Noodle Kugel

Potato Knish It doesn’t get more classic then the knish: a Jewish pastry stuffed with a savory filling wrapped in flaky, buttery dough. Originating in Eastern Europe, the knish came to America with the Ashkenazi Jewish immigrants who settled in cities like New York around the turn of the 20th century. We’ve been making them at Zingerman’s Deli since we opened our doors in 1982. The inside is made of mashed Yukon Gold potatoes, onions, and herbs. The outside is a tender, flaky, handmade crust crafted from fresh farm cheese from Zingerman’s Creamery. Ready to eat, cold or hot. We like ours served hot with a side of good mustard. Heating instructions included. P-KNH-POT 4.5 oz, serves 1 $9.50 SHIPS 2 BUSINESS DAY

The only difference between our noodle kugel and the version made by co-founder Ari Weinzweig’s grandmother is we make ours with much better ingredients. Nostalgia aside, even Ari admits ours tastes far better than what his bubbe made for him when he was a kid. Like a bread pudding made with pasta instead of bread, ours is made with egg noodles from Al Dente in Whitmore Lake, farm cheese from Zingerman’s Creamery, plenty of plump Red Flame raisins, and a generous does of vanilla, it’s blended together and baked to a golden brown. Great for breakfast, lunch, dessert or really any time you just want something good to eat. Great cold, even better warmed up in the oven. P-KGL 20 oz pan, serves 4 $18 SHIPS 2 BUSINESS DAY

deli desserts Classic Deli Cheesecake This is classic New York-style cheesecake, with some quality of life ingredient upgrades thrown in. At Zingerman’s Bakehouse, they use fresh cream cheese from Zingerman’s Creamery, real vanilla, lots of sweet butter and a crust made from our own scratch-made graham crackers. This result is luscious—and irresistible. A-ZCH 7” cake, serves 6–8 $85 FREE SHIPPING

Coconut Macaroons Traditionally they’re for Passover, but I’m on a mission to have us all eating macaroons all year long. Why hold back when they’re this good? Our coconut macaroons are slightly crunchy on the outside, rich and creamy on the inside. Baked with Madagascar Vanilla or Belgian Chocolate. Simply put, they're the best-tasting coconut macaroons I’ve ever had anywhere, with a buttery, coconut aroma that stays with you like a strong memory. Made without wheat, but not Kosher.

French Picnic Gift Box

Tapas Gift Box In Spanish, tapas sort of means snacks, but that’s an inexact translation. In English you wouldn’t eat a meal of snacks. In Spain there’s no problem doing just that. There, tapas can start a meal or substitute for it entirely. The ingredients in this collection of open-and-serve delectables are not all Spanish, but the idea is. Eat them as the Spanish do, as evening makes its way indoors, with a glass of crisp wine. Packed by hand in our classic cartoon Zingerman’s box, including: artisan Manchego Cheese, Old Kiev Salami, Spanish Anise and Olive Oil Crispy Tortas, Marcona Almonds, Cod-Stuffed Piquillo Peppers from Basque Country and Portuguese Sardines. Serves 6-8 quite handily. G-TAP tapas gift box $95 FREE SHIPPING

Imagine this: you spend the morning poring through the cheeses and cured meats and breads and produce in the daily market of some provincial French village, then take your bounty down to the local park for a sunny afternoon picnic. If a trip to France isn’t in the cards today, bring the fantasy to life at home with this collection of foods every bit as delectable as what you’d find in France. Our colorful box includes a loaf of Zingerman’s Farm Bread, Pork and Pistachio Pâté, a wheel of Camembert-style Green Hill Cheese, a jar of Cornichon Pickles, and a box of chocolate covered walnuts from Périgord. Makes for more than a full meal for two, or snacks for a half dozen. G-FPN french picnic gift box $115 FREE SHIPPING

Fire Parched Wild Rice

Citrus & Almond Mandel Bread Cookies

This wild rice—not at all like the wild rice you’ll see in most shops— is one of America’s oldest foods. It was definitely on Native Americans’ diets four hundred years ago, which meant it was probably an early settlers’ food, too. The plants were part of the Great Plains ecosystem, a thousand mile stretch of grasses whose biodiversity was as great as the Amazon. Today, the rice harvest still happens in ways a person from four centuries ago would have recognized. The grasses are gathered by hand in canoes, threshed by simple Mo's favorite Sara's favorite Beth's favorite Founder, Zingerman’s Order machines and Mail parched over open fires. The flavor isServices absolutely Director, Zingerman’s Creative Supervisor, Zingerman’s Mail Order stunning. It’s mild but extremely complex, with woody, green and grassy flavors mixed in with nutty, yeasty, earthy notes. Never overpowering, it’s the kind of flavor kids love too. P-CAS 1 lb bag, serves 8–10 as a side $28

Mandel bread is our citrus almond cookie. You might recognize them as biscotti. It is not too sweet, not overly brittle, but certainly full of great flavor and crunch. The perfect partner to your morning or afternoon caffeine of choice. The key is the fresh lemon and orange zest coupled with the toasted almonds, all in a twice baked cookie. All that extra attention pays off in each bite. It’s at the top of my go-to list for a snack or a gift. And sharon's when you’refavorite done gobbling them up, check Concierge, Zingerman’s Business Gifts the bottom of your package to see if you’re lucky enough to have a few crumbles and almonds that have broken loose.

A friend of mine said it best after her first taste of Coop’s Salted Caramel Sauce: “Oh my god... this is what I always wanted salted caramel to be, but it never was...but now it is!” I shared my jar with her, and we ran out of clean spoons. It worked out okay, you can always substitute a butter knife for a spoon. Just to gild the lily, we even drizzled a little on top of sharon's favorite some dulce de leche gelato. At the Concierge, Zingerman’s Business Gifts end of the evening, when I asked my friend if she’d like to take a jar home with her, she resisted for all of about two seconds before snatching it up.

I have two great indulgences in my life, popcorn and bourbon. White Cat is the Pappy Van Winkle of popcorn. I used to think the secret to good popcorn was simply the right amount of butter and salt. It wasn’t until I was an adult that I realized it was all about the corn. It took years searching the planet sarah's favorite (via the internet) for me to find White Argyle, Texas Cat Popcorn. I don’t know what they put in the soil in Illinois but whatever it is it produces the biggest, fluffiest popcorn on Earth. They say the universe was created with The Big Bang.

Okay, so maybe they didn’t use a chocolate broom to chocolately sweep the chocolate corners of a chocolate factory to gather these confections, but the evil chocolate geniuses at Veruca Chocolates in Chicago got creative when they came up with these Halloween treats. Each box includes three 4-inch diameter spider webs: one dark chocolate with sea salt; one milk chocolate with popping candy; and one white chocolate with cocoa nibs and sea salt.

figs three ways

Chocolate Dipped Figs

For decades, the fig afficionados at La Higuera made only one product: rich, luscious, dark chocolate dipped figs, each stuffed with a woozy, boozy chocolate cream spiked with a hint of liqueur (read more about them on page 53). In recent years, they took the fig-and-chocolate theme to new heights with two new takes on the classic. First are white chocolate dipped figs, a lighter, sweeter, fruitier take with a hint of strawberry in the white chocolate filling. And second, caramel figs dipped in milk chocolate and stuffed with a milk chocolate and salted caramel ganache. Each box of six figs includes two of each flavor to mix and match, making for superb Halloween candy trading opportunities (but only if you feel like sharing).

While gummy bears were garnering all the attention, the folks at Kolsvart in Malmö, Sweden were busy reminding the world about their claim to chewy candy fame: Swedish Fish. Unlike the one-note grocery version, the Kolsvart fish are as fun to eat as they are to behold. I gathered a focus group of kids aged 6-12 and they confirmed three flavors as the next hot thing: Piggvar—sour blueberry turbots; Torsken—blackcurrant and raspberry cods; Gäddan—elderflower pikes.

wiscOnsin duTCH

Cheddar was originally wrapped in cloth, not dipped in wax. To my mind it has a far more compelling flavor that way. Cheddars aged in cloth have a complexity and length of flavor that’s unmatched by wax. The wheels we get are made by Cabot Farms in Vermont, and then aged at Jasper Hill Cellars. The Jasper Hill team specially selects wheels just for us. The rinds are brushed with lard, and they have a beefy, brothy flavor. Aged at least 9 months, it’s a sturdy cheese with a complex, lingering finish you can’t shake. A great cheese for serious snacking or on a world class cheese platter. C-CCC by the pound $36

A raw cow’s milk gouda (known as “boerenkaas” in Holland, the home of gouda) from Thorp, Wisconsin. Made by Dutch expat Marieke Penterman using only the milk of her own herd of cows, this rivals the Netherlands’ best cheeses in depth of flavor, complexity and balance. Each wheel ages on on pine planks. They have an irresistibly delicious balance of rich, dense, sweet and savory creaminess with those little crunchy flavor crystals we love so much.

america’s standard

Pleasant Ridge Reserve

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.

tears of joy Crybaby Cheese

Arethusa Farm in western Connecticut makes some truly delicious cheeses from their herd of Jersey, Brown Swiss, and Holstein cows. Crybaby is a versatile and tasty example. A Swiss-style, cheese, it’s aged for just a couple of months before reaching our shelves, which puts it on the young side. The youth of the cheese means there are many “eyes”—AKA holes—which give the cheese its name. Left to age longer, these holes would eventually close up as time and gravity condense the cheese, so Crybaby stops before things get too intense. It’s more subtle than other mountain-style cheeses. Sweeter, too. Complex enough to hold its own on a cheeseboard. But also really good in a sandwich. That’s what I call “versatile.” C-CBY by the pound $32 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

Their Green Hill is a camembert-style cheese with an intense golden color beneath a thin, snowywhite 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. C-GHL 7.5 oz round $24

Bayley Hazen is a stellar farmstead cheese made on Jasper Hill Farm in Greensboro, Vermont that reminds me a bit of raw milk Stilton. The texture is something else.

19th Century turkeys return to the thanksgiving table

Heritage Turkeys from Judd Culver

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

PaesanO 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 $9.50

Made with only organic wheat flour, water, sea salt, and our nearly three-decade old sourdough starter—and plenty of time. Making a loaf takes 18 hours.

It’s simple: our sourdough bread stuffed with chunks of dark Belgian chocolate.

Peppered Bacon Farm

My Italian friends would probably think this bread is heresy, but that’s their loss. It’s a natural for me because I love bread, parmesan and good black pepper. There’s a heaping helping of Parmigiano Reggiano in every loaf, along with a load of cracked Zingerman's 5 Star Black Peppercorns. Leaves your mouth pleasantly aroused from the heat of the pepper and salivating from the savory sweetness of the parmesan. It’s fantastic when toasted. B-PEP 1 lb loaf $18

I love this bread: savory, lusty, delicious and dangerously close to addictive. Softly spicy, fire-roasted New Mexico green chilis and Nor'easter Cabot cheddar blended into the Bakehouse’s tangy Farm Bread. Great on its own or as an accompaniment to dinner. It’s especially good if you give it about fifteen minutes in a 325-degree oven before you break it open so it’s nice and steamy when you crack the crust. B-CHI 1¼ lb loaf $18

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.

Pistachio Vanilla Brittle We know good brittle. Zingerman’s Candy Company has been making it for more than decade and it’s the finest peanut brittle around. (The chocolate covered variety is my personal favorite—find it on page 3.) So the fact that we’re selling a brittle made in someone else’s kitchen is saying something. The creative confectioners at Sweetdragon Baking Company have mastered the tricky twin aspects of brittle, flavor and texture.

This sublime edition comes from the craft chocolatiers at NeoCocoa. They set a mix of honey and sugar to boil then cool it quickly, trapping crunchy caramelized bubbles inside.

Virtual events, Real food PRIVATE, CUSTOM VIRTUAL EVENTS FOR YOUR TEAM OR CLIENT MEETINGS Make work +74% more exciting Thank your crew, break up the next four-hour conference call about EBITDA, or—dare we say it?—perhaps even have a bit of fun with your cohort.

How it works 1. Planning: Our Virtual Event Concierge will work with you to pick your time and date, the foods you’d like (think cheese tastings, reuben sandwich making classes, or whatever else you can dream up), and help coordinate all of the logistics. 2. Size limits: We usually keep each event to 50 people at most. If you have more than that we’re happy to host multiple sessions.

“We love ordering corporate gifts from Zingermans. Unlike ordering a [BLANKEDY BLANK] package where everything feels stale…the baskets we get from you are fresh and full of goodies people will actually eat!” STACEY, EAST LANSING, MI

3. Timeline: From our experience, it usually takes at least two weeks from the point of “Let’s do this!” to having the event. 4. Before the event: Your team members will get their shipments a couple of days before the event and, soon after, links to the Zoom invite and any pre-event instructions. 5. During the event: Our host and chat moderator will guide you through the virtual event where you will taste, learn about, and maybe even cook great food. You can invite us in for five minutes or up to an hour. 6. Pricing: The cost is the food (usually somewhere between $75–$200 per person), plus a $300 host fee.

Colleague Appreciation Gift Box Hearing “thanks!” is nice. Eating “thanks!” is even better. Show your colleagues how much you appreciate them for that time they got all hands on deck to grab that low-hanging fruit, or for consistently circling back to thinking outside the box, or for their laser beam focus on herding all those cats with synergy. Our fun, colorful gift box comes stuffed with a walnut-studded Magic Brownie and a no-nut Black Magic Brownie, plus three Mini Cookies: Oatmeal Raisin, Ginger Jump Up Molasses, and Chocolate Chunk.

STEAKS & CHOPS

Heritage Breed Pork Chop Flight

Just like tomatoes have a season, so do grass fed cattle. Lush summer grass makes for great tasting beef. Winter grass makes for less flavorful—and less tender—beef. At Carman Ranch in Oregon, the cattle spend their whole lives out on pasture eating grass, and they only produce beef when the grass is at its richest and the cattle are at their fattest. These strip steaks from Carman Ranch are deeply savory, with earthy flavor and a great mineral tang. Ships frozen. M-STP-2 2 steaks, 10–12 oz each $70 M-STP-4 4 steaks, 10–12 oz each $125

The breed of a pig has a huge impact on flavor. The heritage breeds, as they’re called, are hogs who’ve been bred to thrive in different climates and produce great tasting meat. They’re making a bit of a comeback these days. You can spot them called out by name on menus in restaurants or at butchers’ counters, if you’re lucky enough to still have a working butcher in your town. It’s rare to spot more than one breed in the case, though, let alone three, like in this flight of pork chops. Here’s your chance to set up a taste-off with friends among the most delicious chops you’ll find in America. Our airborne pork feast includes two each of three different breeds, six chops total: Red Wattle, known for its sweet flavor and meltingly delicious fat; Duroc, known for its complexity; and Ibérico, Spain’s iconic breed now raised in Georgia. In total, the box includes over four pounds of supremely flavorful pork, a one of a kind experience, ready for grilling. Ships frozen. G-PC3 6 pork chops, 4+ lbs total $135

BACON!

Nueske’s Applewood

Benton’s Tennessee Bacon

Hickory Smoked Duroc Bacon

There’s a reason this is our top seller. It is 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 slices it thickly just for us. M-BAC 1 lb sliced thickly $17

The most intense bacon we carry. Allan Benton starts with heritage Berkshire pork and dry cures it with salt and brown sugar for a full month, then smokes it over hickory for 48 hours. It’s powerful, and polarizing—people tend to either totally love it or think it’s way too much. M-BBT 1 lb sliced $20

Fourth-generation farmer Greg Gunthorp not only cures his own bacon—he also raises all the heritage-breed Duroc pigs himself on his pasture-based northern Indiana farm. Lightly smoky, a little sweet and all the way delicious. M-HKD 1 lb sliced $18 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

cheese!

French Comté from Fort St. Antoine

France’s most renowned mountain cheese, selected for us by Essex Street Cheese Co. from the caves of legendary affineur Maison Marcel Petite. Fudgy texture, well balanced, never bitey flavor, with a buttery, hazelnut taste that grows on the tongue and slowly expands to fill your entire mouth. A cheese that makes you want to come back to eat it again and again. C-COM by the pound $35 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

extra AgEd

Swiss Antique Gruyère These seventy-pound wheels are aged for over a year (at least six months longer than standard issue Gruyère), hence the term “antique.” The extra aging gives this Alpine cheese an exceptionally full flavor. Imagine the flavor of the Gruyère you know now but ten times more delicious and infinitely more interesting. Smooth, with the spiciness of a great Rhine wine. It’s got an incredible nose and a dry, yet creamy on the tongue texture. C-GRU by the pound $30 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

English Farmhouse Cheddar

milkshaKe chEesE

Dutch Brabander Goat Gouda From Southern Holland in the province of Brabant, home to many of the country's goat farms (goat's milk cheese is actually more popular than cow's milk in the Netherlands these days). Made from the pasteurized milk of Saanen goats, it's fresh tasting, with notes of caramel and cream. C-GGO by the pound $35

Montgomery’s is one of only three farms in its ancestral homeland making truly traditional farmhouse English cheddar from the unpasteurized milk of a single herd of Holstein Friesian cows who graze on hills thought to be the site of Camelot in Somerset in western England. These clothbound wheels age for more than a year until they’re flaky, golden, and have bold flavor that’s punchy, grassy, vegetal and brothy. A total revelation. C-EFC by the pound $42

We hand cut and wrap cheese to order. You won’t find a better, more carefully tended selection of cheese to ship anywhere. See more at zingermans.com

Made by Zingerman’s Pimento Cheese Spread

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

the king of cheEse

Giorgio Cravero’s Parmigiano Reggiano Giorgio Cravero’s family has been aging Parmigiano Reggiano in Bra, Italy since 1855. He focuses on soft, sweet flavors, the kind of Parmesan you want to eat all on its own (though it’s excellent for grating over pasta, too). The cheese we buy comes exclusively from the San Pietro dairy, located high in the hills above Modena. The diverse herbs and grasses at that high altitude makes for especially flavorful milk, which in turn makes for especially flavorful cheese—a quality noted by this Parmesan’s rare designation as a Prodotto di Montagna. C-VER by the pound $35 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

no wax, NO problem

Essex Manchego

Essex Manchego is one of Spain’s only farmhouse, raw milk, unwaxed Manchegos. Unwaxed refers to the rind and for the most part, cheese rinds seem to be one of those cheesemaking details that only get the attention of cheesemongers and makers. They have a tremendous effect on flavor and texture, though. The active cultures in cheese cause it to breathe. When the rind is waxed it holds those effects in, often resulting in off-flavored, harsh tasting cheeses. Unwaxed Essex Manchego, on the other hand, has a lovely, dry crumble and never tastes bitey. It goes down smooth, with the unmistakable sweetness of sheep’s milk and a long savory finish that pairs well with almonds and plums and, of course, Spanish ham. C-EMA by the pound $40 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

hip name, traditional cheese Funky Monk The Trappist monks of Belgium influenced the world of beer and cheese in ways we’re still enjoying today. One method of ripening cheese is to “wash” the outside of the wheel with a brine or other liquid. The Trappist monks washed their cheese with the beer they made, imparting the flavors of one into the other. Traditionally these cheeses were intense, with strong flavors and aromas to match. Yet this monk drops that funk. Cheesemaker Johan Deweer (not a monk) has tempered the more boisterous characteristics of a Trappist style cheese. It’s still savory and rich, but there’s a sweetness that mellows out the sharper notes. Let the cheese breathe a bit before serving then watch it win the cheese plate.

cult classic

Maussane Olive Oil 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.” O-MAU 500 ml bottle $45 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

a lOve aFfair Alziari Olive Oil

It's now been over two decades since I first fell in love with Alziari, the old shop in the historic center of Nice, on France’s Côte d’Azur. Their extra virgin olive oil is exceptional and typically Niçoise—light, flowery and elegant but still full of character and charisma. I could use the same phrase to describe the tin it comes in. It's such a beautiful package that it makes one of the best gifts from our catalog; it needs no wrapping. O-ALZ 1 liter tin $60 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

Zingerman’s House Olive Oil Peranzana Olive Oil

Zingerman’s extra virgin 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.

angels share

Agrumato Lemon Oil I keep imagining that if I went to heaven, I’d discover this to be the oil the angels put on their salads. Smooth and olive-y with a lemoniness that tickles your nose like the bubbles of a fine champagne. This is not lemon flavored oil but the traditional pressing of olives and lemons together—oil of the fruit married to oil of the olive in an ethereal combination. You can do most anything with Agrumato lemon you’d do with other oils and then some. It’s fantastic brushed on top of almost any just-broiled fish. O-AGR 200 ml bottle $36 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

vinegars balsAmic from la vecChia dIspenSA

Italian Balsamic Showstopper You don’t have to be a balsamic sommelier to taste the difference between these amazing vinegars. As balsamics age, they go from being bright and tart to taking on a sweeter, more raisin-y flavor and a thicker, more syrupy texture. The young balsamics are better for vinaigrettes; the older ones are killer drizzled on cheese or berries. This collection of four bottles from our longtime source for balsamic, La Vecchia Dispensa in Modena, Italy, range in age from 10 to 30 years. Nestled in a beautiful box, they make a stunning gift. V-WB4 four bottles, 100 ml each $150

Working just off the historic square in the center of the old town of Castelvetro, southwest of Modena, Italy, Roberta Pelloni, her husband Marino Tintori, and their son Simone make a range of great vinegars. Although Americans tend to gravitate toward sweet caramel-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.

6 Year Aged Cognac Vinegar

Sanchez Romate draws upon 300 years of experience making sherry and sherry vinegar to blend different ages of vinegar (from three to fifty years old) to create a sweet, soft, mouth-tingling flavor. It became a staple in my home long ago, but for centuries before that it became the choice of the royal family of Spain—and the Vatican. Add a few drops to creamy tomato soup or a cold gazpacho. Drop a dash on a salad of ripe, sweet, summer tomatoes. Mix it into a classic cocktail sauce and stand back for the fireworks. V-25Y 750 ml bottle $30

The fresh-pressed juice of Ugni Blanc grapes is reduced in copper kettles, then aged in oak barrels formerly used to age Cognac. This vinegar is smooth, complex, a little sweet with a finish that seems to linger for hours. It’s light on the tongue and versatile in the kitchen. V-CGN 200 ml bottle $39 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

Our Best SelLing tinNed fish Ortiz Tunas from Biscay

ortiz tunas Bonito Loin P-ORT

Tuna is one of the most popular foods we sell. It may seem surprising because here in the U.S., tinned tuna is a low-end commodity usually sold in supermarkets. In Spain it’s at the complete opposite of the culinary spectrum. Tuna in tins, especially these from the fourth-generation family firm Ortiz, is one of the jewels in Spain's culinary crown. Ortiz's fish are all line caught—not netted—hand filleted at sea and quickly tinned by hand in good olive oil. The olive oil is key. It adds flavor and makes the texture silky over time, unlike water, which tends to leach flavors from the fish. We went to Spain and selected a single great batch of Bonito loin, our best seller, for fullness of flavor, silky texture, and lingering sweetness.

Michigan may be known as the cherry capital of the world, but this man from the Mitten picks whitefish spread as Michigan’s greatest culinary legacy. Like eating lobster in Maine, Michiganders enjoy whitefish in all its splendor when we head “up north” for vacation along the third coast. Like other regional foods, everyone has their favorite. This smooth, creamy version from the tiny fishing village of Leland (aka Fishtown) is mine. We worked with the maker, Lori LaClair, to come up with a recipe we all think highlights the flavor of the fish and the art of the smoke. Made with fresh caught fillets of whitefish straight out of Lake Michigan, this spread is the perfect accompaniment with crackers, some fresh (or dried) cherries, and a crisp glass of cool wine.

Bacon Club Our bacon club has been lauded by chefs, sous chefs, home chefs, pork-o-philes and bacon freaks all over America. It’s our most popular food club by far and it’s not just the novelty of bacon-by-mail that makes it so loved. The bacons are downright amazing. It’s hard to find any of these bacons in most shops, let alone all of them. They represent the pinnacle of American bacon making and, let’s be honest, this is one food that no one in the world does better than us. Sorry Europe, it’s true. Your Parmigiano Reggiano and your Champagnes are great, but you can’t touch our bacon.

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 crew.

Pork & Pistachio Pâté

wash away the sins

Awakened Salted Walnuts

What’s an “awakened” walnut and why would you want them? Awaking the nuts is a fancy name for the process of “sprouting” nuts and grains. The abridged version goes like this: soak raw nuts in water which triggers the germination process. This reduces the walnut’s enzyme inhibitors that make nuts hard for some of us to digest. They still taste like delicious walnuts, just easier for the body to process and more nutrients are accessible. The walnuts are rinsed in a light sea salt brine and dried to give them a cracking good crunch on the outside and meaty walnut goodness on the inside. A snack and salad revelation.

sweet aloha ‘Ohi‘a Lehua Honey

Story has it that one upon a time, Pele, the Hawaiian volcano goddess, fell in love with a man named ‘Ohi‘a. Unfortunately for Pele, ‘Ohi‘a turned down her advances, because he was already in love with a woman named Lehua. Angry and jealous, Pele transformed ‘Ohi‘a into a gnarled tree. Devastated, Lehua cried to the gods to reunite her with her lover. They acquiesed and made Lehua a bright, colorful flower on the tree. Found throughout the Hawaiian islands, ‘Ohi‘a Lehua trees bloom everywhere from newly formed bare volcanic rocks to thickly rainforested mountaintops. When bees visit the flowers, the honey they make is sublime: a luscious, creamy, buttery texture holds a sweetness akin to caramel with a soft yet bright burst in the finish. A true taste of paradise. P-OLH 9 oz jar $18 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

tantAlizing taste from Greece

Goutis Estate Olive Oil

Greece has a looooong history with olive oil, but much of the accolades and acclaim of the past few decades have been showered on Italian, Spanish and French oils. After tasting this oil from Goutis Estate near the village of Kallithea, I think things are finally starting to change. This particular oil (named Bitter Grey for some poetic reason, I’m sure) is made from the pressing of one type of olive only: the local variety Nemoutiana-Horaitiki. The oil is a roller coaster of flavor that you’ll want to ride again and again. It starts out smooth and buttery, then the bitterness builds to a punch before dropping you into a finish of bright, sharp black pepper notes. Wonderfully wild and complex.

Caponi Pappardelle Pasta

dark & Delicious

Ekone Tinned Smoked Oysters I cherished smoked oysters as a kid. My grandfather introduced me to the smoky, savory little treasures in a tin and I’ve been a fan ever since. So when I tell you that these fresh smoked oysters from Willapa Bay in Washington State are my all time favorite, you know I’m speaking from experience. The harvested oysters are steamed, shucked and brined in small batches, then delicately smoked over maple wood to preserve and bolster their flavor. Amazingly, you can taste the oyster even with the infusion of smoke. A treat for any oyster lover. P-ESO 3 oz tin $20

Making truly great tasting pasta takes time. Industrial pasta producers can mill, mix, and dry thousands of pounds of finished noodles in a matter of hours, but the pasta turns out slick and bland. That’s the opposite of Caponi, a stupendous pastaficio (pasta maker) in Tuscany. Once the egg and flour dough is mixed and formed into the long, flat pappardelle shape (similar to linguine), the team at Caponi takes nearly three days to dry their pasta. The result is a noodle that’s toothsome. They chew, not mush or break apart. And most importantly they have flavor: nutty, toasty, delicious. P-PPD 250 g box $14 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

Super Rare about our Super Rare Food Finds We’ve never trucked in the foods you can find in every corner store. But every once in a while, we come across one that’s so uncommon, and so special, it stops us in our tracks. These are often the foods we’re the most excited about—and the ones that are trickiest to sell, simply because they’re only available in such limited quantities. If these catch your attention, don’t wait to try them. When they sell out, there’s no telling when we may be able to get them back again.

one of a kind

Ayako Family Black Pearl Plum Jam Katsumi Taki started his career as a biologist, but today he organically farms a dozen varieties of wild and heirloom plums on a centuries-old orchard in Washington state. He puts his scientific skills to use creating new plum varieties, carefully grafting his trees and then patiently waiting several years until the new plums are ready to harvest. The Black Pearl plum is an exceptional example of his extraordinary new varieties, but since Katsumi’s orchard is the only place on the planet where it’s grown, we might never get the chance to try it if it weren’t for his long friendship and partnership with Ayako Gordon and her daughter, Alessandra. After Ayako and Katsumi met at the farmer’s market years ago, Ayako began making jams celebrating the best of Katsumi’s fruit; today, Alessandra continues in her mother’s footsteps. The Black Pearl jam is unlike any plum jam I’ve ever had. Bold burgundy in color, it’s smooth and luscious with deep berry flavors balanced by a bright tartness. Enjoy it spread on toast, swirled into yogurt, or go for a sweet and savory vibe by adding it to a grilled cheese sandwich. P-AYP 6 oz jar $25 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

meticulous marmalade

Robert Lambert’s Rangpur Lime Marmalade If I wrote my own dictionary, the entry for “meticulous” would just be a picture of Robert Lambert. During the two decades he’s been making extraordinary preserves, syrups, and fruit cakes (find them all at zingermans.com) from rare California citrus, occasionally Robert has tried hiring someone to help out. But no one ever makes the products just exactly the way he would—they don’t cut every citrus rind to precisely the right, perfectly consistent size, say. Inevitably, before long he’s back to being a one-man operation. Since he does everything himself, you might expect Robert would take the easy route and buy the fruit he zests, chops, candies, and preserves from a local distributor. But remember, this man is the definition of meticulous. Even sourcing ingredients is practically a Herculean feat in Robert’s hands. Take the Rangpur lime, a rare citrus that looks like a mandarin orange but tastes like an intesely sour, smoky lime. It took him years to track down enough folks with Rangpur limes—including one 90-something year old lady with just a couple of trees—to make this marmalade. It was worth the wait, though. The marmalade is spectacular: not too sweet, not too bitter, very fresh and tangy, with a lovely smooth texture. It’s a phenomenal addition to toast, gooey cheeses, marinades, or even stirred into cocktails. P-RGM 8 oz jar $30 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

Fairy tale honey Jara Honey

In the Ajara region of Georgia (the country, not the state), a very few hardy beekeepers still practice an ancient, traditional method of making honey. The story reads like a fairytale. The beekeepers start by making a beehive, hollowing out a linden tree log by hand with an axe. The hollowed logs are taken on a steep trek high into the mountains, then placed even higher up on ledges carved into the sheer, rocky face of cliffs, reachable only by ladder. The inaccessible location has two advantages. One, it keeps the honey safe from bears. And two, the diversity of flora in the forests that blanket the mountainsides gives the bees a smorgasbord of nectars with which to make their honey. Once a year in the spring, the beekeepers hike to the hives and carry back half the honeycombs, leaving the other half for the bees. This is the white peacock of honeys, exceptionally rare. It’s almost never seen outside of the Jara region. But it’s not just the story that makes it special. Each jar, filled with a deep, dark honey and a small chunk of honeycomb, offers a deep, toasty flavor with all the richness of the Georgian mountainsides. Savor it on toast, atop soft cheeses, or stirred into tea. P-JRH 520 g jar $40 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

Puglian Olive Oils

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 (find them at zingermans.com), 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. Each artisan makes only a few per hour, making them as precious as the outstanding olive oil they hold. 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 hand-painted, vibrant 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.

for mature audiences only

Calissanne Olive Oil

Put simply: this oil stands alone amidst the dozens of olive oils we sell. Most oil producers press green (unripe) olives because the riper the olives on the tree, the higher the chance you’ll press overly ripe olives and that can lead to rancidity. One bad olive could spoil the whole lot. Thankfully they have their timing down at Château Calissanne. Using traditional Provençal varietals and techniques, they harvest aglandau and salonenque olives late in the season when they’re very mature, and then ferment them for four to five days before pressing. The result is an oil tastes that like no other. Instead of grassy and bitter notes like you taste in many Italian and Spanish oils, this one is deep, earthy, with all the rich, savory quality of excellent black olives. It’s ideal in richer dishes, like drizzling over a thick ribeye steak hot off the grill. Or use it for luxe vinaigrettes or marinades. O-CSN 500 ml bottle $35 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

Halva is a staple around the Mediterranean and at Jewish delis in the states. It’s a confection made of ground sesame seeds—AKA tahini—plus sugar and extra flavorings. The result is this ethereal, airy, nutty, candyfloss-like paste that’s spreadable or spoonable or sliceable and just delicious. This version, from Hebel & Co. in Los Angeles, is chock full of toasty pistachios, then gets an extra kick from a not-so-secret ingredient: nigella seeds. Think of them as a cross between a caraway seed and black pepper. It’s a complex spice, giving the halva an earthy, peppery, bright, sweet, floral type of flavor and aroma.

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.

saronNo’s sweet

Amaretti del Chiostro Cookies For almost three centuries, way up in Lombardy near the Swiss border, the Lazzaroni family has made this simple, unique almond cookie. The secret ingredient is apricot “kernels” (here we call them “pits,” but the Italians have such a nice way with language). They add a tiny edge of refreshing bitterness to the crispy, crunchy, nutty cookie. A bright, fun gift tin holds about twenty almond cookies, each individually wrapped in beautiful wax bakery paper.

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 overwritten all those childhood bark memories. 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.

creative caramels

Goat's Milk Caramels from Vermont Big Picture Farm started in 2010 with a small herd of goats in the hills of southern Vermont. They use their fresh goat’s milk in their little creamery and confectionery. Their caramels have won a huge following of fans, including me. Caramels made with goat’s milk have a softer texture than traditional caramels, so you won’t lose a crown chewing one. Their flavor has bright notes on top of a big bass line of burnt sugar. Four flavors in each box: Sea Salt & Bourbon Vanilla, Maple Cream, Chai and Cocoa Latte. P-GMC 20 caramels, 5.2 oz box $30 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

The new christmas ham Heritage Hams from Indiana

The meat masters at Smoking Goose in Indianapolis start this ham with heritage Duroc-breed pork from Gunthorp Farm in northern Indiana. The pigs are raised out on pasture with plenty of room to root and roam, and they’re never given antibiotics or hormones. The hams are cured with pepper, coriander, mustard seed, honey, bay leaf and Shelby Blue Ribbon Cider, a strawberry-rhubarb cider from New Day Meadery in Indianapolis. The flavor is a knockout. Sweet and complex, with a smooth smokiness that lingers long after you put down your fork. The hams are fully cooked and ready to eat right away. Most people simply heat them up and they’re ready to be the centerpiece for a big meal. A Zingerman’s exclusive, available only for the holiday season. M-SGH 4–5 lbs, boneless, unsliced, serves 8–10 $110 M-SGH-L 7–9 lbs, boneless, unsliced, serves 15–20 $185

Hot Chocolates

Angelina Drinking Chocolate from Paris

Zingerman’s Hot Cocoa from Ann Arbor

In the heart of Paris, the jewelbox tea salon Angelina serves astonishingly delicious hot chocolate: incredibly rich, with deep, intense chocolate flavor. Sipping a mug of it is an event to remember. But if a quick jaunt to Paris isn’t an option, the next best option is to sip a bottle of it at home. It’s like those bottles of milky coffee from that famous Seattle brand, but twice as big and full of impossibly rich drinking chocolate. Heat the bottle up in a water bath and you’re in business. P-ADC 480 ml bottle $28 4 or more bottles, $25 each

The cocoa connoisseurs at Zingerman’s Delicatessen spent months blending, tweaking, and sipping to develop our house hot cocoa mix. Made with Scharffen Berger chocolate, it’s got deep flavor without being overwhelming. Great for everyone in the family, especially kids in après-sled mode. To level up to hot cocoa 2.0, pair the hot cocoa with a bag of 15 fluffy, jumbo handmade vanilla marshmallows from Zingerman’s Candy Manufactory, packed together in our colorful cartoon gift box.

It’s Back! The once-a-year loaf Cranberry Pecan Bread

Loaded with dried cranberries and toasted pecans, this loaf is the kissing cousin to our extremely popular Pecan Raisin Bread (page 18). Dense, chewy and crunchy, cranberry pecan has a tart tang that’s very enjoyable. Sliced thin, it’s great on a cheese board. It’s also great to toss in the bread basket for dinner. And—stay with me here—it’s an excellent shell for an adventurous chicken (or turkey!) salad sandwich. B-CRA 1¼ lb handmade loaf $19 SHIPS 2 BUSINESS DAY ©2021 DSE Inc.
