Chocolate Covered Fruit Pebbles

13th anNual flight of the figs Roasted Calabrian Figs 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.

From just outside of Athens in the port city of Piraeus, Greece, comes my pick for the most playful confection of the new year. These candied fruits are enrobed in chocolate, coated in a crackling candy shell, then decorated to look like colorful pebbles. They’re adorable enough to catch your eye, but then delicious enough to eat them anyway. We have three fruits: Kumquats are a small, aromatic citrus, about the size of the tip of my thumb.

The whole fruit, peel and all, is candied until the center is soft and gooey but the bright, tart citrus flavor still shines through the dark chocolate and orange-sherbert colored candy shell.

Amarena cherries are small and dark with a superb sweet-tart balance. The whole, pitted cherries are practically juicy and pack a punch of tart cherry flavor to contrast with the smooth, dark chocolate and toothpaste green candy shell.

Lemon features pieces of candied lemon. They bring a lemonade brightness to the sweet milk chocolate coating and bright yellow and pale green candy shells.

Zingerman’s Peranzana extra virgin olive oil from Marina Colonna in Italy is assertive and peppery. Rioja red wine vinegar from Spain is naturally converted, barrel aged for four years and has mellow, deep flavors of raspberries and red grapes. Independent of each other, they have a hundred uses in the kitchen. Bound together in a vinaigrette, they make salads and just-cooked vegetables outstanding. They come side by side in our cartooned gift box with my classic, foolproof vinaigrette recipe.

Épices de Cru Grand Spice Set & Book 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, enough to keep a curious cook busy for months. It comes with a 143-page book featuring 60 of their well-tested recipes. 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.

Zingerman’s Babkas

Babka is a sweet loaf, both fluffy and rich, kind of like a light textured coffee cake with a dense filling swirled throughout. The master bakers at Zingerman’s Bakehouse make two flavors of babka. The first is swirling with chocolate and cinnamon and studded with juicy golden sultana raisins. The second is balanced between sweet and tart, loaded with earthy dates, luscious figs and bright pomegranate molasses swirled throughout. If you have memories of dry, lifeless babka from your childhood, these’ll make you forget ‘em forever. Wrapped in tissue and gift boxed, each serves 6-8.

For the person who owns more than one Zingerman’s t-shirt. Who assumes the identity of a hotel concierge when taking newbies to the Delicatessen. Who knows what time Farm Bread is coming out of the oven. Cement your status as the most clever, generous friend anyone could have by sending them the soul of Zingerman’s. The Reuben has been our top-selling sandwich since our doors opened on the corner of Detroit Street and Kingsley in 1982. It’s an eye-watering combination of corned beef, Swiss, homemade Russian dressing and sauerkraut that, when properly prepared at home, is a show-stopping meal. Some assembly is required, but considering it has been known to make adults weep in appreciation, I’d say it’s worth it.

Angelina A stunning jewelbox, Angelina’s salon de thé is in the heart of Paris on the rue de Rivoli, just down the street from the Louvre. You can go there to appreciate the ornate, fin de siècle decor and eat a pastry or a sip an espresso. But you’d be missing the point. Angelina serves the best hot chocolate in Paris. And I’m ready to throw down and say it—it’s the best hot chocolate in the world.

When you order at Angelina, you don’t just get a mug of cocoa. You get a personal-sized ceramic pitcher of steaming molten chocolate, paired with a fist-sized dollop of freshly whipped cream.

You pour your own chocolate. You stir in your own cream. You make the drink as decadent as you can bear. You overindulge.

Even without a dollop of whipped cream, the chocolate is a stunner. Silky, ultra creamy, super chocolatey with the barest bitter edge to cut through the sweetness. My tasting notes from Angelina read: “like drinking molten gold, if gold tasted like complex and intensely satisfying homemade brownie batter.” Sipping it is an event to remember. Finishing it all is a feat.

If a quick jaunt to Paris for a cup of hot chocolate isn’t an option, we’ve got the next best thing.

Bring Angelina home. Here are three ways to get your fix:

luscious fruit in chocolate Clementines in Chocolate

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.

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

A unique chocolate served with immense style. Cunesi are rum and chocolate truffles, each massaged until it’s as smooth as silk. A single truffle just barely fits in your mouth. The chocolate pops and cracks and the rum seeps through and down your throat like molten lava. From Venchi, our long-time supplier of Hazelnut and Chocolate Spread (online) from Turin.

Italian Sea Salt Chocolate and Hazelnut Cremini Truffles Cremini, that’s a mushroom, right? Usually yes, but not in this case. In the Piedmont region of northern Italy, a “cremino” (plural cremini) is an ultra-smooth cube of chocolate and hazelnut, the luscious mixture Italians call “gianduja.” You’ll find them in the cases of every fancy chocolate shop.

These cremini come from Guido Gobino, a bean to bar chocolatier in Torino, Italy, the heart of gianduja country. The cremini are super silky smooth, each dotted with a few toasty hazelnut crumbles. The chocolate gets just a bit of an edge from the addition of sea salt. Getting a box feels like winning the chocolate lottery.

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

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. Although traditionally intended to keep for months, I think these sweet, spicy, nutty treats will only last a few days (or hours!) at your house.

The tin, though, with foxes walking through a snowy forest scene with foxes, will be a keepsake for years to come.

Zingerman's Stollen

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. If you haven’t had stollen and wonder what all the fuss is about, just take a look at the ingredients: 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 wrapped in a muslin bag and nestled in a colorful gift box. It serves 6-8 and, barring extensive snacking, lasts for weeks.

Fruitcakes Full disclosure: the price on these fruitcakes may cause sticker shock. While England's national holiday cake has become a cheap industrial laughing stock, these are another species altogether. Crafted by Robert Lambert in California from rare citrus that he picks and candies himself. A slice cut thin while the cake is cool—I recommend serving it chilled—looks like a stained glass window and is a taste revelation.

Dark Rare Citrus Fruitcake

White Rare Citrus Fruitcake

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.

P-VTG white vintage $85 P-VLD dark vintage $85

For his Dark Fruit Cake, Robert starts by candying exotic citrus like Buddha’s hand citron, bergamot, blood orange, Texas lemon and white grapefruit peels.

He adds hazelnuts, pecans, walnuts, dark raisins, prunes, black figs soaked in Poire William eau de vie—oh yes, there’s more—dates, cardamom, cinnamon, nutmeg, 10-year-old Port, and candied ginger. Then, wait for it...he soaks it all in bourbon. Like everything Robert creates, these cakes are made by hand in small batches with an obsessive attention to detail. Comes wrapped in a muslin bag.

P-RLD 1 lb, 6 inches long, serves 8-10 $70

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. Robert says, “The recipe is British, Victorian era. It’s based on my grandmother Floria's cake, but instead of the store-bought glacéed fruits she used, I make my own candied fruit.” He chooses 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 wrapped in a muslin bag.

Christmas IN ITALY bold olive oil, bolder botTles

Puglian Olive Oils in Ceramic Bottles

Puglia, the heel of Italy’s boot, is known in Italy for its rustic, rural beauty and beaches, and for being the birthplace of burrata cheese, crunchy taralli crackers (online), and the little ear-shaped pasta known as orecchiette. But I’m willing to bet that soon it’ll be known for something else: ceramics.

Specifically, gorgeous, hand-crafted ceramic bottles holding oustanding olive oils. We have two extra virgin Puglian olive oils, each made on a single estate using a single olive varietal: the local powerhouse Coratina, a coveted varietal for making grassy, bold, peppery oils.

The first oil comes to us from the estate of Elia Pellegrino. Called TyPuglia, it comes in a limited edition tomato red ceramic bottle, hand crafted in the studio of Elia’s friend, Michele Cataldo.

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

flight of vinegar Italian Balsamic Showcase You don’t have to be a balsamic sommelier to taste the difference between these amazing vinegars. As balsamics age, they go from being bright and tart to taking on a sweeter, more raisin-y flavor and a thicker, more syrupy texture. The young balsamics are better for vinaigrettes; the older ones are killer drizzled on cheese or berries. This collection of four bottles from our longtime source for balsamic, La Vecchia Dispensa in Modena, Italy, range in age from 10 to 30 years. Nestled in a beautiful box, they make a stunning gift.

italian hazelnut britTle D. Barbero Torrone Nougat from Piedmont David Barbero’s family has been making torrone hazelnut nougat—what I call Italian brittle—for five generations, since 1883 in the town of Asti. Neither the history nor repetitiveness seems to dull his passion. When you ask him about torrone his eyes light up and he talks in fast, clipped English. “We don’t kill the torrone!

Industrial makers use no egg whites and they crank out a batch in an hour. They beat the mixture fast and use lots of pressure. Ours takes seven hours. We break for lunch! All of this makes our texture crumbly, not hard and tough. Here, take a bite, you can taste.”

First off, you gotta love the fact that he mentions lunch as a factor in how they make better food. More importantly, he’s spot on, especially when it comes to texture. Barbero torrone is gently crumbly, in a shattering, delicate way.

Spiked with loads of famous Piedmontese hazelnuts that are roasted in house every morning, then hand selected and folded into the nougat. In their classic Northern Italian graphic-designed tin they make great gifts. Or the 8-inch long bar, enrobed in chocolate, makes a great stocking stuffer.

Panettoni

You know it's Christmas in Italy when the panettone start appearing in shop windows.

They're the fluffy, tall cakes that are seasoned with candied citrus and packaged as beautifully as a present for the Contessa. We’ve had great traditional Italian panettone every Christmas since our doors opened in 1982.

Traditional Panettone If Italy had to elect a national Christmas dessert, this would be the top candidate. The texture is as fluffy as a pillow, the candied citrus-studded dough peels off in strips like cotton candy. What you can’t finish after dinner makes fantastic French toast.

Made with loads of extra virgin olive oil that was pressed with southern Italian oranges, capturing the essential oils in the orange zest. Bright, clean orange flavor complements the fluffy, just-sweet-enough cake. Outstanding warmed and topped with a bit of fresh whipped cream.

cluster climax

Chocolate Covered Matzo Toffee A confection that’s greater than the sum of its parts. And it’s got a lot of parts.

Smooth Belgian chocolate, crunchy peanuts, crisp toasted rice, crackling bits of toffee and matzo—delicious.

Separately, the players in this chocolate covered cluster are darn good. Mixed together?

Forget it, they're amazing. From the Matzo Project in Brooklyn, the only folks I know who are daring to make matzo cool in a way it never, ever was.

gelt Grown up

Chanukah Gelt

The best tasting—and most authentic looking—gelt I’ve ever encountered. Gold and silver dusted disks (no foil wrapping here) from Veruca Chocolates in Chicago are formed to look like Judean coins circa 40 B.C. The real treasure is their flavor: dark chocolate with crunchy crystals of sea salt, an adult balance of sweet and savory. A great gift for every day of Chanukah. Kosher. Quantities limited.

Marzipan Stars of David

Marzipan is a chewy confection of almond, sugar and egg whites with a sweet, floral almond flavor.

These confections are made right here in Ann Arbor, where the marzipan masters at Marzipops shape the candy into Stars of David and hand paint them with blue and silver stripes. A pretty, tasty gift for Chanukah.

two terRific takes on halvah

Maple Halvah and Cardamom Orange Halvah

Most halvah out there is mass produced and not very good. Enter Victoria Wallins and her company, Halvah Heaven.

In small batches, she makes the best halvah I’ve ever tasted with a texture that’s light yet solid and melts on the tongue with flavors direct and lingering. The Maple is made with tahini and a healthy dose of Vermont maple syrup, giving it a dark, woody sort of sweetness. The Cardamom Orange tastes like a cup of chai tea, brightened with a gentle caress of orange oil.

Chop up the halvah and mix it with yogurt or Zingerman’s Olive Oil Cake oatmeal, or eat it straight up.

Made with toasted almonds, lemon zest— P-MPH 4 oz bag maple $10 nearly a whole lemon’s worth per cake—and P-CMH 4 oz bag cardamom orange $10 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE lots of excellent extra virgin olive oil.

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.

Zingerman’s Hot Cocoa

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. They come packed together in our fun, colorful cartoon gift box.

beTter with Age Vintage Tinned Fish

I’m not pulling your leg on this one. Tuna and sardines get better with age. It’s long been known amongst European a-fish-ionados that the most sumptuous sardines are those that have been allowed to mature and mellow for years before they’re eaten. During the aging period the fish and the olive oil they’re packed in meld together, making the sardines more tender and their flavor notably richer. The same goes for tuna. Here we send a colorful, under the sea themed box stuffed with three of our favorites: 2014 vintage Portuguese sardines, 2013 vintage Spanish bonito tuna loin, and 2016 vintage Spanish yellowfin tuna ventresca. A great gift for the fish fan in your life.

ancient trade Red Pepper Truffles

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.

the most popular cake we bake Sour Cream Coffee Cake

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 or two after delivery, wrapped, it’ll still be soft and scrumptious, melting in the mouths of a hungry office staff. Personally, I’ve never seen one withstand the onslaught of the hungry for more than an hour.

Gelato

Thick, creamy, elegant, luscious. Eating gelato is an event, a special occasion that borders on a religious experience for ice cream connoisseurs. At Zingerman’s Creamery, our gelato makers traveled to Italy to learn to make gelato from the masters. Then we made it our own with all-American flavors. We start with fresh milk from Calder Dairy—one of the last farmstead dairies in Michigan—and mix it with organic Demerara sugar and an array of other good ingredients to churn out this Italian-style ice cream with direct, intense flavors.

Freshly Milled Whole Grain Flours The latest new old innovation is here at Zingerman’s Bakehouse. Last fall, the team at Zingerman’s Bakehouse installed our own small stone mill. That's led to two major improvements.

First, we can work directly with local farmers to get heirloom grains straight from the source. Our rye now comes from the Breslin family in Ottawa, IL. Our soft white winter wheat comes from Ferris Organic Farms in Eaton Rapids, MI. We’ve got a half dozen more local grains, and there are more in the works all the time. We bring in the grains and grind them into flours ourselves.

Secondly, the flours we mill are truly whole grain.

Most “whole grain” flour in the US is actually processed like white flour, then has some of the bran added back in. It gives the flour a longer shelf life at the expense of nutrition and flavor. When we mill our own flour, we never separate out any part of it. And since we use the flour the same day we mill it, there’s no danger in shortening the shelf life.

We haven’t switched over to milling all of our own flour in house ourselves, yet. But month by month, we keep testing recipes for new breads and pastries, or to update classics we’ve made for years to make them even more flavorful. The result is ever bigger and better flavor, but don’t take my word for it. Try for yourself. You really can taste the difference.

grain to the GRINdsTONE Freshly Milled Bakery Gift Box

The big new thing at Zingerman’s Bakehouse is a small stone mill, where we’re milling local grains into whole grain flours and baking with them the very same day. This collection of breads and pastries highlights the best of these new, freshly milled flours in brand new treats and updated classics. Our colorful, cartoon gift box includes Country Miche Bread, Parmesan Pepper Bread, an Orange Date Scone, a Pecan Blondie, and a trio of cookies: a Michigan Double Chocolate Cookie, an Oatmeal Raisin Cookie, and a Chocolate Chunk Cookie.

Freshly Milled Loaves

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 made with a sour starter and a mix of white and freshly milled whole wheat flours. 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.

Jewish Rye

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.

Country Miche 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.

Whole grain, freshly milled spelt and rye loaf made with loads of sunflower seeds. Dense, moist, delicious, different from most of the breads we bake whose origins tend to be French and Italian. Excellent for sandwiches. I enjoy devouring loaves armed only with good butter and sometimes a toaster.

chOCOlate cherry

Mixed into the white and freshly milled whole wheat flour dough of this bread, there’s a generous helping of really good Parmigiano Reggiano along with a load of cracked black peppercorns from Epices de Cru. Leaves your mouth pleasantly aroused from the heat of the pepper and salivating from the savory sweetness of the parmesan. It’s fantastic toasted, when the cheese just barely starts to melt.

B-PEP 1 lb loaf $18

A chocolate lover's fantasy come true— the best Belgian and French chocolate and dozens of dried Michigan cherries in a freshly milled whole wheat base. 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.

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.

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."

The house bread at 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. It’s got great crust and a soft, chewy center that has a slight sweetness from dark molasses.

Peppered Bacon Farm Bread

We used to bake this on special occasions and we’d get so many orders we'd run out of bacon. It’s Farm Bread dough with Nueske’s Applewood Smoked Bacon and Zingerman's 5 Star Black Pepper.

Every bite has a bit of sourdough tang and a lot of the sweet, smoky meatiness of bacon, plus a little spice. I’m sure it makes great sandwiches, but I’ve never had a loaf around long enough to try.

paesano bread

If I had only one word to describe Paesano Bread, it’d be “utilitarian.” Yes, that’s not a very sexy depiction, but Paesano’s strongest quality is that it’s a multi-functional, pragmatic workhorse of a bread. The interior is thoroughly permeated with airpockets. It’s those pockets that make Paesano so versatile. They allow the bread to become infused with the flavors of whatever you serve it with. It’s perfect for sopping up leftover spaghetti sauce, for dunking in soup, or as a companion to cheeses or salami. Plus, Paesano is wonderful to eat just by itself—all the better to appreciate its soft, chewy texture.

chOColate sourdough

I have always been a fan of our Better than San Francisco Sourdough Bread, Service Star at but for a while I was hesitant to try our Chocolate Sourdough. I had a Mail Order Zingerman’s Goldilocks dilemma—would it be too sweet, would it be too sour, or would it be juuuust right? When I finally tried it, I immediately regretted all of the time I spent worrying about the flavor. Everything I love about our Sourdough Bread—the chewy crust, the present but not overpowering sour tang—marries beautifully with the rich, smooth Belgian chocolate chunks that are present in almost every bite. Some may recommend that you use it to make supremely decadent french toast. Others may suggest that you serve it with our hand-ladled Fresh Cream Cheese. These ideas are excellent, but sometimes the simplest methods are best. If you’re patient enough to wait fifteen minutes to warm it up in the oven, you’ll be rewarded with the sweet aroma of warm chocolate spreading through your kitchen. If you’re unable to wait, then I can tell you that it will be perfect right out of the bag!

Owner & Head Chef at It is my desert island food for sure. I love it for just eating, salami sandwiches, Zingerman’s Delicatessen grilled cheese and breakfast toast with tons of butter and preserves. This bread is so good with a fried egg on it. The big loaf holds well on the counter all week till you can get another one. How could you not like a loaf designed to sit around and get better? I’m amazed that we sell it for less when it’s “day old” at the Deli—we should charge more for it after a day! It has been the only bread in my stuffing for the last decade during Thanksgiving where it blends well to the sausage, celery and sage.

the crown jewel of the sea Ortiz Tunas from Spain Tuna is one of the most popular foods we sell. It may seem surprising because here in the U.S., tinned tuna is a low-end commodity usually sold in supermarkets. In Spain it’s at the complete opposite of the culinary spectrum. Tuna in tins, especially these from the fourthgeneration 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.

Tuna is our top-selling tinned seafood, but sardines aren't too far behind.

It's surprising to me since sardines are not a big part of the popular food scene in America. This is perhaps the classic case of tinned food seen as poor, low-quality food. Before college students ate 75 cent ramen, they ate 10 cent sardines. Forget that stereotype. Here, four or five tender, perfect sardines, come nested in a tin of olive oil, and their flavor is extraordinary—the prize of Portugal, revered there as a kind of national seafood treasure. We offer pure olive oil (classic style, illustrated) or extra virgin olive oil, which has the effect of making the flavor more buttery, less metallic; in a way it's less fishy.

Highland Smoked

Inverawe Scottish Smoked Salmon and Trout Gift Box The Inverawe smokehouse lies at the dead end of an oak lined lane, downwind from the Campbell-Preston family’s centuries-old stone house. Walk past its black tar walls, keep the Awe river on your left, climb the foothill to Ben Cruachan, and you’ll leave tree cover quickly, coming upon hillocks of heather and gorse. You'll be surrounded to the north and west

by Loch Etive, which empties, several miles west, into the Atlantic. The loch (lake), walled in by steep, treeless hills, holds the trout and salmon the family use. The forest along the road is where they collect windblown oak to fuel the smokehouse. It’s all as stunning and idyllic as it sounds and when I visited last spring I thought to myself, “You’d have to work hard to screw this up.”

I was overstating it of course. It’s actually quite easy to screw it up. It's difficult to smoke fish the way Patrick and his family do at Inverawe: with whole oak logs, employing no climate control beyond the fires they light. It’s the old way of smoking fish, rarely done today, and it’s quite tricky which is why, when the thermostat was invented, it was eagerly adopted.

They’re making the best smoked fish I’ve had in ages, and I’m excited to import their fish to the states for the first time. Their Scottish salmon is as delicious as you can imagine, but it’s the trout that you’re going to fall for. It’s the family’s favorite, their crew’s favorite—and mine too. The exquisite blue box, sporting the Royal Seal (the Queen is a customer) comes packed with a quarter pound each of oak smoked salmon and trout, plus a 12 ounce basin of their very popular salmon terrine. Ships frozen. Arrives frozen or cool. Lasts for 3 weeks refrigerated, 12 months frozen. Serves 8 easily.

La Gran Anchoa Anchovy Fillets

Smoked Bluefish Spread

The anchovies Ortiz cures for us are fished in April with traditional purse seine nets that skim silver-skinned anchovies from the surface. This old way of fishing has two effects. It keeps the sea healthier by leaving unneeded fish from the catch, and it bruises fewer fish because hauls are lighter than with drop nets. Once caught, the anchovies are cleaned, salted, stored for 6 months—a little shorter than usual, so they remain plump—then filleted and packed in olive oil to order, all by hand. These are the crème de la crème of ready-to-eat anchovies, the ones you want to eat on their own, whole. Toast, pasta, pizza, sandwiches, or salads, you name it, these are great on top of it.

P-LGA 67 g, 9-12 huge fillets $20

In Michigan, we celebrate smoked Lake Superior whitefish spread.

We grow up on it and develop an appreciation for the process.

I’ve become a connoisseur of smoked fish pâtés because of my job and my Great Lakes heritage, so trust me when I say this smoked bluefish spread from the Boston Smoked Fish Co. is one to covet. Made from hand-crumbled pieces of Cape Cod bluefish smoked over hickory, it’s remarkably light in its flavor, balancing the smoke with the flavor of the fish so that you can taste both. Spread over crusty bread or crackers or serve with ribs of celery when fish loving company pops by.

Peranzana Olive Oil

Maussane Olive Oil

Roi Olive Oil

Zingerman’s Olive Oil is made by Marina Colonna on her ancient estate in Italy’s Molise region, 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. A decade ago, after I visited Marina Colonna’s farm, we selected from the dozen or so olive varietals she grows and presses separately and chose this one for a bottling she’d do just for us. Every year we’ve tasted again. Every year we’ve chosen the same varietal.

Peranzana makes a lovable, delicious, authentic oil. You can use it in your kitchen to marinade, to dress, to douse, and to liven up just about any dish. It shines on beans, raw vegetables and just-grilled meats.

O-ZIN 500 ml $29

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.”

Alziari Olive Oil

On the Italian Riviera, delicacy, not strength, brings an oil acclaim and honor. Roi is one of the best Ligurian extra virgin olive oils I’ve tried. It’s been made in the mountain town of Badalucco by the Boeri family since 1900, exclusively from the thumbnailsized Taggiasca olive. This oil is the favorite of many of our crew. I regularly recommend it to folks who are beginning their olive oil education. At home, I love to pour Roi on freshly baked whole fish (half an hour at 350 degrees for a fish that weighs a pound).

O-ROI 1 liter $45 O-ROI-500 500 ml $25

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.

Champagne Vinegar

Kimberly started making vinegars by the Orleans method back in the 70s and they haven’t changed a thing. In a nutshell, the Orleans method mixes fresh wine with older vinegars. The ‘mother’ vinegar teaches the bacteria present in the air and wine to convert the alcohol into acetic acid, turning the wine into vinegar. Kimberly sources Pinot Noir grapes to create this champagne vinegar. It’s light on the tongue, not very sharp (thanks to a lower acidity), bright and fruity. It’s great in a tomato and cucumber salad, in vinaigrettes, or to deglaze a pan.

It’s not too often you see the French taking a page from the Italians when it comes to cuisine, but they did just that in crafting this intense, complex vinegar. It’s made from the same grapes (Trebbiano) balsamic vinegar makers use in Modena, Italy. Just like the Italians, they reduce the fresh pressed juice in copper kettles, then age the concentrated juice in oak barrels formerly used to age Cognac, which gives it a French twist. Like its Italian cousin, this vinegar is smooth, complex, a little sweet with a finish that seems to linger for hours.

Unlike its cousin, it’s light on the tongue (not thick) and more versatile in the kitchen. My favorite new vinegar in years.

Balsamic Vinegars from La Vecchia Dispensa Working just off the historic square in the center of the old town of Castelvetro, southwest of Modena, Italy, Roberta Pelloni, 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.

Summer Sausage

Nueske’s Bacons

Old Kiev Salami

Nueske's Applewood Smoked Bacon is our top seller. Perfectly balanced between softly, pleasantly sweet and salty/smoky, to me this is the platonic ideal of bacon. If I were to choose one bacon to eat every day, which pretty much sounds like heaven, this would be it. Nueske’s cures their bacon in spiced brine, smokes it over applewood for 24 hours then slices it thickly just for us. On the lighter end of the spectrum, Nueske’s Cherrywood bacon is a little milder, the salt a little lighter, the smokiness a little more present.

M-BAC 1 lb applewood $17 M-CHY 12 oz cherrywood $19

Based on a classic Ukranian recipe, the team at Red Bear Provisions in Chicago makes this salami from heritage breed, pasture raised pork. The meat is coarsely ground with plenty of snowywhite flecks of fat, then mixed with garlic, pepper, salt, and that’s about it.

Before hanging to dry and cure it’s wood smoked which gives just a hint of smoky flavor, but contributes to a sweetness and depth you don’t often find in other salume. Great alongside cheese and crackers, especially on picnics, hikes, or road trips.

M-OKS 8 oz $16

Summer sausage is a midwest staple and this top-notch version comes the Underground Collective team in Madison, Wisconsin. They’re sourcing local, humanely-raised meats and they're turning them into some super delicious salamis. For this summer sausage, they’re using a mix of pork and beef. It’s meaty, soft, sweet, a little smoky. Especially great with a cracker and some cheddar cheese, or maybe a handful of nuts. On a party platter I guarantee it will be the first appetizer to go. A great tasting food without pretense.

Dry-Aged Cowboy Cut Ribeye 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.

Pork Chops

Cinta (pronounced CHIN-tah) is a heritage breed of pig originally from Tuscany. These are the only ones are raised in America, rooting and roaming on Iowa pasture with no antibiotics or hormones. Cinta pork is renowned for its huge, deep, rich, earthy flavor. Each chop has a noticeable fat cap along the chop— don’t discard that, it’s got amazing flavor! They’re great on the grill, or sautéed in a cast iron pan. We offer two cuts: Porterhouse chops (illustrated) look like a T-bone steak, with the loin on one side of the bone and the tenderloin on the other side.

Center cut chops are the pork equivalent of a ribeye.

They have a Frenched bone sticking out a couple of inches to look like a delicious meat lollipop.

Benton’s Berkshire Bacon

As Allan Benton explains, “The secret is that there is no secret.

This is the way bacon was made for years.” To do that, he dry cures heritage Berkshire pork bellies with salt and brown sugar for a full month, then smokes over hickory for 3 whole days. The exceptionally long curing and smoking times make for exceptionally flavorful, memorable flavor that’s a confluence of smoke, salt, and sweet all at once. Our most intense bacon by a country mile.

His pigs spend their lives rooting around outside without antibiotics, hormones, growth promotants or any other modern “improvements.” Greg dry cures the bacon for a week with salt and celery powder, then smokes it over hickory logs for 12 hours.

Pecan Smoked Duroc Hams from

SMOKING GOOSE The New Standard for Holiday Hams

Forget the pineapple. These hams are made from heritage Duroc pork raised outdoors on pasture on a single farm in northern Indiana, then cured and smoked by the meat mavens at Smoking Goose. They are showstoppers without any garnishes.

Smoking Goose is a fantastic producer of slow cured and smoked meats, salumi, and sausages in Indianapolis. They are conscientious about the sourcing of the all the meat they use, working only with farmers who meet their standards for ethics and sustainability. To make these Pecan Smoked Hams, they’ve taken that attention to detail a step further by sourcing all of the pork from a single farm: Gunthorp Farms in northern Indiana.

Greg Gunthorp is a 4th generation pig farmer. He raises heritage Duroc breed pigs that spend their whole lives out rooting around on pasture. He never uses any hormones or antibiotics. Greg’s attention to detail pays off with huge flavor—his Duroc pork is earthy, nutty, bold, yet clean and juicy.

The team at Smoking Goose takes the raw Duroc hams and cures them with pepper, coriander, mustard seed, honey, bay leaf and Shelby Blue Ribbon Cider, a strawberry-rhubarb cider from local New Day Meadery in Indianapolis. Then they slowly smoke the hams over pecan wood.

The flavor is a knockout. Sweet and complex, with a smooth smokiness that lingers long after you put down your fork. The hams are fully cooked and ready to eat right away.

A Zingerman’s exclusive. The hams are boneless, unsliced, shipped frozen and may take a day to defrost.

Pheasant might traditionally be the poor man’s holiday centerpiece—without money to buy meat, a pheasant could be hunted wild and dressed at home. But it’s also a popular choice for the British royal family to serve for dinner on Christmas eve. I understand why—pheasant tastes like the most flavorful chicken you’ve ever tasted, and then some. The flavor is rich and robust, without being gamey. It’ll make for a meal you’ll be talking about for many Christmases to come. A whole pheasant is about the size of a chicken and roasts to a perfect golden-brown in about as much time. Whole bird, ships frozen.

Farmstead Marvel

Valserena Parmigiano Reggiano from Italy Practically all Parmigiano Reggiano is made from milk pooled together from multiple farms. But the fifth-generation cheesemakers at Valserena make a farmstead cheese.

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

irResiStible italian fruits Hand-Picked Apricots and Wild Cherries and in Syrup It’s been a dozen holidays since I found wild Italian cherries from Piedmont. I remember bringing the first jar to Christmas at home, spooning out individual fruits to top a crisp of cracker slathered with a gooey triple crème cheese whose name I forget. I kept at it for an hour—I have a big family and everyone wanted seconds.

We barely made a dent in the jar. Prepared in small batches so they do not bruise, packed with syrup in a resealable glass jar, we've been bringing in a small quantity every holiday since and their fans gobble them up. We also offer soft, tender apricots, hand harvested and rushed into a simple syrup bath within hours. The speed is important, it protects the texture and flavor of the fruit. The longer they wait around, the more their texture breaks down, the mushier they get. But that’s the only rushing allowed. The apricots take their time once they reach their bath, allowing the sugar to slowly soak into the fruit, preserving them and freezing their flavor at its peak. An elegant gift.

Fantastic with gelato or fresh cheeses. The cherries are pitted, but the apricots still have their stones so chew carefully.

Covering those jellies in chocolate would be a good place to start. That’s exactly what Guido Gobino, one of northern Italy’s premier confectioners, has done. They took four different flavors of fruit jellies: pear, peach, sour orange and tangerine.

Then they covered them in chocolate they make themselves. A luscious combination that balances neatly between the bright fruit flavors, the near gumdrop consistency of the jellies, and the smooth sweetness of the milk chocolate. The perfect gift for a sweets lover, full stop.

Barcelona’s beverage Enric Rovira's Drinking Chocolate

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.

Peppy Peppermint Bark Peppermint bark has been a Christmas staple for my family as much as Christmas cookies have, and I know I’m not alone. While I’ll never forget Christmas as a kid, this peppermint bark from Chocolate Signatures in Toronto has erased all memories of the bark I ate. Dark Belgian chocolate is topped with white chocolate (that actually tastes good), coated in a layer of crushed real peppermint candies. Comes in a hot red tin.

Chocolate Covered Grissini

adults like ‘em toO!

English Chocolate Peppermint Creams I took these home to do some "research" and hit a snag. The whole box disappeared from my office. I found it hours later, hidden under my seven-year-old daughter’s pillow. Half of the patties were gone.

“I need these for work!” I said. She looked at me then back at the box of chocolates. “Well, can I have them when you’re done?” she asked. I don’t blame her. These are peppermint creams with a plus—the heirloom Black Mitcham peppermint is grown on the farm where they make the candies, picked so fresh and vibrant they practically hum.

Grissini are the thin bread sticks you see on every North Italian table before dinner. These, made by a bakery in the town of Asti, are crisp and crumbly and absolutely grand when served plain.

But that's not what we're doing here. These are covered in semi-sweet chocolate. Each bread stick is more than eight inches long and, thanks to the sweet jacket, built for coveting. Imagine a really substantial, supremely delicious version of Japanese Pocky® chocolate covered biscuit sticks.

Fill the our new garden bread

Veggie Confetti Sweet Bread

The latest sweet treat from the ovens at Zingerman’s Bakehouse features the bounty of the fall harvest. Veggie Confetti Sweet Bread starts with the same organic flour, real butter, fresh eggs, and cane sugar used in all our pastries, then gets a deep, dark sweetness from the addition of grated zucchini, beets, and carrots. Then the loaf gets a heady dose of cinnamon and nutmeg to tie it all together. The vegetables give the bread a deep, rich hue dotted with bursts of color and a soft, moist crumb full of flavor—a lot like pumpkin bread, but without the pumpkin.

A sweet addition to the Thanksgiving bread basket, a lighter option for dessert, or a killer morning-after breakfast. Comes wrapped in tissue and gift boxed.

Loaded with dried cranberries and toasted pecans, this loaf is the kissing cousin to our extremely popular Pecan Raisin Bread.

As it ages, the cheese becomes ooey, gooey, and spoonable.

Pleasant Ridge Reserve from Wisconsin This may be the best American cheese being made today. Like a European mountain cheese, it's fruity in an appley sort of way—rich, deep and sweet.

Production is very small—about 6,000 wheels a year. They utilize a seasonal, open grazing system, which means all the milk used to make the Pleasant Ridge Reserve is taken when the cows are happy and content out in the open pasture. Happy cows tend to produce great tasting milk. We work closely with Andy Hatch, the maker, to select specific days of cheese, tasting from a series of different days of production to pick the most flavorful of the bunch to bring to our cheese locker in Ann Arbor and hand cut for you. And for a real flavor bomb, we’ve also secured just a few double-sized, double-aged wheels, chosen by Andy just for us.

oOo-y, a liTtle goOey Manchester Cheese from Michigan

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.

19th Century Turkeys Return to the Thanksgiving Table

Thanks

Heritage Turkeys from Paul Kelly Paul Kelly’s family has raised old breed turkeys in England for almost half a century. They now have a farm in Virginia and offer a limited number of their impeccably raised birds. We snagged some this year and I’m quite excited to tell you about them.

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 that goal out went its disease fighting genetics, out went its ability to survive on its own, out went its flavor. Today’s commercial turkey is raised on a daily cocktail of antibiotics, without which it would succumb to illnesses common in high-density feedlots. It’s also terribly bland. 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 Paul has them prepared in what’s called “New York dressed.” It’s the old way turkeys were processed on farms. They are cleaned without water, hung to age like steak. It’s a style that, as you can derive from the name, started in the USA but went away as American farmers switched to water processing with no aging. These might seem like small differences—a bit of water here, a bit of time hung to age there. But wait till you taste the difference. It’ll 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.

You might have any number of great reasons to buy one of these turkeys for your feast this year. They’re sustainably raised. They support old breeds with diverse genetics. They keep alive a traditional way to dress the bird. But when you come back for one next year, it will be for one simple reason—they taste so good. Limited quantities.

I can’t remember a family Thanksgiving without a pumpkin cheesecake. I also can’t remember ours ever tasting this good (sorry, grandma). Made with cream cheese from Zingerman’s Creamery, real pumpkin spiced up with cinnamon, cloves and ginger and finished off with a ginger molasses cookie crust, you’re looking at the next star of the dessert table. Sorry, pie. You had a darn good run.
