake.

Lightly spiced with ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and more, the cake is floral and delicate.

Perfect alongside tea or as a lighter dessert option. Gift boxed.

Prizes from Portugal honey drop

Honey Figs from Portugal Pingo de mel figs—”honey drop”–are so named because they drip sugar when they’re ripe. Preserved in sugar by the same nuns who make our Sugarplums (facing page). Hold one up to the light. First, notice it’s improbably heavy. Next, look how it glows from within. The texture is like a candied chestnut but not as chalky.

The flavor opens up after you taste, the dominant note of caramelized honey goes on and on, lingering long after you swallow. I’ve never had anything like this. I’m pretty sure eating one made me high.

Broyé du Poitou Almond Shortbread

This giant, dinner plate-sized, buttery shortbread cookie is traditionally served in western France around the city of Poitiers during celebrations and holidays. Over the centuries, the bakers of Potiers have mastered shortbread that crumbles and crunches while still having a rich, sweet flavor, accented with a sprinkling of toasty slivered almonds on top.

The sturdy texture is key to the theater of serving this sweet. Set it in the middle of the table and give it a punch or hit it with a hammer. Seriously. The perfectly positioned strike breaks the dessert into a variety of pieces, allowing revelers and snackers alike to pick the size that suits them. Serve with coffee and tea when there’s no party to plan.

There’s smooth, then there’s smooth. This is that one. Luscious, rich, indulgent, whatever else Roget suggests you can apply to these ganache-filled plums. From the storybook castle Château de Born in southwestern France, where they’ve grown plums for centuries. During the harvest, they take the fruit, dry it just long enough to concentrate the sweetness, then remove the pit and replace it with a ganache made from more of their own plums and silky Belgian chocolate. Preciously packed in a handsome red box. Julia Child would approve.

Chocolate Covered Walnuts From the Périgord region of southwestern France, where walnut orchards blanket the landscape and the locals make walnut everything, from cakes to wine to salami. Here, the walnuts are toasted, then caramelized, then enveloped in a coat of dark chocolate as thick as the walnut itself, then dusted with cocoa powder. The effect is more than just an accretion of flavor, it’s like an explosion. They’re rich, nutty, so chocolatey, a little crunchy and yet they melt in your mouth. Twelve perfect nuts per box makes enough to share. Or not.

Figs & Walnuts from Portugal

Sugarplums from Portugal

Dried fruits and nuts are a classic Portuguese combination, an end-of-dinner staple you’ll enjoy in homes from the Algarve to the Douro.

This classic is created with extreme care by a woman-led, woman-run company headed by the indominatable Dona Florentina, 94 years young and still kicking fig. Her farm brushes the banks of the Tejo river in central Portugal. There they grow walnuts and the figs — the prized honey drop “pingo de mel” variety, harvested late in summer when it’s so absurdly decadent a dew drop of honey sweet nectar drips from its eye. The figs are dried, paired with their walnut mate, the rest is history. Keep a pack stashed for an after dinner treat with friends who you’ve missed so much you don’t want the night to end.

P-FGN 180 g box, 8 figs & nuts $25

Straight from the rhymes of The Night Before Christmas, Greengage plums are harvested in Portugal in late summer then submerged in sugar syrup, where they rest for six weeks, slowly absorbing sweetness.

Finally, they’re laid in the sun to dry. The long, complex process makes a candied plum. Slightly sweet, green and fuzzy on the outside like a peach. They have a pit, so watch out. Remarkably, the texture is firm, like a fruit you’ve just picked. A venerable British Christmas tradition.

Cremini, that’s a mushroom, right? Usually yes, but not in this case. In the Piedmont region of northern Italy, a “cremino”(plural cremini) is an ultra-smooth cube of chocolate and hazelnut.

D. Barbero Torrone Nougat from Piedmont Davide Barbero’s family has been making torrone hazelnut nougat— what I call Italian brittle—for five generations, since 1883 in the town of Asti. Neither the history nor repetitiveness seems to dull his passion. When you ask him about torrone his eyes light up and he talks in fast, clipped English. “We don’t kill the torrone! Industrial makers use no egg whites and they crank out a batch in an hour. They beat the mixture fast and use lots of pressure.

Ours takes seven hours. We break for lunch! All of this makes our texture crumbly, not hard and tough. Here, take a bite, you can taste.” First off, you gotta love the fact that he mentions lunch as a factor in how they make better food. More importantly, he’s spot on, especially when it comes to texture. Barbero torrone is gently crumbly, in a shattering, delicate way. Spiked with loads of famous Piedmontese hazelnuts that are roasted in house every morning, then hand selected and folded into the nougat. In their classic Northern Italian graphic-designed tin they make great gifts. Or the 8-inch long bar, enrobed in chocolate, makes a great stocking stuffer.

Colston Bassett Stilton Gift Set

Stilton has been the traditional Christmas cheese of England for centuries. Its deep, warm flavor pacifies the chill of December. Early winter also happens to be the time of the year it tastes best, the lush summer milk cheeses having ripened for half a year or so. This fall we’ve brought in our usual stock of forty-five wheels from Neal’s Yard Dairy, London’s great cheese house. Neal’s Yard partner Jason Hinds and his team have driven up the M-11 to Colston Bassett to select wheels that have the buttery blue flavor and coveted spreadable texture we all crave. Order it by the pound, or get it boxed with stupendous, traditional pairings: our colorful, cartooned gift box includes a one pound wedge of Stilton, Spiced Plum Preserves from Blake Hill Farm in Vermont, and Caramelized Walnuts from France’s walnut-crazy Périgord region.

the worst thing britian ever invented Christmas Pudding

From the culture that brought you fruit cake comes another muchscorned holiday food tradition: Christmas pudding. But just as there’s good fruitcake and disappointing fruitcake, the same goes for pudding.

This particularly good pudding comes to us from Thursday Cottage in Essex. They craft it in the classic Victorian 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, citrus peels, cinnamon, cloves, ginger, another touch of Cognac, and just enough flour to hold it all together. 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.

your new holiday Ham Heritage Hams from Indiana

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.

Jewish Deli Classics made at zingerman’s deli Whole noodle kit & caboodle Noodle Kugel

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.

pillowy potato pastry Potato Knish

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 century. 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.

from zingerman’s bakehouse Chocolate Raisin Babka Babka is a sweet loaf, both fluffy and rich, kind of like a light textured coffee cake with a dense filling swirled throughout. In the late 19th Century, babka was made with leftover challah bread dough wrapped around nuts or jam. Now the master bakers at Zingerman’s Bakehouse have given babka a flavor update worthy of the new millennium. Rich with butter, swirling with chocolate and cinnamon, and studded with golden sultana raisins, our babka bursts with chocolatey sweetness.

Wrapped in tissue and gift boxed.

Rugelach Rugelach are the royalty of Jewish baked goods: tender, flaky, cream cheese pastry, dressed in cinnamon sugar.

The most popular is half classic toasted walnut with currants, and half apricot. For chocoholics, there’s half chocolate, half raspberry. Or for the fruit fiends, try half apricot, half raspberry.

Then the pastrami is smoked with hickory, making for incredible depth of flavor.

ceramic stunners 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.

Starry nights

Marzipan Stars of David Finding unique gifts for each day of Hanukkah can be a challenge, but pencil these marzipan treats into at least one of those days. Marzipan is a firm, chewy confection of almond and sugar with a sweet, floral almond flavor. These confections were made right here in Ann Arbor, where the marzipan masters at Marzipops have shaped the candy into Stars of David and hand painted them with blue and silver stripes. A great gift for kids or to share during the eight days of fun. Kosher.

cake of light

Zingerman’s Olive Oil Cake Made with toasted almonds, lemon zest—nearly a whole lemon’s worth per cake—and lots of excellent extra virgin olive oil. It’s moist, tender, with a flavor that lingers long after the slice is sent south. The olive oil makes the cake retain more moisture than butter so it has a lovely, soft texture that stays that way for days and days.

The oil also makes the cake an appropriate symbolic dish for Hanukkah. We send each cake safely and attractively packaged in our cartoon box or handsome wooden crate.

Serves 5–7.

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 spoonable 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.

Thanksgiving’s Bird a stunning centerpiece

Heritage Turkeys from Judd Culver

TURKEY ORDER DETAILS Order now, we’ll ship to arrive the week before Thanksgiving.

Arrives frozen, may take a couple days to thaw.

We include all care and cooking instructions.

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 mention.

Not so with these 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.
