Featuring the once-a year holiday favorite, Cranberry Pecan Bread, baked by us in Ann Arbor.
Around Ann Arbor, Cranberry Pecan Bread is a holiday classic. We load each loaf with over half a pound of dried cranberries and toasty pecans, all stuffed in a tangy, naturally leavened bread dough made from organic flour. Making a loaf takes 18 hours, giving loads of time for flavor development. Eating a loaf with a hungry group often takes less than 18 minutes. 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. Toasted with a smear of good butter, it’s hard to beat for breakfast. And—stay with me here—it’s an excellent shell for an adventurous chicken salad sandwich.

NOV
There are now a few farmers in America 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 heritage KellyBronze 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.

At Jasper Hill Farm, after aging for eight months, wheels of Calderwood cheese are coated in a layer of the the same hay the milking cows eat (with a couple slight modifications—the hay is cut into smaller pieces and sterilized). Then the wheels age for another four to six months. The hay imparts the cheese with a toasty aroma while giving the rind a visual character that stands out. Like the great mountain cheeses of Europe, it’s nutty, complex, sweet, toasty, and fruity.

From Tulip Tree Creamery in Indiana, Trillium is a soft, triple cream cheese that stands out. Made with pasteurized cow’s milk from a nearby farm, the texture is silky and luscious and the flavor is buttery soft, ultra rich and gently sweet. And to gild the lily, try a wedge alongside a few Italian wild cherries. Pitted and preserved in a simple syrup, the cherries retain their fresh tang and make a stunning counterpoint to the cheese.

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.
Like bread pudding made with pasta instead of bread, our kugel is made with egg noodles, farm cheese from Zingerman’s Creamery, plenty of plump Red Flame raisins, plus a generous dose of real vanilla. Everything is blended together and baked to a golden brown. Great for breakfast, lunch, dessert or really any time you just want something good to eat. Great cold. Even better warmed up.

Our coffee cakes have such a magnetic attraction I sometimes think I could write about them in invisible ink and they’d still be our top sellers. They’re the classic Zingerman’s gift, guaranteed to please any palate. 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.
This is a Zingerman’s classic and perennially our most popular gift: rich and moist, made with organic flour, loaded with Indonesian cinnamon and toasted walnuts, baked in a traditional bundt pan.
Dark, super moist, marvelously gingery flavor. Made with crystallized and ground ginger, lots of dark molasses, coffee, fresh orange juice, Indonesian cinnamon, cloves and Balinese long pepper.
We start with the batter for our luscious, rich Sweet Butter Tea Cake (find it at zingermans.com), then fold in blackberries, blueberries, raspberries, and cranberries. Buttery, fresh, fruity, and flavorful.

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

We send thousands of loaves to bread lovers nationwide. And the only thing better than getting one gift of bread by mail is getting month after month of bread by mail.
We offer three different bread clubs:
The Artisan Bread Club includes loaves that show the full range of Zingerman’s baking, from classic to sweet to savory and everything in between.

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.

Our bacon club has been lauded by chefs, sous chefs, home chefs, porko-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.

Strip steaks—also known as Kansas City strips, top loin or strip loin steaks—are a perennial favorite because they strike a balance between being tender and packed with flavor. They’re equally outstanding on the grill or in a cast iron pan on the stove top.

There are probably more versions of pimento cheese spread in the South than there are grandmothers. The classic version from Zingerman’s Creamery is a salty/tangy/spicy mix of Cheddar, Hellmann’s mayo, pimento peppers and spices. At the table it 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.

Cheddar was originally wrapped in cloth, not dipped in wax. 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 with a beefy, brothy flavor. Aged at least 9 months, it’s a sturdy cheese with a complex, lingering finish you can’t shake.

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.

Made from the milk of a single herd of cows that graze on the rolling Wisconsin hillsides. After aging for a year, the flavor is like a European mountain cheese: fruity in an apple-y sort of way, rich, deep. Production is small—about 6,000 wheels a year. We work closely with maker Andy Hatch, tasting together to select specific days of cheese to pick the most flavorful wheels. y the pound $39

Smooth and olive-y with a lemoniness that tickles your nose like the bubbles of a fine champagne.

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.

The first oil is from the estate of Elia Pellegrino. Called TyPuglia, it comes in a limited edition ceramic bottle made in the studio of Elia’s friend, Michele Cataldo. Choose your color: tomato red or sky blue. The second oil is from Frantoio Muraglia, and comes in a vibrant, colorful striped bottle.
Each bottle makes a stunning gift, and the oils inside can stand up to beans, pasta, red meats, or fresh tomatoes smashed on crusty toast.

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.

Davide Barbero’s family has been making torrone hazelnut nougat—what I call Italian brittle—for five generations, since 1883 in the town of Asti. Neither the history nor repetitiveness seems to dull his passion. When you ask him about torrone his eyes light up and he talks in fast, clipped English. “We don’t kill the torrone! Industrial makers use no egg whites and they crank out a batch in an hour. They beat the mixture fast and use lots of pressure. Ours takes seven hours. We break for lunch! All of this makes our texture crumbly, not hard and tough. Here, take a bite, you can taste.” First off, you gotta love the fact that he mentions lunch as a factor in how they make better food. More importantly, he’s spot on, especially when it comes to texture. Barbero torrone is gently crumbly, in a shattering, delicate way. Spiked with loads of famous Piedmontese hazelnuts that are roasted in house every morning, then hand selected and folded into the nougat. In their classic Northern Italian graphic-designed tin they make great gifts. Or the 8-inch long bar, enrobed in chocolate, makes a great stocking stuffer.

You know it’s Christmas in Italy when the panettoni start appearing in shop windows. They’re the fluffy, tall cakes that are seasoned with candied citrus and packaged as beautifully as a present for the Contessa. We’ve had great traditional Italian panettone every Christmas since our doors opened in 1982.
If Italy had to elect a national Christmas dessert, this would be the top candidate. The texture is as fluffy as a pillow, the candied citrus-studded dough peels off in strips like cotton candy. What you can’t finish after dinner makes fantastic French toast.

It has a fudgy texture and a well balanced, never bitey flavor, with a buttery, hazelnut taste that grows on the tongue and slowly expands to fill your entire mouth. Or just for the holidays, the extra aged version spends about 18 months maturing. The extra time intensifies the flavor, giving it a slightly firmer texture and a flavor that pushes toward more powerful, savory notes.

Sweet, juicy plums from Agen, the undisputed plum capital of France, are dried till they’re toothsome and the sweetness is concentrated, rich, and caramelly. The pits are removed, and then they’re stuffed one of two ways. First up, Plum Stuffed: the plums are filled with a velvety mousse made of their own fruit pureed with a smidge of sugar, lemon, and vanilla, then laid in a blue and gold tin. Or second, Chocolate Stuffed: the plums are filled with a ganache made from their own fruit blended with silky Belgian chocolate, then packed in a handsome red box. Both make for traditional, seriously flavorful gifts.

Alziari has been making olive oil in Nice, in the heart of France’s gorgeous riviera, since 1868.

Now, just for the holidays, they’ve packaged their oil in a festive, Christmas-themed tin, ready for gifting without any wrap. Drizzle it over baked fish, use it for dipping bread, glug it over roast vegetables, or whip it into a silky vinaigrette.

From the Périgord region of southwestern France, where walnut orchards blanket the landscape and the locals make walnut everything, from cakes to wine to salami. Here, the walnuts are toasted, then caramelized, then enveloped in a coat of dark chocolate as thick as the walnut itself, then dusted with cocoa powder. The effect is more than just an accretion of flavor, it’s like an explosion. They’re rich, nutty, so chocolatey, a little crunchy and yet they melt in your mouth.

Few foods are more famed in the culinary world than truffles and as a result, it gets copied and adulterated in all sorts of ways. Some companies use chemical flavorings or questionable oils to mimic the flavor of truffles and capitalize on their popularity, but they taste terrible. As a result, I—a professional food selector—have become wary of truffle flavored products. So it means something more when I say: this is good truffle cheese. Made by Maria José in La Mancha, this raw milk sheep’s milk cheese was smooth and nutty and sweet before, but now it has a deep earthy character thanks to the addition of real shaved truffles (not oil). Rare, limited, wonderful. Grab some before it’s gone.

Day in and day out, Ortiz tuna from Spain is one of our best selling foods (find it at zingermans.com). It might seem surprising until you know that while tinned fish is often considered a cheap commodity in the US, in Spain it’s one of the culinary crown jewels. At fourth-generation family firm Ortiz, the fish are all line caught—not netted—hand cleaned and tinned in good olive oil. The olive oil is key. It adds flavor and makes the texture silky over time. Just for the holidays, the same classic tuna we’ve loved has gotten a dressed up for the season in a Christmas-themed box. It makes a super stocking stuffer for the tinned fish afficionado on your list.

Stilton has been the traditional Christmas cheese of England for centuries. Its deep, warm flavor pacifies the chill of December. Early winter also happens to be the time of the year it tastes best, the lush summer milk cheeses having ripened for half a year or so.

While England’s national holiday cake has become a cheap industrial laughing stock, these are another species altogether.
Crafted by Robert Lambert in Wisconsin from rare citrus that he candies himself, a slice cut thin while the cake is cool looks like a stained glass window and is a taste revelation.
Robert’s classic cake, based on his grandmother Flora’s reciope. 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.

From the culture that brought you fruitcake comes another muchscorned holiday food tradition: Christmas pudding. But just as there’s good fruitcake and disappointing fruitcake, the same goes for pudding. This particularly good pudding comes to us from Thursday Cottage in Essex. They craft it in the classic Victorian way, with dried currants and red and white raisins that are soaked in Cognac to intensify their flavor and give them a juicier texture. They deploy their own orange marmalade (they’re a preserve maker first) as well as sugar, citrus peels, cinnamon, cloves, ginger, another touch of Cognac, and just enough flour to hold it all together. It’s traditional to steam the pudding for a couple of hours before serving, but Victorians didn’t have microwaves and they work too. Serve for dessert in thin slices drizzled with hot brandy butter—or some warmed maple syrup if that’s what you have.

Sandy Lee fell in love with lebkuchen, the traditional German Christmas cookie, while living in Berlin. The recipe dates back to Medieval times and is made with almond and hazelnut flours, whole almonds, egg whites, honey, marzipan and a bevy of spices. Gently spicy, sweet, and very nutty, with a consistency between cake and marzipan, they’re the perfect after dinner treat. Each tin holds five glazed cookies about four inches across and an inch tall. Three are studded with almonds (classic variety) and two are cloaked in dark chocolate. Our exclusive Zingerman’s wintry forest decorated tin holds soft, moist, traditional lebkuchen made with wheat flour.

Made for decades by the sisters of St. Benedict Monastery of Ferdinand, Indiana. Springerle cookies originated in the Swabia region of southwestern Germany. Images and icons are pressed into the dough before baking, and then the dough is allowed to dry for up to eighteen hours. That extra time drying gives the cookie a hearty texture. They have a slight anise flavor without being overly sweet. Traditionally served for Christmas, they’re great for dipping in coffee or to please the lovers of old world flavors.

Almost anyone can make a sweet breakfast roll smell good while it’s bak even among the cell phone kiosks at the mall. Unfortunately, most have little more than aroma to offer. You don’t taste much beyond sugar. The real challenge is to fashion one that tastes as good as it smells. These fit the bill. Warm them up, break one open and put your nose up close—you’ll smell really great ingredients. And once you take a bite, you’ll really taste the difference. The brilliant bakers at Zingerman’s Bakehouse make two versions. Each starts with a sweet, buttery brioche dough made with Wisconsin butter and real vanilla.

Forget the pineapple. These hams are showstoppers without the extra garnishes. Smoking Goose is a fantastic producer of slow cured and smoked meats, salumi, and sausages in Indianapolis. They are conscientious about the sourcing of all the meat they use, working only with farmers who meet their standards for ethics and sustainability. To make these Peach Smoked Hams, they’ve taken that attention to detail a step further by sourcing all of the pork from a single farm: Gunthorp Farms in northern Indiana.
Greg Gunthorp is a 4th generation pig farmer. He raises heritage Duroc breed pigs that spend their whole lives out rooting around on pasture. He never uses any hormones or antibiotics. Greg’s attention to detail pays off with huge flavor—his Duroc pork is earthy, nutty, bold, yet clean and juicy.
The team at Smoking Goose takes the raw Duroc hams and cures them with pepper, coriander, mustard seed, honey, bay leaf and a dose of mead from Arvins Acres, a nearby meadery in Delphi, Indiana. Then they slowly smoke the hams over peach wood. The flavor is a knockout. Sweet and complex, with a smooth smokiness that lingers long after you put down your fork. The hams are fully cooked and ready to eat right away.
A Zingerman’s exclusive. The hams are boneless and unsliced. Shipped frozen. May take a day to defrost, or may arrive thawed and ready to stash in the fridge.

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

Angelina, the jewelbox tea salon on the Rue de Rivoli, serves the best hot chocolate in Paris. It’s incredibly rich, with deep, intense chocolate flavor. If a quick jaunt to Paris for a cup of hot chocolate isn’t an option, the next best option is to make it at home for yourself. Choose from two versions: classic cocoa mix to make with your own milk, or a bottle of molten chocolate ready to heat and sip.
