Latest and Greatest Food Finds
Stroll through the central square in any town in Provence and you’re sure to pass a candy shop or two. Step inside, and you can’t help but notice the calissons. This local specialty is a candy made from almond flour and candied melon, molded into a rounded diamond shape. With a texture like chewy marzipan and a flavor that’s distinctly fruity and notably almond-y but not too sweet, they’re a real treat. We’ve searched for years to find calissons we love, and we finally found them from Maison Léonard Parli, where they’ve been making these traditional candies in the town of Aix-en-Provence since 1874. They use granite millstones to grind the almonds with a mix of candied melon and orange, preserving all the flavor while creating a satisfyingly toothsome texture. The candies come packed in an adorable calisson-shaped box, making for a gift as pretty as it is tasty.

Val's new mom picks
Hey there. I’m Val. I’m one of the folks at Zingerman's who finds new foods and puts these catalogs together. Last August my son Peter was born, so this will be my first Mother’s Day as a new mom. If anyone felt like sending me a gift (hint hint, honey!), here are the foods I’d most like to receive. I think they'd also make a great gift for any other new—or more experienced—moms out there.
Val's pick for dinner in a Flash
Zingerman’s Potato Knish
Knishes are traditional Jewish pastries. The ones we have here are made at Zingerman’s Delicatessen and have a tender, flaky crust stuffed with mashed Yukon Gold potatoes, onions, and herbs. They’re rich and velvety, with loads of homey potato flavor. But even more importantly in these new baby days when there’s no time to cook, they’re a cinch to serve for dinner. Take them straight from the freezer to the oven, heat for 15 minutes, and before you know it you’re eating a meal finer than you’d have in most restaurants in town.

Val's pick for a sweet indulgence
Noccioliva Hazelnut & Chocolate Spread
I’m a sucker for chocolate and hazelnut spreads. I eat them on crepes, on graham crackers, on toast—and most often, especially these days, on spoons. This version, made in the very center of Italy by Antonio della Corte and Anna Marie Conti, is particularly silky, with knock out hazelnut flavor. The smooth texture gets an extra dose of richness from the addition of a bit of extra virgin olive oil from Anna Marie’s farm. When I haven’t washed my hair in three days and the crying has been going on nonstop for hours, a little taste of this spread makes me feel like there’s still something going right in my world.

Dried Irwin Mango from Taiwan
Most days, around three o’clock I start raiding the pantry for a little something to tide me over until dinner. If I find a bag of these mangoes, they’re guaranteed to be the first thing I reach for. Simply put, they are the best dried mangoes I’ve ever tasted—and I’ve tasted a lot of dried mangoes. Each piece is one half of an Irwin mango, the most popular variety of mango in Taiwan. The thick slices are surprisingly plump and soft. The sweet and tropical flavor is purely mango with no added sweeteners or preservatives.

Coffee Cakes
Coffee cakes have been our best selling gift since we started mailing food in the early 1990s. Having tried a truckload of coffee cakes in the past two decades I can say quite honestly that I haven’t tasted one I like better. I think the same goes for a lot of our customers—many folks return year after year to send this gift and this gift only. It’s substantial, it’s honest, it’s straightforward, and it’s really good. Each cake is baked by us in Ann Arbor, Michigan. I guarantee you really can taste the difference.
Start by choosing your flavor. Then select your size: the small “nosher” cakes are 6 inches across and serve 5-7, and the large “fresser” cakes are 9 inches across and serve 10-12. Finally, pick your packaging: either our colorful, cartooned gift box, or a classic woooden gift cate.

Daisy Lemon Layer Cake
You’ve got to hand it to fondant frosting—it makes cakes gorgeous. It shapes like potter’s clay and holds color like a fresco. All those tilting, day-glo cakes you see that are so alluring—all fondant. Unfortunately, most of the cakes' engineering stops at decoration. The meat of the cake, so to speak, is bland and pointless. We’ve made sure our Mother's Daisy Cake is different. It starts with three layers of a classic yellow cake, baked with real butter, buttermilk, fresh lemon juice and real vanilla. Between each layer we spread silky buttercream frosting. Finally, we cover it with vanilla fondant we make in house: first a pastel yellow layer, then on top a big daisy and an adorable ladybug. Mom will love how it looks. She’ll talk for weeks about how it tasted. Ships frozen, arrives cool. Supplies are limited so reserve early.

THE FRUIT CAKE LIKE NO OTHER
Full disclosure: the price on these fruit cakes may cause sticker shock. While we think of fruit cake as a cheap, industrial hol iday laughing stock, these are another species altogether, crafted by Robert Lambert from rare citrus that he candies himself. Taking a cue from its native England, where fruit cake is eaten for special occasions (including royal weddings) year round, Robert made a special batch of cakes just for us for Mother's Day. A slice cut thin while the cake is cool—I recom mend serving it chilled—looks like a stained glass window and is a taste revelation.

P-RLD 1 lb, 6 inches long, serves 8–10 $80 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE
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.
Robert’s classic cake, based on his grandmother Flora’s recipe. It’s by far the best of its kind I’ve ever tried. It features blood oranges, bergamots, Rangpur limes, rare Japanese shekwasha, and more. Each cake is soaked in cognac and aged for a few months, then garnished with a slice of candied fruit and a cedar sprig, all wrapped gently in cheese cloth. It tastes fresh, clean and lively. Comes in a muslin bag.

Four fantastic gifts from france
François Doucet Amour Pâtes de Fruits from Provence
While most folks might figure Mom prefers a gift of chocolates for Mother’s Day, kids in the know consider other avenues to Mom’s sweet side. Pâtes de fruits are basically posh fruit gum mies, but I’m not sure anyone under the age of thirty can truly appreciate how smooth, luscious, and soft these are compared to the little bears that usually come to mind. These come from François Doucet, a confectioner in Provence that’s famous for capturing the pure flavors of the area and turning them into a sweet eating experience. Two flavors: raspberry and blueberry, formed into soft, sweet, bright hearts that will blow Mom away.

Angelina Drinking Chocolate from Paris
My mom is generally not a fan of hot chocolate. But true story: when I took her to Angelina, the jewelbox tea salon on the Rue de Rivoli in the heart of Paris, she loved the hot chocolate so much that she eagerly poured the last few sips into an empty water bottle to save for later. Boy was I glad she did. Angelina’s hot chocolate is astonishingly delicious: incredibly rich, with deep, intense chocolate flavor. The team at Angelina must have spotted my mom’s bottle filling operation, because these days you can buy a bottle of the chocolate to sip at home. Heat the bottle up in a water bath and you’re in business.

Betty Koster changes the image of Dutch cheese.
by Mo Frechette
I used to joke that The Netherlands only had one cheese: Gouda. Gouda in endless varieties, gouda with endless wardrobe changes. Gouda aged one year. Two years. Four years. Gouda with red wax. Gouda with black wax. To me, Dutch gouda was an enjoyable cheese, but monotonous, dull. It never got me excited. It never had me reaching for more.
Then I met Betty Koster. Betty and her husband Martin founded the cheese shop Fromagerie l’Amuse in Amsterdam in 1989. The Frenchified name belied its confidence in its home country. This was a shop of fine imported cheeses—many of them French—alongside some good-enough Dutch ones. That soon changed. Betty began traveling across the country, meeting cheesemakers and agers. She took chances on small Dutch cheesemakers. She worked with cheese agers who were willing to experiment with different lengths of aging, different temperatures, different environments.
By the time I met Betty she’d been developing her stable of great Dutch cheeses for almost two decades. She’d become an icon in The Netherlands. She had gone from cold-calling cheesemakers to talk about the cheese she just bought to driving to
farmers across the country and seeing them make cheese firsthand. She got to know the person behind the cheese, something no other shop or exporter did at the time. Before that the Dutch farmers and cheesemakers were unknown. They made cheese in anonymity, which, in the food world, is never a recipe for excellence. Any time a food is made without recognition it is usually made for cost savings, for profit—not for flavor. Today, her shop is the most copied, revered, sought-after and examined vessel of Dutch cheese in the country. When you visit you’ll see a glowing wall of waxed wheels of gouda behind the case. It’s still a gouda-centric cheese business. But the diversity in the goudas is shocking. From soft, sweet, young goudas to crystalline, caramelized aged ones. From sheep’s milk goudas from flocks grazed on seaside grasses to goat’s milk goudas that taste like milkshakes. Many Americans I know admiringly refer to Betty as the Julia Child of Dutch cheese. She’s larger than life, expressive, immediately approachable, funny, and knows her topic inside and out. The cheeses she brings to America have a big personality, just like her. The cheeses she finds, the way she chooses to age them — they are exciting. They will have you reaching for more.
L'Amuse Signature
Cow's Milk Gouda
Made in Northern Holland from the pasteurized milk of Holstein cows, which give L'amuse a distinctive creaminess speckled with big, crunchy flavor crystals. Selected for us by famed Dutch cheesemonger Betty Koster, aged for over two years, the flavor is correspondingly intense. It fills your mouth with butterscotch and caramel. It’s a remarkably good pair for dried fruit. Or to take it to the next level, it's a cheese that can easily double as a dessert (and goes great with espresso or a nibble of good dark chocolate).

Brabander
Goat's Milk Gouda
From the province of Brabant in the southern end of the Netherlands, this gouda is made with pasteurized milk from Saanen goats. The wheels are aged for around six months under the direction of Betty Koster. The flavor is outstanding, beloved by practically everyone who tastes it: sweet with long, deep notes of caramel as well as some bright notes and hints of grass and hay. It’s buttery and tastes fresh, in spite of its age. Great for a cheese tray, grilled cheese sandwiches, or cut in cubes and tossed in a salad.

Rispens
Sheep's Milk Gouda
Jacob Rispens shepherds 300 Lacaune sheep, which is precisely 73 more individuals than live in Morra, the town he calls home. The sheep’s fat-rich milk is made into compact wheels of gouda. Almost no gouda is made from sheep’s milk, so not only is this a delicious find, it’s a rare one. It’s got sweet, soft aromas of buttermilk and dry hay. A flavor that, I swear, is just like salted caramel. Shave some over roasted vegetables, grate it on some pasta, or eat it alongside a crisp apple and a handful of nuts.

Finally, the l'Amuse Signature Cow's Milk Gouda is aged for over two years for intense, butterscotchy sweetness. The three half-pound pieces of cheese come packed in our colorful, cartoon gift box alongside a loaf of Sourdough bread.

Shopping & Shipping Details
When wilL my ordeR arRive?
You tell us! At Zingerman’s you can pick when you want your food to arrive. Our default is generally to ship right away to arrive within a few days, but you can adjust that however you need. Want it there ASAP? We can expedite it! Want to buy it now but ship it later? We can do that too! We can place an order today and schedule it to ship a day later, a week later, a month later—you name the date. We’ll reserve your food, then ship it to arrive when you’d like.
How do you ship?
We ship food via UPS and FedEx:
Flat rate & relaxed: 1-4 business days in transit
2 business days: 1-2 business days in transit
One business day: 1 business day in transit (okay, fairly self-explanatory) Which method your food ships depends on the food and the shipping method you choose. We always expedite more perishable foods, like breads and cheeses, to ensure that they arrive in great shape. We don’t include invoices or other pricing information in our shipping boxes, so you can rest assured your gift will arrive without a record of how much you spent.

Rustichella Pastas
Rustichella pasta, from Italy’s Abruzzo region, is made from hard durum semolina that’s extruded through bronze dies so it has a scruffy, rough surface, perfect for holding sauce. It’s dried at low temperatures for three to four days, which gives it a dense, chewy texture. Rustichella takes a quick weeknight pasta dinner from ordinary to extraordinary.

Pasta Night,
Gentile Pastas
From Gragnano, a hilltop town just south of Naples that’s known as the birthplace of dried pasta. The Zampino family makes Gentile pasta using a special type of wheat called Senatore Capelli, an old heirloom varietal that’s difficult to grow but incredibly aromatic. The Napoletani shape is like a shell, but with more embellished ridges. Ziti rigate are ridged tubes. Both are outstanding with chunky sauces.
P-GNP 500 g bag napoletani $12

new mom val's dinner tip
Gentile pasta with Il Mongetto tomato sauce and Cravero parmesan is on heavy rotation for dinner at our house these days.
Il Mongetto Tomato Pasta Sauces
For years Il Mongetto has been the top contender for my favorite bottled pasta sauce. They have a clean, fresh flavor that I never tire of. Filled with tomatoes, shallots, celery, carrots, olive oil and a pinch of salt, Il Mongetto sauces have complex, compelling flavors that other sauces only aspire to.

Ligurian Pesto, the real deal
From the region of Liguria in northern Italy, the birthplace of pesto, this is the iconic basil sauce made the way it was meant to be. Basil grows easily in that region’s temperate climate. It’s harvested young, when just two leaves have sprouted on the plant, keeping it sweet and herbaceous. Add grated Parmesan, let the compliments roll in.

Paesano bread
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 SHIPS 2 BUSINESS DAY
Cravero’s Parmigiano Reggiano
Giorgio Cravero sources Parmigiano Reggiano from 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. Giorgio ages the wheels to develop particularly soft, sweet flavors, good enough to eat all on its own (though it’s excellent for grating over pasta, too).
C-VER by the pound $35 SHIPS 2 BUSINESS DAY WARM WEATHER CARE
Peranzana Olive Oil
Made by Marina Colonna from hand-picked Peranzana olives grown on her own estate in Molise, Italy, pressed into oil the same day they’re taken from the tree. This extra virgin olive oil has huge, grassy, peppery flavor. A Zingerman’s exclusive.

Zingerman's Babkas
Where did they come from? And why are they so good?
Babka is a sweet loaf, both fluffy and rich, kind of like a light textured coffee cake with a dense filling swirled throughout. Its origins date back five hundred years or so to the Jewish communities in eastern Europe, places like Belarus, the Baltics, Ukraine, Poland, and Russia. The original babka was a tall, yeast-risen cake, probably a lot like an Italian panettone (find it at zingermans.com each December).
Historian Lesley Chamberlain believes it arrived from Italy via Queen Bona in the 16th century. Babka developed as a Russified version of the cake.
By the late 19th Century, babka looked like what we know today: a sweet, swirled loaf, longer than it is tall. The grandmothers of the shtetls in eastern Europe (where babcia is the word for grandmother) probably made babka with leftover challah bread dough wrapped around nuts or jam. These days, the nuts have been replaced with fillings like fruit, cinnamon or, most popularly, chocolate—an addition that first showed up in the Jewish communities in New York’s Lower East Side in the mid-1900s.
The master bakers at Zingerman’s Bakehouse make two flavors of babka. The first is swirled with chocolate and cinnamon and studded with juicy golden sultana raisins. The second is stuffed with pieces of roasted apple, toasted bits of walnuts, and a swirl of Michigan honey. Each comes wrapped in tissue and gift boxed, and serves 6–8.

Rugelach
Rugelach are cookies made with tender, flaky, cream cheese pastry wrapped around a swirl of filling. We offer three gift boxes. The most traditional 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.

Traditionally made without any wheat, our coconut macaroons are slightly crunchy on the outside, rich and creamy on the inside.

Each box contains a dozen cookies total: half with Madagascar vanilla, half with Belgian chocolate.

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
“Now that’s a sandwich!”

A little history
The corner deli America loves
Zingerman’s Delicatessen opened in March of 1982 with a staff of two, a small selection of great tasting specialty foods, a short sandwich menu, and a host of traditional Jewish dishes. Today our deli is known as a mecca for great food. Zingerman’s is now several distinct businesses full of artisan bakers, cheesemakers, chefs, candy makers, and coffee roasters. But we still deliver the deli classics.

Zanzibar Peppercorns
All New F
Harvested from the island of Zanzibar off the coast of Tanzania, these peppercorns are smaller and more intense than what you normally find. They’re ripened on the vine before they’re hand-picked and sun-dried for a bright and citrusy flavor balanced by a cocoa richness. The aroma alone is worth the price of admission—take a whiff when you crack it open, and you'll be blown away. Freshly ground pepper packs a huge flavor punch compared to the pre-ground stuff. I highly recommend getting a pepper grinder and filling it from this large 16 ounce container. Your cooking will thank you.

The rest of the year we’re thrilled to savor the summer flavor with these dried cherries from third generation family owned Friske Farm in Charlevoix. Tart Montmorency cherries are dried with a little bit of sunflower oil and sugar to balance the natural sour flavor. Where many overdry their cherries which can make them as tough as old gummy bears, these are left plump and soft, tender and terrific. The flavor is spot on dark cherry sweet without a hint of bitterness.

Black Sesame Popcorn
Tochi’s black sesame popcorn is a welcome departure from plain, boring, overly sweet versions of kettle corn. Instead of a thick jacket of sugar, these large, fluffy popcorn kernels are dressed with speckles of black sesame powder and popped in coconut oil for a subtle, nutty sweetness. Satisfyingly crunchy but not greasy, the popcorn has a mellow flavor that’s irresistibly snackable and keeps you going back for more. A bag is a perfect nosh by itself, but also try adding a handful to your own sweet and savory snack mix.

Ayvalik Olive Oil From Turkey
Ayvalik, a seaside region on Turkey’s Aegean coast, is renowned for its olives—so much so that this olive oil is made exclusively from the region’s eponymous olives. Hand-picked Ayvalik olives are pressed within a few hours for a smooth, buttery extra virgin olive oil that is typical of the light, lovely coastal flavors we associate with our old standby Roi olive oil from the Italian Riviera (find it at zingermans.com). The flavors here are gently green and grassy with light vegetal notes and a mild bitterness. Balanced and approachable, a drizzle of this oil will liven up almost any dish without being overpowering. Especially excellent with fish.

Vermouth Vinegar from Spain
It’s rare to find vinegar made from vermouth because it’s a longer, more expensive process than making regular wine vinegar. But the extra effort yields a unique condiment that captures the herbal, fruity essence of this favorite Spanish tipple. The process begins by making vermouth, a bittersweet fortified wine infused with herbs, spices, and botanicals. The vermouth is slowly fermented into vinegar using the Shützenbach method which creates a smooth, delicately flavored vinegar. Finally, a little bit of the wine and grape must is added in before it’s aged for a year in French oak barrels. The aging softens and balances the flavors, delivering a bright, lively vinegar with a sweet finish. It adds a complex depth of flavor, so I often substitute it for red wine vinegar to elevate dishes from humdrum to stellar. Perfect for marinades, vinaigrettes, and drizzling over fish or roasted vegetables.
