christmas tradition Zingerman’s Holiday Stollen Our delicious German style holiday cake is a long-standing Zingerman’s holiday tradition for folks looking for unique dessert ideas, great gifts and fine food for weekend brunch. If you haven’t had Stollen and wonder what all the fuss is about, just take a look at the ingredients: real butter, Bacardi® white rum, glacéed lemons, oranges, cherries, fresh lemon and orange zest, fresh lemon juice, almonds, golden raisins, Red Flame raisins, real vanilla beans and our very scent-sual Indonesian cinnamon. Toasted and spread with a little sweet butter, it’s delicious and is perhaps rivaled only by our own coffeecake (p. 8) as a great afternoon snack cake. Each Stollen comes gift boxed, serves 6-8 and, barring extensive snacking, lasts for weeks. G-STO gift boxed stollen $40 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

a cake of a difFerent caliber Robert Lambert’s Rare Citrus Fruit Cake Full disclosure: the price on this cake may cause sticker shock. Where most fruit cakes are cheap, somewhat industrial and terrible, this is another species altogether. It's by far the best of its kind I’ve ever tried. Robert told me, “The recipe is British, Victorian era. It’s based on my grandmother Flora's cake, but instead of the store-bought glacéed fruits she used I make my own candied fruit.” He chooses blood oranges, bergamots, Rangpur limes and more, many that he picks himself. Each cake is soaked in cognac and aged for a few months, then garnished with a slice of candied fruit and a bay leaf, all wrapped gently in cheese cloth. A slice cut thin while the cake is cool—he recommends serving it chilled—looks like a stained glass window and tastes fresh, clean and lively. P-KUY fruit cake, six inches long, serves 8-10, gift tin $65 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

it ain't no jOke Vintage Fruit Cake If you already consider fruit cake a joke the idea of a vintage fruit cake must seem like a real marketer’s whopper. Selling last year’s fruit cakes? Yes, that’s exactly what we’re doing. In 2011 Robert Lambert made seventy-five of his rare citrus fruit cakes to age. He cellared them in California. Over the last year the flavor has developed, expanded and gotten more complex. Like a wine that was fun while young, more serious now that its aged, these fruit cakes have become a real fruit cake lover’s treat. Get yours quick. Gift boxed.

italy’s chrIStmas Cake Panettone from Italy

The feathery-light, candied citrus-studded cake that’s found in storefront windows and many, many dessert tables across Italy during December. If Italy had to elect a national Christmas dessert, this would be the candidate. The texture is very fluffy like a soft pillow, the dough peels off in long strips like cotton candy. What you can’t finish after dinner turns into incredible fodder for French toast. Wrapped and ribboned, perfect for gifting. P-ANE 750 g, serves 10-12 $49 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

northern iTalIan nOugat Torrone Nougat from Italy

David Barbero’s family has been making torrone (hazelnut nougat) since 1883 in the town of Asti, but that hasn’t seemed to dull his passion for it. When you ask him about nougat 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! We use real egg whites. All of this makes our texture crumbly, not hard and tough. Here, take a bite, you can taste.” He is right, and I love the fact that he mentions lunch. Barbero torrone is gently crumbly, delicious, spiked with loads of famous Piemontese hazelnuts. And in this classic Northern Italian graphic-designed tin (500 g tin illustrated), it makes a great gift.

Marrons Glacés from Italy

One French expat who used to work at our Deli told me he would “crawl a mile on his hands and knees for these marrons glacés.” You don't have to go to such extremes, but I'd definitely recommend trying them. Despite the French name, marrons glacés are an invention of Northern Italy’s Piedmont region. Having tasted a whole bunch of them over many years, I can confidently say that the ones the Bardini brothers make near the town of Cuneo are my favorites. The chestnuts are aged for a week while submerged in water in underground caves. Later, they soak in a vanilla-scented sugar syrup bath, during which time the syrup is slowly pulled into the center of the chestnut. Last, they’re rolled in sugar and boxed. A surefire gift success with anyone of European origin and a great gift for chestnut lovers of any origin. P-MRN box of 8 marrons glacés $45 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

Clementines in Chocolate from Italy A rarely seen specialty from Calabria. The Favella Masseria Ranch is located near Sibari in Southern Italy, which, if you’re up on ancient Greek history, you might recognize as the place where the Sybarites lived. These clementines in chocolate fit right into the Sybarites’ hedonistic tradition: spectacular Calabrian oranges, soaked in a constantly refreshed bath of simple syrup for three weeks, cut in quarters, smothered in dark chocolate. Each piece is the size of a large chocolate truffle. If you slide it in your mouth all at once, the luscious orange syrup won’t drip down your chin. Better yet, be a Sybarite. Let it drip.

The berry flavors taste like ripe fruits that have just been put in the jam jar. The citrus flavors remind me of warm, sugared candied peels. And the sour cherry is my favorite.

the next best thing Crespone and Felino Salamis

Living in America we are forbidden from importing Cuban cigars, Iranian saffron—and Italian salami. I know, the salami ban makes little sense to me, either. But the FDA makes the rules. We're left with the next best thing which, to be honest, has gotten quite good: the cured meets from the recipes of Francois Vecchio. The salamis, made in the style of Verona (crespone) and Parma (felino) are coarse cut creations, made from premium meats are hand sorted into very thick, natural pork casings. The casings let the meat age more slowly. Time costs money, of course, but it’s worth it, offering up a salami that's sweeter, more soft and succulent and more perfumed than any around. We ship them whole. You trim the casing (it’s OK to eat, but I prefer to peel it off) and slice what you'd like. Serve at room temperature, cut into thick coins for maximum flavor.

The pork fanatic's pork Ibérico Bellota Cured Pork Loin

Shocking. There’s no other way to describe the experience of first tasting cured bellota pork—in this case, the loin made from heirloom Ibérico pigs who’ve feasted on bellotas (acorns) the last months of their lives. Even in Spain, where bellota pork is more common, eating it is a very special event. The acorn diet has a magical effect on the meat’s texture. It appears to lower the fat’s melting point to body temperature. Eating a thin slice is like placing a piece of chocolate on your tongue. It immediately puddles, the flavor releasing itself in the process. A cut of loin is about a foot long, the thickness of a baseball bat handle. It’s riddled with fat: tiny, creamy white flecks among the rosy flesh. Outside it’s coated in paprika which, while not spicy, gives each bite a tiny peppery tingle. Unbelievable stuff.

Broadbent Cured Kentucky Ham

Broadbent is a classic salt-cured and smoked ham, made by Ronnie and Beth Drennan in southern Kentucky. It's from standard breed pigs, smoked gently, aged just under a year, making it milder than the other American hams we offer (check them out online). You can take this ham home, boil it and serve it cooked like many do in the South. But I recommend eating it as is, sliced thinly like you would for Italian prosciutto or Spanish jamón. After all, it’s essentially the same thing, except that it's smoked and they aren't. It’s served that way at David Chang’s Momofuku Ssam restaurant in New York. It makes a spectacular centerpiece for a party buffet table. M-BKM whole, bone-in unsliced, 12-14 lbs $130 P-HSS ham stand (not necessary, but useful) $60

mountain meat Speck from La Quercia

If there was an award for funny food names this would definitely be a finalist. Speck originates in the Alto Adige, the alpine region of the South Tirol in northern Italy. This is mountain people’s meat, meant to fortify. It’s a lean piece of pork, cut from the rear leg, rubbed with sea salt and smoked over apple wood. Where prosciutto is delicate and subtle, this is chewy and robust, earthy and rich, sweet and smoky. It may not be as well known as some cured meats you know but don’t let that stop you. Like all their meats, La Quercia’s speck is made from hogs raised naturally, without antibiotics. M-SPK 3 oz sliced $12 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

Pizzuta Almonds

Pizzuta trees bloom along the seacoast of southeastern Sicily in the winter, when most other crops are still deep in slumber. The conditions are perfect there: fertile soil, lots of sun, cool nights. The yield is small, but their flavor is unmatched. Milky, sweet, nutty and intense with a whisper of bitterness that lingers. No other almond compares to pizzuta’s intensity of flavor. A small pile of pizzuta almonds next to aged cheese is a treat along with some good salami and crusty bread. But the purest enjoyment comes from crunching them one by one over a lazy afternoon.

Marcona Almonds

Marconas are about ten times more flavorful than the California almonds we’re used to. Their shape is flat, not almondlike at all, and their flavor falls naturally on the sweeter side. The folks who make these amplify that flavor by removing the skins (which add a metallic bitterness without adding much else), frying them in olive oil then tossing them in sea salt.

the king of italian cheese Farmhouse Parmigiano-Reggiano Not all the wheels that bear the world famous ParmigianoReggiano name are created equal. There are big differences from one to the next. This one is made by a dairy nearly 2,000 feet up in the hills outside of Modena, Italy. The high altitude makes for plenty of diversity in the grasses, herbs and flowers growing in the cows’ pastures. This means that the milk—and therefore your cheese—is full of the pastures' complex flavors. The wheels are aged for a minimum of two years (33% longer than the Consorzio minimum). Most important, the finished cheese has a really rich, wonderfully complex flavor with a lovely, long finish and none of that bitterness or mouthburn that often mars the final flavor of others. Wrapped well, it lasts for weeks.

Great Lakes Cheshire

Cheshire is originally an English cheese with a tangy, citrusy flavor and a lovely crumble to its texture. John’s Loomis's Michigan Cheshire has a bit more earthiness than the English variety, but it’s still a recognizable relative. It’s great on its own, but it really shines when it’s on Farm Bread toast, melted just a bit under the broiler. Great Lakes Cheshire may have a bit of blue mold inside. It is entirely natural and complements its flavor nicely. C-GLC ½ lb hand cut wedge $19 by the pound $37

Bayley Hazen Blue

A stellar cheese that reminds me a bit of raw milk Stilton, which is not too much of a surprise since its maker, Mateo Kehler of Jasper Hill, learned some of his craft working with Neal’s Yard Dairy in London. The air that enters forms the blue mold which sends veins throughout the cheese, softening its texture, magnifying its flavor. To me, it's the texture that is the real treat. He calls it “a cross between butter and chocolate,” and he’s not stretching it. Frankly, for blue cheese lovers, it’s irresistible. C-BYZ ½ lb hand cut wedge $19 by the pound $37 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

The only traditional raw milk Stilton in the world. Working in the cheese’s home county of Nottinghamshire, Joe Schneider turns 2,440 liters of fresh milk from the farm's herd into Stichelton every day. The curds are hand ladled before being set into forms and drained. Later, they're pierced with needles, and the famous blueing begins. Four to six months later we taste the result: an exquisite, legendary blue with broad, buttery flavors that linger well into the evening. Selected by Neal’s Yard Dairy just for us.

Piave from Northeast Italy

L'étivaz from Switzerland

This rarely tasted traditional cheese made high in the mountains of northern Italy has been one of my favorite eating cheeses for years. We buy wheels with a little more age on them than most. Piave has the smoothness of cheddar, the texture of Parmigiano-Reggiano and the mellowness of sweet mountain butter. Flavor wise, think of a good Parmigiano-Reggiano, with a little kick of sweet mountain gruyère. C-PIA ½ lb hand cut wedge $15 by the pound $28

L'Étivaz is made essentially as gruyère was one hundred years ago. It’s made only when the cows are doing their summer grazing in Alpine pastures in mountain meadows filled with wild flowers and herbs. It must be made in traditional copper cauldrons and only over open wood fires. The resulting cheese is superb: a bit creamier, less sharp than the above-mentioned Antique Gruyère, yet exceptionally smooth and flavorful. Aged for over a year, it has a firm texture, a melt-in-your-mouth butteriness and a lingering lilt of succulent Swiss mountain cream. C-LET ½ lb hand cut wedge $19 by the pound $37

Selected for us by Betty Koster of L'amuse, Amsterdam's top cheese shop, aged for over two years at higher-thannormal temperatures so it essentially ages faster, the flavor is correspondingly intense.

roadhouse bread

The house bread at our restaurant, Zingerman’s Roadhouse and a local favorite. It’s based on an early New England recipe, made by combining rye flour and cornmeal with wheat. Anyone from an 18th century New Englander to Laura Ingalls Wilder would recognize and enjoy it today (it’s referred to in Little House on the Prairie as Rye ‘n’ Injun bread). The same goes for almost anyone I hand a slice to today. It’s got great crust and a soft, chewy center that has a slight sweetness from dark molasses, making it a hit with kids.

Provence has lots many of its mills and olive oils, but the ones we’ve found are lovely: soft, almondy, beautiful with fish and salads.

cult-like, In a goOd way Maussane

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 $40 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

first TIme in a decadE Moulin de la Chartreuse Olive Oil

For years, we’ve had three Provençal olive oils: Alziari, Maussane and Eric’s. Now, for the first time in a decade, there’s a fourth. It wasn’t from lack of trying to find one. It’s just hard to find a great-tasting extra virgin oil from that area. This fits the bill, it’s one of the best French extra virgin olive oils I’ve tried in a long time. The flavor of the current harvest is very bright, with a buttery aroma. It is very smooth, with a mild but pleasant grassiness and a whisper of pepper in the finish that prickles the throat and tickles the nose. Like all southern French olive oils, it’s excellent on a light salad, phenomenal on fish. O-MCT 500 ml bottle $45 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

a love aFfair

Alziari from Nice

It’s been over two decades since I fell in love with Alziari, the old shop in the historic center of Nice. Their house blend olive oil is light, flowery and elegant but still full of character. The description of its tin could use the same description. It’s such a beautiful package, it makes one of our best gifts even without wrapping. The extra virgin oliveoil is perfect for a traditional Salade Niçoise. Gourmet and Fine Cooking have both written about how they love Alziari; it’s been one of our most popular oils for years. Full disclosure: this oil is not made from 100% French-grown olives. The Alziaris also source olives from Spain and Italy. O-ALZ 1 liter tin $55 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

Italy’s legendary vacation destination also makes its most robust, emblematic oils. Always intense, always at the top of the price range, Tuscan oils are worth trying at least once to see what great oil can be.

Savignola Paolina

Tenuta di Valgiano

Castello della Paneretta

Everyone forgets the name of this oil. It’s long and nearly unpronounceable. Luckily, it has an alias that no one can forget: "The silky, sexy oil from Tuscany." We couldn’t have given it a more accurate moniker. Savignola Paolina olive oil is unfiltered, giving it a thick, creamy, buttery texture. It has a luscious, mouth-filling flavor that’s very grassy in this year’s harvest, hinting of artichokes with a soft touch of pepper at the finish. Carlo Fabri makes only 500 bottles a year, and all his olives are picked and pressed in a three day family affair in early November. He sends almost his entire production to us. The tall, elegant, black bottle is as sexy as the extra virgin olive oil within. Outstanding. O-SAV 500 ml $35

While the Valgiano estate dates back to the 16th century, the energy on the grounds is new. When I visited a few years ago, I was impressed by the commitment Laura di Collobiano, Moreno Petrini and Saverio Petrilli had in making the ancient groves produce outstanding extra virgin olive oil. They’ve won numerous awards, including the prestigious Ercole Olivario, and they’ve won our customers’ hearts— this is consistently one of our most popular oils. Valgiano is a touch gentler than other more audacious oils from the center of Tuscany (we have several for sale online), but it’s still got plenty of pungent, peppery, olive-y goodness. O-VAL 500 ml bottle $45

Castello della Paneretta sits majestically on a Tuscan hillside. In fact, it's almost too typically Tuscan to believe, surrounded by fields of olive and cypress trees and rolling vineyards. The extra virgin olive oil is also typically Tuscan: full flavored, fantastically fruity, green, gorgeous, delicious. The latest harvest, from fall 2011, has a delightful bitterness, similar to the tanning you taste in black tea. It builds to a peppery peak that hits you in the front and back of the throat. So thick it pours from the bottle like cream, so delicious I find myself thinking of more dishes to use it with. The price makes it a relative bargain in Tuscany, where olive oil often fetches higher prices than silk ties. O-PAN 500 ml $33

From regions that aren’t as popular, but still boast great flavor, come these four oils that, dollar per drop, are some of the best olive oil values on the planet.

with a bigneSs and boldneSs light touch

affordable organic

Our top selLer

La Spineta from Puglia

Roi from Liguria

Frantoio from Chile

Peranzana from Molise

Pugliese oils get little credit on the international oil scene. The region’s reputation is that of a producer of affordable bulk oils. But hidden in the shadows of the huge industrial producers are artisans like the Pellegrino family. I visited their farm a couple of years ago, and I keep coming back to their full-flavored extra virgin olive oil again and again. It’s especially good in spicy pasta dishes or any place you want a really robust olive flavor. The more I use this oil, the more I like it. O-SPI 500 ml bottle $25

On the Italian Riviera, delicacy, not strength, brings an oil acclaim and honor. Roi is one of the best Ligurian oils I’ve tried. It’s been made in the mountain town of Badalucco by the Boeri family since 1900. Mellow yet rich in its unfiltered state, it’s delicately delicious, feathery light and perfect for pesto making. Its subtle, lingering flavors leave you smiling long after you’ve tasted it. I use it for dressing fresh fish or a delicate salad. O-ROI-500 500 ml $25 O-ROI 1 liter $40

The latest bottling, from the summer 2011 harvest (because Chile’s in the southern hemisphere, they pick in summer, not fall) is a big extra virgin olive oil. It has a wonderful aroma that reminds me of almonds and has a really beautiful bitterness in the finish that may catch you with a punch of late breaking pepperiness. To me it has the same sort of appeal of the bitter end of dark chocolate. It’s lively, engaging, intriguing. Not strong but vital, alive. My mouth tingles long after I’ve finished eating it. Organic. O-OZB 500 ml $29

Zingerman’s extra virgin olive oil is made by Marina Colonna on her ancient estate in the Molise, 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 oil is hugely flavorful. The latest vintage has pleasing aromas of green apple, freshly cut grass and leaf and a whisper of almond. It finishes with that great green olive bitterness and a bit of a peppery kick.

thE lemon oiL Of angels 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 fresh fish. O-AGR 200 ml bottle $35 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

Citrus Olive Oil Sampler from Italy Orange, lemon, bergamot and plain extra virgin olive oil in a sweet little sampler from Marina Colonna. Whole olives are pressed with citrus rinds, not infused with essences like most citrus oils. Each piece of fruit is peeled by hand before pressing, a step almost no one takes. These are some of the best citrus oils I've ever tasted. They're great drizzled on anything off the grill, added to a vinaigrette or lavished on roasted vegetables. Asparagus with a bead line of orange oil is a personal favorite. O-CIT 4 oil sampler, 1 oz total $16 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

Agrodolce White Balsamic Vinegar

Agrodolce is super smooth, light on the tongue, subtle and very, very long in the finish. You can use it in place of balsamic since it’s similarly soft and sweet. Wherever it’s employed, your cooking will be enhanced by one of the most elegant vinegars I’ve tried in a really long time. It’s crafted by Sante Bertoni on his family estate outside of Modena, Italy. Described as a bit of a mad scientist, Sr. Bertoni is giving the vinegar extra maturing just for us, making its flavor more complex before it hits your kitchen.

Our most popular vinegars Vecchia Dispensa's Balsamic Vinegars

Working just off the historic square in the center of the old town of Castelvetro, southwest of Modena, Italy, Roberta Pelloni and her husband, Marino Tintori, make a range of 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. All are highly recommended, the ten year aged is the most popular.

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

Berberechos Galician cockles—berberechos, in Spanish—are tiny, coveted clams, hand shucked and tinned in simple brine. The amount of handwork to get this done is extraordinary, and the care is evident as soon as you open the tin. The placement of each clam, the wonderful sweet sea aroma and the flavor and texture—ocean sweet, meaty, tender and succulent—are clearly a labor of love. This is the kind of tinned seafood that you find almost nowhere besides Spain where it's considered a delicacy. It may take some time to wrap your head around that idea, or wrap your wallet around the price, but if you know someone who loves special fishes, this is definitely worth splurging on. Just open the tin and serve, like it's done at the best Barcelona tapas bars. No shells. P-CLM 4 oz tin $35 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

Portuguese Sardines There are actually dozens of different fish sold as sardines in the U.S. Most are either brislings from Norway or herring from the North Atlantic.

In preparation for the opening of Zingerman’s Roadhouse in 2003, roastmaster Allen Leibowitz and chef Alex Young got together to settle on a signature coffee blend. It’s been a hit ever since. Coffee lovers quickly warmed up to its easy to enjoy balance of high, middle and low flavor notes, put together with lots of body and no bite. Technically, it’s a mix of Papua New Guinea, Guatemala Coban, Indian Coorg and Brazilian Peaberry, each added for their contribution in body, balance and nuttiness.

Macroom Irish Oatmeal Eating this for the first time is like taking your first promenade in Paris, France, when all you’ve known is Paris, Texas: you realize just how good oatmeal can be. The Walton family has been milling oats in Ireland since the 1700s, and they still use old stone wheels, which I think leave the oats better tasting than steel-cut. The result is a coarse meal that has its natural oils still intact, making the meal darker than other oatmeal. Facts aside, the most important thing is the way it tastes, extremely good.

calabrian snack attack Wild Artichokes in Olive Oil

In Italy, they're called carciofini selvatici, which is the name you'll see on the label. They're a variety of artichoke that grows wild in Calabria during April and May. Picked by hand, they’re dethorned and cleaned, then blanched for just a few minutes so their texture remains firm. About the size of an acorn, they’re bottled with olive oil, wine vinegar, salt, black pepper and a little bit of red chili pepper—a spice you find in many Calabrian foods. The red pepper is so subtle you won’t notice its faint spice until you’ve had two or three, a feat that’s way too easy to accomplish with artichokes this good. Throw a couple in a pasta dish. Add them to salads. Serve alongside some sheep’s milk cheese. Or follow your heart, open the jar and just eat 'em straight up.

Made throughout the Mediterranean and pretty much everywhere in the ancient world, halva is made from tahini (sesame paste) and honey (or sugar). This one is pure and simple, accented only with the addition of chios mastiha, the resin excreted from the trunk and branches of the mastiha tree that grows throughout Greece. The bark is cut, the sap flows, forming “tears” that eventually fall to the ground. The sap is collected and mixed in all manner of medicinal and culinary treats. Here it lends a sweet a slightly minty, mouthtingling finish. The halva’s texture is airy and incredibly light, like a brick built out of candy floss.

Simply put, they're the besttasting coconut macaroons I’ve ever had anywhere, with a buttery, coconut aroma that stays with you like a strong memory. We package a dozen (six chocolate and six vanilla) into a Zingerman’s gift box. A-MAC 6 vanilla, 6 chocolate $25 gift boxed

it's better with bacon When Pigs Fly: American Bacon Club

Six to date. That’s how many vegetarians I know who’ve fallen off the bandwagon thanks to bacon. I’m not using that as a proposal for torturing anyone. I’m just saying any food that’s so good it can break a strong will has to be worth trying. We’ll ship to the lucky recipient from October to April, just in time for weekend frying.

Each shipment contains bacon stories, histories, recipes and great bacon.

Zingerman’s Artisan Monthly Cheese Club Zingerman’s Cheese Club is a chance for you to let someone you know “visit” some of the most incredible dairies and aging caves in Europe and America. Each month we’ll hand cut, wrap and assemble a box of three choice cheeses (at least a pound total), add a loaf of our artisan bread and include loads of detailed notes describing where the cheeses are from, how they’re made and how to serve them. We focus each shipment on a specific country and a specific style of cheesemaking. At the end the recipient will have a cheese education that's hard to find these days, including a deep understanding of cheesemaking styles and how to serve and pair the cheese.

Zingerman's premier Club Culinary Adventure Society The right gift for that friend or client who thinks they're the Indiana Jones of the culinary world. No rolling boulders here, but four times a year we’ll send a big box of eight to ten food surprises. Based on our most up to date food research and travel, perhaps they’ll taste olio nuovo, a coveted bottle of great olive oil, just pressed. Maybe a cheese from one of America’s small dairies so regional it rarely leaves its neighborhood. Or maybe the latest invention from Zingerman’s Bakehouse, only available in Ann Arbor. All foods in the Culinary Adventure Society will be exclusively selected for its members. We’ll include a collection of writing on each food's history and culture plus recipes for their use. Bonus: free, autographed copy of Zingerman’s Guide to Good Eating book with the first shipment. It’s guaranteed to impress and put its recipient on the cutting edge of taste-bud territory.

Either way, it will be something that will be like electricity to a curious cook or food lover. We’ll include information on who made it and how to use it. The value of each installment may be more or less than the average, but we promise that over the course of every three months you’ll more than get your money’s—and tastebud’s—worth.

FOR THE love OF THE LOAF Bread of the Month Club

– BREAD CLUB – Three Month Bread Membership 1 loaf per month 2 loaves per month

Our bread is magical. When you walk into Zingerman’s Delicatessen it’s the first thing you see. It’s what you smell. You can’t resist when you’re invited to taste. If you’re worried that someone will think you’re a little crazy for sending bread through the mail, it may reassure you to know that you’re not alone. We send thousands of loaves to bread lovers nationwide. It’s considered by many to be some of the finest bread made anywhere. A real treat.

"Some women are thrilled to get a box from Tiffany, others from Neiman Marcus, but for me one of the most thrilling things I can imagine is a box of breads from Zingerman's." Carol Field author of The Italian Baker

continuous cake, a great corporate gift Monthly Coffeecake Club Our coffeecakes aren’t built on any secrets. They’re also not built from too much sugar, shortening or other shortcuts that mar the flavor of many “gourmet” pastries. These are a product of great ingredients and a lot of tender care. Their honest flavor is easy to enjoy and kind of addictive. They’re our most popular gift. This club is a great way to give someone a chance to enjoy all of our coffeecakes, one per month. Just as they start to miss what they finished a fresh one arrives. Your succulent sentiments will be hard to forget. A gift subscription makes a great professional present. Each cake serves 5-7.

it's back! Our holiday chOcolate foOD club Italian Sweets Club Italians do a mesmerizing job merging chocolate with other traditional sweets. With this monthly food club you'll get to taste the styles of three different masters. For the first month we'll start in the north, in Piedmont, where hazelnuts and chocolate are combined to form the legendary concoction called Gianduja. We'll move south to Calabria, famed for its citrus, and a box of chocolate covered candied clementines. Finally we'll end with what's perhaps the oldest, most traditional chocolate in Europe, the red-pepper spiked chocolate truffles of eastern Sicily, made for generations in the town of Modica. It's an amazing experience. Only 150 slots are open for the trip, order yours now.
