grain to the Grindstone

Freshly Milled Bakery Gift Box

The big new thing in 2019 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, including 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.

Almost no one still smokes fish the way Patrick Campbell-Preston and his family are in western Scotland: with whole oak logs collected from their land, in a natural air smokehouse set amongst the hills a short walk from their house. There is virtually zero technology, just decades of accumulated craft. You’ll see what I mean when you taste their salmon, their terrine, and—my favorite—the sea trout. All gift boxed. Ships frozen. Arrives frozen or cool. Lasts for 3 weeks refrigerated, 12 months frozen.

Serves 8 easily.

Passion Fruit & Citrus Curd

Passion fruit tastes like a tropical fantasy: tart-sweet with an exotic floral quality that reminds me of a warm breeze while sipping a cool drink on a white sand beach. Dolloping this impossibly creamy passion fruit and citrus curd on toast or in yogurt briefly turns a Tuesday morning into a dreamy retreat.

Zingerman’s Classic Cheesecake It may seem obvious, but if you make cheesecake with better cheese and better graham crackers in the crust, you make a better cake. Ours is made with Zingerman’s Bakehouse handmade graham crackers and Zingerman’s Creamery’s all-natural, made-the-way-it-was-a-century-ago cream cheese, which gives the cheesecake in your mouth the sense of being airborn.

Holy Cow Beef Sticks

Red Bear Provision’s recipes are inspired by the flavors of Eastern Europe and Russia. This is their version of Evreyskaya, a beef salami usually reserved for special occasions, here made in a slender format ready for snacking on the go. Mixed with black pepper and garlic, these sticks are smoked over oak to impart a hint of smoky sweetness to go with the rich beef flavor.

Chimichurri Sauce

ChocOlate works of art

J. Patrice Chocolates

Chimichurri is a tart, herbaceous sauce of garlic, parsley, oil, vinegar and various herbs and spices. This version comes to us from the heart of Argentina’s Patagonia region in the Nahuel Huapi National Park.

The herbs and spices are smoked over local wood creating a remarkably complex flavor: bright and tart, herbal with a whisper of heat, and an underlying bass note of rich wood smoke.

Jamie LeBoeuf and her small crew have created a signature line of six gorgeous chocolate bonbons you can only get from us: Salt & 5 Star Black Pepper Blend Caramel, Agrumato Orange, Midnight Sky, Hot Chocolate, Toffee Nut Latte, and Milk Biscotti. As delicious as they are beautiful.

icelandic liver Lover

Tinned Cod & Monk Fish Livers From the fishing village of Suðureyri, at the end of the road in Iceland’s remote Westfjords peninsula, perched between towering fjords and a deep, icy, lagoon, come these tinned livers of cod and monk fish. Despite the bad rap that fish liver oil gets, these livers are mild and easy to love. The monk fish is particularly clean and light, while the cod is richer with more savory umami punch.

Snacking in 2019 got way better with these individually-sealed one-ounce pouches of peanut butter (or what maker Pic and crew call “slugs”). Made only with peanuts and a smidge of sea salt, you’ll use them in a million ways.

Squeeze a slug on your way to work. Pop a slug for a protein push before your workout. Stick some slugs into your kids’ bags for when they need a energy infused snack. Convenient and delicious.

English Piccalilli

Piccalilli is pickled chunky “veg” in bright mustard, a great table mate to ham and sausage. A farmstand staple in England, piccalilli is all but invisible in America. Maybe it’ll stay that way. After all, it’s been around for a couple hundred years and hasn’t caught on yet. But who knows. Maybe someday we’ll remember 2019 is the year America’s piccalilli craze first took off.

In August 2011, a small production crew from the Food Network descended on Zingerman’s Deli for interviews and to film bacon footage. That December they aired the special episode of “Best Thing I Ever Ate” featuring our bacon club and it blew up. Whenever they replay the episode, our phones ring with orders for the bacon club. It’s easy to see why: a package of artisan bacon delivered every month is a pretty hard gift to top. See full club details on page 8.

Ortiz Bonito Tuna

We’ve been selling Ortiz’s tuna for longer than just the last decade. But it was in 2013 we upped our game. That fall we visited the fish maker at their seaside home in Ondarroa, Spain and selected batches just for us. Is there a difference between two tins of tuna from the same maker? Turns out there is, and anyone can taste the difference. We’ve been selecting ever since and the attention to flavor has helped make Ortiz’s tuna a perennial Zingerman’s best seller, one of our top five most purchased items year after year.

Urchin Pasta Sauce

Dry-Aged Cowboy Cut Ribeyes In 2015 we shipped our first ribeyes from Carman Ranch in Oregon. The steaks are enormous: nearly two inches thick, each tipping the scales at about a pound and a half. The cowboy cut has a couple inches of bone sticking out, giving you a handle to hold onto. The steaks are dry-aged for two weeks, creating huge flavor with a deep mineral tang. Like all our steaks, they’re entirely grass-fed like cows should be, but feature astonishing marbling. Ships frozen.

Sea urchin—called ricci di mare in Italian, literally “sea hedgehog”­—is briny and funky in a way that, as soon as the first bite hits, you can recall what the ocean wind smelled like. Paolo Licata’s sea urchin sauce is a smooth, sweet, delicious Sicilian classic tomato sauce, spiked with shrimp and anchovies with a deep current of urchin flavor running throughout. I adore it on a plate of just-cooked Rustichella bucatini pasta.

Trips to cheese makers and agers. Back and forth across the hills of Central Italy. Tasting and learning. Packing samples in suitcases. Back to the States. Taste, evalutate, return. Backbreaking, terrible work, I know! But in 2017, it paid off when we landed on a small producer named Valserena for our house Parmigiano Reggiano. If you’ve bought a hunk of Parmesan from us in the last couple years, chances are it’s been from Valserena, and if you haven’t, it’s high time to do so and see how superlative this already great cheese can be.

Green Hill Cheese

On the verdant pastures of southern Georgia, husband and wife Jeremy and Jessica Little raise a herd of mostly Jersey cows and make stunning cheese. Their Green Hill is a camembert-style cheese with an intense golden color. Each wheel is hand-ladled and aged for two weeks, just long enough to form a thin bloomy rind.

The aroma is like fresh cream and sautéed mushrooms.

It’s got a silky texture and tastes like buttered popcorn when it’s fresh, with mushroomy notes developing as it ages. Slather it on a warm, crusty baguette or pair it with American Spoon’s sour cherry preserves (online) and crackers for an eye-rollingly good snack.

Tamarind Date Sauce Hawa Hassan, the founder of Basbaas Somali Foods, was born in Mogadishu but fled first to Kenya and later to Seattle as a child during the Somali civil war. She eventually landed in Brooklyn, where she’s created this spicy, cheek flushing yet sweet and delightfully fruity sauce made from a base of tamarind and dates that’s popular in her native Somalia. It’s a complex addition to dressings and marinades. Or drizzle it over chicken, pork, steak, grilled fish, anywhere you’d like to add a punch of fruity heat to the dish.

germany via wisconSin Pork Aahle Worscht Salami In the local dialect of Hesse, Germany, where Aahle Worscht originally comes from, the name literally means “old sausage.” Unlike so many fresh, juicy German sausages, this one is more akin to a cured salami, though still soft in texture.

Working with pasture-raised, heritage breed meats from local farms around Madison, Wisconsin, master meat curer Jonny Hunter and his team at Underground Meats make their Aahle Worscht with a splash of rum and a dash of nutmeg and coriander. The flavor is warm and spicy and totally delicious. Pair it with crackers, cheeses, pickles, mustard, and plenty more.

Rupen Rao immigrated to America from India, bringing his mother’s recipes with him.

After a few years he was teaching Indian cooking classes, which led to a catering business, cookbooks, and a line of sauces. His saag—the word for spinach throughout much of the Indian subcontinent—curry is perfect for simmering. Simply sauté chunks of chicken breast or vegetables in a pan for ten minutes, then add the sauce and simmer for another ten minutes. Or use it as a marinade for quick, flavorful grilled meats.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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).

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.

Having tried a truckload of coffee cakes in the past two decades I can say quite honestly that I haven’t tasted one I like better. I think the same goes for a lot of our customers—many folks return year after year to send this gift and this gift only. It’s substantial, it’s honest, it’s straightforward, and it’s really good.

I guarantee you really can taste the difference.

Whenever someone loses a loved one, their house is usually besieged by grand floral arrangements. I usually send food, though, and often find it’s really appreciated—especially when they can enjoy the foods right out of the box. We offer two options. Need it there tomorrow? Call us. Not sending in sympathy? No problem, we can remove the identifying sticker.

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.

Reuben sandwich Kits

Zingerman's Reuben has been our top-selling sandwich since our doors opened on the corner of Detroit Street and Kingsley in 1982. It's a soul-filling combination of corned beef, Swiss, homemade Russian dressing and sauerkraut that, when properly prepared at home, is a show-stopping meal. If you know someone who loves real deli fare, sending this gift will cement your status as the most clever, generous friend anyone could have. Some assembly is required, but considering it has been known to make adults weep in appreciation, we think it’s worth it.

Beautiful Balance

The Unequaled Balsamic Vinegars of La Vecchia Dispensa

While we carry different vinegars and olive oils from different farms and acetaias, we only carry one family's everyday balsamic. Working just off the historic square in the center of the old town of Castelvetro, southwest of Modena, Italy, Roberta Pelloni and her husband Marino Tintori make a range of outstanding balsamics under the name La Vecchia Dispensa. And while I've probably tasted a hundred balsamics since we started carrying theirs a decade and a half ago, none have come close in terms of balance and flavor. Although many believe 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 Vecchia Dispensa. They have a legion of followers who return to them again and again.

two ways to taste the range of la vecChia dispensa’s balsamics Gift Box of Four Balsamics

save $75

You don’t have to be a balsamic sommelier to taste the difference between various balsamic vinegars. As balsamics age, they go from being bright and tart to taking on a sweeter, more raisiny flavor and a thicker, more syrupy texture.

Younger balsamics are better for vinaigrettes; 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 for a stunning gift.

LOWOUT sale The ultra luxe

Next Level Balsamic from Modena Just when you thought balsamic couldn’t get any more luxurious, the balsamico maestro at Acetaia del Cristo in Modena, Italy has turned the dial up to 11 with a decades-old sumptuous elixir that will leave you gobsmacked. Over the years of aging in traditional barrels, the balsamic and wood flavor each other. The longer the aging, the more intense the effect: the flavor becomes deeper, with incredible nuance and complexity in each drop of balsamic. After more than 50 years of aging, the extraordinary Black Diamond balsamic has astonishing flavor. Each bottle is tucked in a bespoke wooden box decorated with a design that’s been fire-etched by hand on the lid. But if 50 years of aging isn’t enough for you, we have an extremely limited selection of bottles aged for over a century—find them online. Get yours quick—after decades in the barrel, these will only last a few weeks on our shelves, tops.

The regal, Rare ones

Tradizionali Balsamics from Modena These are the vinegars about which legends have been woven. Buy one for a grand occasion. A golden anniversary. A wedding. A newborn. An election win.

Tested by a panel of judges, the qualifiers in Modena are graded gold and white.

Then they return to the wood for another five, ten, twenty, or a hundred years or more. During the aging process, the vinegar is shifted from one type of wood to the next. Cherry, chestnut, oak and mulberry all leave their imprint on the flavor of the vinegar. The result is an almost unbelievable concentration of sweet-sour flavor in a dense, intense, brown-black vinegar that hints of berries, grapes, vanilla. There is nothing like it in the world. Only a tiny amount is released each year, in elegant glass flasks. Let loose a few drops on ripe strawberries fresh from the market. An amazing treat you'll always remember. All traditional balsamics from Modena are bottled in Ferrari designer Giorgio Guigiaro's streamlined, sexy bottle, then gift boxed. They may all look the same, but the vinegar is not. We buy ours from Acetaia del Cristo. I think their vinegars are consistently fantastic—and the juniper aged version is unique.
