The Return of Breed and Pasture

The current commercial meat industry is a success story—of a kind. It has made meat cheap and constantly available. Today the dream of a chicken in every pot sounds as antiquated as telegraphs and petticoats. But to develop cheap meat, animals have been bred for a single purpose: to turn feed into meat as efficiently as possible. With that single minded focus we bred out their ability to survive the elements (solution: cram them cheek by jowl into enormous barns) or to fight disease (solution: pump them full of antibiotics). We also bred out most of the flavor. The glut of meat on the market not only has questionable ethics. It also doesn’t taste great.

The good news is that there are a handful of passionate farmers out there today who have gone against industry norms and turned back the clock on meat. They’re raising heritage breed animals that they chose for flavor, not efficiency. They’re raising them outdoors, on pasture, where they have plenty of room to roam and they eat what they’ve always eaten rather than some laboratory-developed ration. Many—including other farmers who use conventional methods—think they’re nuts, or wasteful, or both. I don’t. But don’t just take my word for it. Try some. I think you’ll see that, just like with other traditional foods, extra time, care, and effort can pay off with amazing flavor.

When it comes to modern American meat, say post World War II to the present, you can divide time in two. There was B.B. (Before Bill) and A.B. (After Bill). It’s hard to overstate the impact Bill Niman has had on the american meat industry. He’s been at the forefront of many of the most important issues about raising animals and food education. When he moved away from his namesake company, Niman Ranch (now owned by Perdue), he didn’t leave ranching. He started working with cattle again, this time going for 100% grass fed beef.

Now a couple years into his new life’s work, BN Ranch, we’re proud to be the first mail order source for his amazing beef.

The Iconoclast's Next Ride

Strip Steaks from Bill Niman’s BN Ranch

In the food world, Bill Niman’s name has long been synonymous with sustainably-raised pork and beef, he was an iconoclastic pioneer in the movement. No longer affiliated with Niman Ranch, these days he’s raising some of the most flavorful grassfed and grass-finished beef I’ve ever tasted under the brand BN Ranch.

Sometimes grass-fed beef can be hit or miss if there isn’t enough fat development. Not the case with Bill’s beef. These steaks have great marbling and taste, well, steak-ier than most. This is not a steak that's an apology for grass feeding. This competes with every great steak in the world, it's just made without feed lots, without hormones, without corn, without any bullsh*t. We've been working with Bill for years and this is the first time any of his steaks are available via mail order in America. Bone in, two to a pack. Ships frozen, arrives frozen or cool.

Sometimes you pay for the animal husbandry but don’t get the flavor.

Luckily, we've done the tasting work for you (I know, tough job, right?). What we have here is extremely tasty. Two thick Red Wattle porterhouse pork chops, a gigantic cowboy cut ribeye from Carman Ranch and a pound of grass-fed ground beef.

The Beef Lovers Cut

Dry-Aged Cowboy Cut Ribeye Steaks This one ain’t for dainty eaters.

Enormous ribeyes, nearly two inches thick, each tipping the scales at about a pound and a half. The cowboy cut has a couple inches of bone sticking out, giving you a handle to hold onto the largest meat hammer you’ve ever seen. More than big enough to share, but so scrumptious you’ll want to keep it all to yourself. The cattle are raised to impeccable standards, grass-fed and grass-finished in Oregon. The beef is dry aged for two weeks, which gives it a deep, mineral tang. Incredibly rich with a luscious marbling of fat. Ships frozen, arrives frozen or cool.

When I’m away from Ann Arbor for more than a few days, I start to miss Zingerman’s food. Coffee and bread first, then more subtle longings surface. Like cured and cooked meats. This is a collection of my favorites from our deli case. It’s good grub for weekends, when cooking takes time away from more important matters, like the couch. Just set out some cheese, vegetables, bread and some sliced meats for a satisfying feast. Our Zingerman's shopping bag includes a pound each of Pastrami, our Classic Black Angus Lean Corned Beef, Broadbent Sausage, Usinger’s Liverwurst, Nueske's Applewood Smoked Bacon, plus La Quercia’s Borsellino Salami and Prosciutto Americano. Over six pounds of cured cow and hog, rounded out with a loaf of Bacon Peppered Farm Bread. Requires a strong will not to overdo it. In case of excess, we’ll throw in some Alka Seltzer®.

First you’ll be struck by how they look. Over two dozen matte metal tins, transluscent tops, each filled with a shock of spice.

When you unwrap it, the aroma follows: floral, toasty, bright, rich, herbal, earthy, all swimming together. What really steals the show, though, is the taste. Ethné and Philippe de Vienne’s Epices de Cru Montreal-based spice business has what I think are hands-down the best spices around and their house blends are unparalleled.

This kit has 26 combos, enough to keep a curious cook busy for months. It comes with a 143-page book featuring 60 of their welltested recipes. Makes a stunning gift. Note the spices are whole, which makes them last much longer. They only need a quick grind with a mortar and pestle or food processor.

No, I’m not pulling your leg on this one. Tuna and sardines get better with age. It’s long been known amongst European a-fish-ionados that the most sumptuous sardines are those that have been allowed to mature and mellow for years before they’re eaten.

During the aging period the fish and the olive oil they’re packed in meld together, making the sardines more tender and their flavor notably richer. The same goes for tuna. Here we send a muslin bag stuffed with three of our favorites, a 2014 vintage Portuguese Sardines, 2013 vintage French Sardines, and 2013 vintage Spanish tuna.

A great gift for the fish father fan you know.

pulLed POrk a la franÇaiSe Pork Rillettes

Think of rillettes (ree-yets) as France’s version of pulled pork, albeit a bit more smooth and spread-able. This one comes from upstate New York, not Paris, but the style is all French. It’s made with heritage-breed, pasture raised hogs that get no antibiotics or hormones. The ham hocks and hams are smoked over applewood for about a day. The meat is shredded by hand and mixed with verjus (vinegar from unripe grapes), maple syrup, mustard and spices. Finally it’s jarred in the traditional manner—under a protective layer of lard that naturally preserves it until you're ready to eat. And you will be. The flavor is rich but bright, and supremely porky. Serve rillettes in an appetizer spread with pickles and crackers, toss some on a pizza or into a pasta dish, or warm them up and spread 'em on crusty bread with cheese or jam.

Cinn-ful Cinnamon Roll Gift Box

The diabolical pastry enablers at Zingerman’s Bakehouse have focused their dark magic on classic banana bread. Like our hugely popular sour cream coffeecake and magic brownies, banana bread instantly conjures up nostalgia for home baking. The thing is, this loaf tastes better than what mom used to make (no offense intended moms, it’s just hard to beat our Bakehouse).

There are no nuts in these loaves, just the classic charms: flour, cane sugar, real butter and fresh eggs, a touch of Madagascar vanilla and two freshly peeled bananas per loaf. Chocolate chunk banana bread is the same story, with the addition of huge chunks of chocolate. Wrapped in tissue, each loaf comes packed in its own colorfully illustrated box. Serves 5-7.

Almost anyone can make a cinnamon roll smell good while it’s baking, even among the cell phone kiosks at the mall.

Unfortunately, most have little more than aroma to offer.

You won’t taste much beyond sugar and cinnamon. The real challenge is to fashion a cinnamon roll 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 sweet butter, Indonesian cinnamon, real vanilla. But the real treat is next. Take one bite. That’s all you’ll need to forget the litany of cinnamon roll disappointments life has dealt you. With serving instructions.

Kifli Hungarian Cookies Rico Womble is our Markets Team Guru at Zingerman's Mail Order—that means it's his job to make sure that every product has a designated home in our warehouse. When we asked him about his favorite product, here's what he had to say: I always saw these boxes marked "kifli" sitting in our Mail Order warehouse. I couldn't see inside the box, so I always wondered “what is this?” Then one day I was at a staff event and they were sitting on the table as a snack: little crescent moon desserts that were sent down from the stars. I couldn't believe how buttery and almondy they were, exactly in balance. And then with a dusting of powdered sugar goodness on top—it just works. All I could think of the whole meeting was crumbling them over ice cream. Soon after that I led a tasting of them with our crew here at Mail Order and now we have a whole new group of kifli converts.

Spanish line-caught tuna Ortiz Tunas from Spain Tuna is one of the most popular foods we sell. It may seem surprising because here in the U.S., tinned tuna is a low-end commodity usually sold in supermarkets. In Spain it’s at the complete opposite of the culinary spectrum. Tuna in tins, especially these from the fourthgeneration family firm Ortiz, is one of the jewels in Spain's culinary crown. Ortiz's fish are all line caught—never netted—cleaned 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. Spectacular stuff. Kosher.

Superior sardines Portuguese Classic Sardines There are dozens of different fish sold as sardines in the U.S. While they aren't bad, they don't come close to the flavor of true pilchards like these. And unlike Norwegian sardines, these are never smoked, so the full flavor of the fish comes through. Four or five tender, perfect sardines come nested in a tin of olive oil. We offer standard (illustrated) or extra virgin olive oil, which has the effect of making the flavor more buttery, less metallic; in a way it's less fishy.

To some folks who are used to a briny, edgy flavor, they will come off as softer, rounder.

Cured fish connoisseur's corner Head to a bar in Spain or Portugal and you may find yourself snacking on seafood from a tin—and loving it. Don't be ashamed. It's not considered a character flaw. In fact, just the opposite. Preserved fish is treated like seafood royalty on the Iberian Peninsula, similar to how cured ham like Jamón Serrano is prized pork. Here are some of our most spectacular fish for your home tapas bar.

luxuriant

the pâté of the sea

Salt Cod in Olive Oil It seems a little odd that the seafood-loving residents of Spain and Portugal love salt cod so much. In fact, the closer to the water they live, the more salt cod they seem to eat. These people, who have access to the best fresh seafood in the world, on any given night you’ll find them cooking slabs of preserved salted fish.

It stymied me until I married into a Portuguese family and started eating more of it. Then I realized that salted cured fish has about as much in common with fresh fish as cured ham does with a fresh pork chop. They're two completely different things. People who raise pigs like fresh pork and they like salted cured pork like ham. Why wouldn't the same be true for people who fish? The salt curing and cooking—which, here, happens as a slow confit in olive oil—creates a cod fillet that’s almost creamy. It may seem counter-intuititive, but salt cod is one of the most luxurious fishes you can eat. That's the main reason Iberians spend hours—and I mean hours—soaking and cooking it. The salt cod in this jar, on the other hand, takes all of two seconds to prepare. Turn the lid, turn out the fish, feast.

Scallop Rillettes

I’ve never really tasted anything like this. I hadn’t even heard of the Ile de Groix, the island off the coast of Brittany where scallop rilletes are made, until last summer. Nor had I heard of scallop rillettes. As far as I knew, rillettes, slow-cooked in fat like a pâté, were reserved for land animals. These are similar to pâté, but instead of using pork or duck to make a rich spread, scallops are employed to make a rillette that is light and smooth, with just a touch of sweetness and an undeniable flavor of the sea. The additions are parsley, shallots and a bit of butter and cream. Spread some on open faced sandwiches for lunch or a dinner side dish, perhaps with a few capers, lemon zest and a twist of black pepper.

Outstanding fast food. Keep a couple jars in the cabinet for late night snacking or to satisfy impromptu guests.

Eels just don’t sound appetizing. I assure you they are far more luxurious than you can imagine. This tin has four flakingly tender eel fillets, lightly smoked. Milder than mackerel or sardines, they have a texture that reminds me of salmon crossed with sea bass. Amazing stuff, with the kind of out-of-fashion packaging that belies the high quality of fish within. Eat them on their own, forked out of the tin. Or top a green salad with a couple fillets, capers, Marash red pepper and lemon zest. An unparalleled late night snack.

Octopus from Ramon Peña

Octopus is a tricky fish to tin.

We’ve never sold it and it’s not from lack of trying. I’ve probably tasted octopus from twenty different canneries. Those samples suffered a range of maladies: overly gelatinous, too cat-foody, or, they had what I refer to as “rubber hose phenomenon.” I came to Ramon Peña’s octopus with low expectations born from experience. What I tasted was a treat, a surprise that ranked at the top of my new food list when I discovered them last year. Peña’s round tin holds over a dozen slices of tentacle, suckers intact. Octopus is never a melt-in-your mouth food and these are appropriately meaty with a satisfying ticky tacky bite that never once veers to garden hose. They also possess a scent of the sea so clear it’s disarming. A tin serves four as an appetizer. And since one of those four people probably doesn't eat octopus, there’s more for you.

Red truffles Anchovy Stuffed Cherry Peppers

There are many versions sold these days and almost all of them are packed with peppers roasted on gas grills, not wood fired grills. There’s a huge difference in flavor. In the same way that home barbecue tastes better when it’s done with wood, roasted piquillos improve when they get a dose of smoke, the beech wood smoke imparts umami richness and amplifies the flavor.

Almost as hard to find, similarly shaped and nearly as expensive as truffles. These are one of my all-time favorite foods in our catalog and they're a cult favorite among many customers. Anchovies and capers stuffed into slightly spicy cherry peppers, all packed in excellent olive oil.

Pop the whole pepper into your mouth. Layers of flavors unfold on your tongue. Sweetness at first, then mild heat, all enhanced by the suave saltiness of anchovies.

Save the oil for marinades.

I visited Caricato about a dozen years ago. It was a business living in the last century, and by that I mean the one before the last one. They still grow olives in mixed fields, olive trees interspersed with artichokes and grape vines, chamomile growing wild in the rows.

They still press olives by stone, something almost no olive growers do anymore. All this has nothing specific to say about this olive paste. It’s just black olives, crushed and salted. If you like that kind of thing, and imagine how Caricato’s poignant lack of progress affects such simple foods, you can guess how good it tastes.

Europeans go gaga for asparagus that’s snow white and thick as a thumb. In season, there are restaurants in Spain that devote whole menus to it. It’s tender and mild, the green-grass flavor we're used to is absent. In its place there’s a fine floral aroma, subtle and mild, and it sports a texture as soft as squash. White asparagus’s season is diabolically short and it doesn’t travel well—two conditions that have historically conspired to keep it for locals only.

There is a canning tradition though. One of the best sources we’ve found for tinned white asparagus is located in Spain’s Navarre valley. Serve warmed with a simple butter sauce or at room temperature alongside cured ham.

Renée Erickson from Boat Street Café in Seattle.

She submerges California Black Mission figs in a syrup of red wine, balsamic vinegar, sugar and rosemary. Jarred with this thick, molten syrup, they taste herbaceous and tart, with a lingering note of rosemary and just a hint of sweetness. Serve with creamy or blue cheeses for appetizers. Heck, just about any cheese tastes nice next to them.

These small brown beauties are the olive of Catalonia, Spain, and a must for the olive lover in your life. Too small to be harvested by mechanical methods, the care and time it takes to hand pick arbequinas is a testament to their quality and reputation. Brownish purple in color, they have a unique nuttiness that makes them easy to devour by the handful, especially if you dress them with a bit of olive oil and orange rind.

Pickled Brussels Sprouts Daniel & Ann Trudel, the folks behind Ann’s Raspberry Farm in Frederickstown, Ohio, love brussels sprouts (and raspberries, obviously). They harvest the little cabbages when they’re still young and tender, then quickly blanche and cure them with vinegar, honey, garlic and a few spices.

The pickled sprouts are crisp, bright and satisfying. They’re fun chopped and tossed into salads or as a garnish for Bloody Mary s, martinis. I love them simply served along with some nice salami and good bread. Replace the pickles on your relish tray and you'll be in business.

southern Greek Spread

Roasted Eggplant Spread Dishes made with roasted eggplants are a staple across Greece and Turkey. This one comes from Messinia, the remote, sun-drenched region at the southwestern most tip of Greece. All summer farmers pick skinny Lagada eggplants and fire roast them the same day. Then the eggplants are peeled, crushed, and jarred with a pinch of salt and a smidge of citric acid—that’s it. The flavor is deep, roasty hinting at charred, a little tart, incredibly smooth. Messinians eat it smeared on fresh vegetables or crackers, spread on toast or mixed into a salad with lemon juice, olive oil, tomatoes, garlic, parsley and mint.

roadhouse bread french mouNtain 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. Excellent with cream cheese and smoked salmon.

B-ROA 1½ lb handmade loaf $9 SHIPS 2 BUSINESS DAY

I’d have a tough time picking between this and Farm Bread for top spot on my European-style favorites list. French Mountain Bread has a chestnut colored crust nearly a quarter inch thick, a dense wheaty crumb inside and a toasty, long lasting flavor.

It’s totally terrific for toasting. We offer it in two sizes, a ¾ kilo loaf (about 1.65 lbs) that’s good for munching and a 2 kilo (about 4½ lbs, illustrated) work of art. I love the 2K loaf. A good foot and a half across and four or five inches high, it’s decorated with a hand-cut “Z.” The size is significant because bigger loaves almost always taste better. Baked to last, you’ll still be enjoying 2K Mountain Bread ten days after the loaf has left our oven.

farm bread

Imagine sitting around a French farmhouse table waiting for dinner. This would be the bread the family would serve. Like French pain au levain, it's a white-wheat mix made with a sour starter. Its crust is crisp, its flavor subtle and never tiring. The one and a half pound loaf is pictured, but the three pound round is my favorite. Cut into quarters and freeze what you don’t eat.

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. Also recommended for ripping and dipping in olive oil. Heat it up and the crust gets crispy crackly fantastic.

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

Your rooms will fill with sensuous smells—warm chocolate, good bread. Eat it as is. Or spread a layer of fresh ricotta or cream cheese on top. This is one loaf that's very hard to keep around the house.

The national bread of Belgium. It’s a buttery brioche rolled up with fresh orange zest and sugar cubes soaked in Grand Marnier®.

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 Tellicherry black pepper.

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 quarter pound of parmesan in every loaf, along with a load of cracked 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.

I love this bread: savory, lusty, delicious and dangerously close to addictive. Softly spicy, fire-roasted New Mexico green chiles and raw milk 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 twenty minutes in a 325 degree oven before you break it open so it’s nice and steamy when you crack the crust.

Traditional Jewish rye bread is still an endangered American species. Twenty-two years after we started baking them in Ann Arbor you'll still be hard pressed to find a loaf like them anywhere in the country. Believe it or not, most “rye bread” sold in America contains very little rye flour. These are different. These are breads like my grandparents ate in Eastern Europe: plenty of rye flour, a natural sour rye starter (not the usual canned shortcut) and lots of time to let the dough develop. They’re the breads I reach for to make a sandwich or to eat with cool butter and fresh oysters. A perfect pairing with corned beef.

Il Mongetto Italian Tomato Sauces For fifteen years Il Mongetto has been my favorite bottled pasta sauce. They have a clean, fresh flavor that I love—never too sweet, never boring. Conjured up by the serenely insightful Santopietro family in the shadows of the Italian Alps, these sauces are filled with tomatoes, shallots, celery, carrots and olive oil from Umbrian maker Alfredo Mancianti.

They feature complex, compelling flavors that other sauces only aspire to. Pasta with Il Mongetto sauce is the best fast food I know.

Twenty years ago it was a tough task to build a collection of great American artisan foods, let alone one strictly from the Great Lakes. My, how times have changed. Today the difficult job is not finding enough foods, it's editing the selection. Here are seven delectables that I think represent some of the ingenuity and resources of artisan food makers from our region.

We stuff our cartooned gift box with Peanut Butter from Koeze in Grand Rapids, Jam from Farrell Fruit in Ann Arbor, Freshly Roasted Zingerman's Coffee, Mo’s Bacon Chocolate bar from Vosges in Chicago, Marieke Gouda from Thorp, Wisconsin, Nueske’s Applewood Smoked Bacon from Wisconsin and our Pecan Raisin Bread.

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 here 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.

The gift box includes Zingerman's Farm Bread, La Quercia’s Cured Ham, Mediterranean Olives, Spanish Olive Oil and Anise Tortas, Spanish Marcona Almonds, Portuguese Sardines and Italian Taralli crackers. Serves 6-8 quite handily.

We’re hosting a summer pasta pop-up at Zingermans.com, featuring new hard-to-find noodles from Italy and even the USA, which has made a leap from pasta purgatory in the last couple years, thanks to some great new noodle makers. Here are a few finds with many more — including great sauces — online.

NEW PASTAS

Chestnut Trofie Pasta

Trofie are short, inch-long long twists of pasta from Liguria in northern Italy.

During World War II when wheat flour was scarce, it was common to make pasta with a bit of chestnut flour mixed in, kind of like how during the Napoleonic wars somebody had the idea to extend the limited chocolate supply with hazelnuts for Gianduja (online) and its name-brand version, Nutella®. Chestnut pasta isn’t as popular as Nutella®—yet—but these chestnut trofie may help turn the tide. They have a nutty, earthy sweetness and a great toothsome texture. They are the traditional pasta for Ligurian basil pesto but they also match well with a bit of browned butter and parmesan.

Peasant’s Secret Farina Arsa Orecchiette

In Puglia, the heel of Italy’s boot, after the wheat harvest the fields were burnt to clear the land.

Traditionally, after the burn, the landowners let the peasants go out and collect any leftover burnt wheat—farina arsa in Italian. The burnt grains gave their bread and pasta a dark color and deep, toasty flavor. Today farina arsa is made by toasting wheat in an oven not fields, but the flavor is still rich and smoky, like a campfire. These orecchiette—little ears—are a traditional Puglian shape. They pair well with chunky sauces filled with vegetables or sausage.

sicIliAn Original Busiate Tumminia Pasta

Tumminia wheat is an ancient heirloom grain that’s been grown in southwestern Sicily for centuries.

It was traditionally used to make a special local bread called pane nero (online), renowned for its sweet, toasty flavor. Now Sicilian miller Filippo Drago is stone grinding organically grown Tumminia wheat to make pasta. He extrudes the pasta through bronze dies so it’s great for gripping sauce, and he dries it super slowly to expand the flavor. We have busiate, a traditional Sicilian shape that looks like tightly wound corkscrews. The flavor is astounding: earthy, nutty, rich. It’s especially great sauced with Pesto Trapanese.

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. 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. Also, we don’t ship to Europe, so we get this one all to ourselves.

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

hOmegrown charcuTerie The New American Charcuterie There’s been an explosion of great charcuterie in America over the last half decade. Roughly corresponding to the rise in whole animal butchery—a process that creates a lot of “extra” cuts available for charcuterie—I’ve seen more new salami and pâtés in the last five years than I had in the fifteen before that. Many get an A for effort but the flavor is marred by too much salt or spice. A more frequent sin is size: little salamis dry out quickly; one day they’re good, the next day they’re as hard as a nickel. We’ve tested and tasted hundreds of them over the last few years and this small collection represents some of the best. For a cured meat connoisseur, there’s not much better. All the meat is sourced from animals raised on land with room to roam with diets that don’t include antibiotics or hormones. Box includes ‘Nduja Calabrian spiced meat spread from Chicago’s ‘Nduja Artisans, Pork Rillettes from the Ithaca’s The Piggery, Summer Sausage from Madison’s Underground Meats, Vecchio Salami from Minneapolis’s Red Table Meats and a snack of Chicharones from San Francisco’s 4505 meats.

localL y milLed, universal appeal Chestnut Bread Inspired by Hungarian cuisine—where chestnuts receive a lot of attention—Frank Carollo and the master bakers at Zingerman’s Bakehouse have created a new bread using chestnut flour from Grand Haven, Michigan and wheat flour from Westwind Mill in Linden, Michigan. The naturally leavened loaf has a rich tan crust and a nearly purple colored crumb. This is the type of bread you’ll want to Instagram. Just wait until you taste it, though. The flavor is full, nutty, sweet, rich and very satisfying. Fantastic with all manner of cheeses, meats, wines and whatever else you’re hung(a)ry for.

the latest bakest Hot Out of the Oven New Bakery Box

I’ve often noted the fact that our bakers don’t release an avalanche of new foods each year. They’re deliberate and very, very picky. When there is something new it’s worth taking notice.

This year brought a few innovations and I’ve put them together here in one box. Well, I may be stretching it. The Craquelin was new over a year ago. Like I said, it’s not often, so take notice. The gift box includes our latest Chestnut flour bread, Craquelin, the breakout hit bread that’s the sugar-and-Grand Marnier® national bread of Belgium, and Beigli, the Hungarian sweet cinnamon roll. Serves a dozen easily. Save parts for later—they all freeze great.

Cheese Futures

Quarterly Artisan Cheese Club

From dairy to cave to table. In this club we go country to country through four traditional cheese cultures. We taste cheeses subtle (like northern Italy’s cave aged Fontina Val d’Aosta, the truffle of the cheese world), cheeses emphatic (like Switzerland’s mountain cheese called L’Etivaz, made in eighty pound wheels) and cheeses rare (like the one-and-only Tarentaise from Vermont). The tour is extensive but never tiring. These are the cheeses like you’ve never tasted before.

Weighing in at over a pound and a half per shipment, they’ll last the recipient for weeks.

The Young Americans Cheese Box Explosion might not be the right word. But it’s the word that first comes to mind when I think about the amount of great American cheese that’s appeared in the last fifteen years. There are new cheesemakers everywhere, from coast to coast. Cheesemongers who twenty years ago would struggle to stock six or seven American cheeses now regularly stock three or four times that many—and they have to be careful editors to choose only that many. It’s a new golden age for American cheese, and we get to enjoy its benefits: Tarentaise from Spring Brook Farm in Vermont, extra-aged Pleasant Ridge Reserve from Uplands Cheese in Wisconsin and Cabot Clothbound Cheddar from Jasper Hill in Vermont. Sent with some great new American crackers—Rustic Bakery Sea Salt and Olive Oil Flatbread. Serves 10, lasts for many days refrigerated.

There aren’t many cheesemongers in America who put together a cheese selection like this. Few take the time to discover, select, age, care for and cut each cheese to order like we do. All the little steps add up. You can taste the difference. Five cheeses weigh over two pounds, serving 10-12 and come with Irish Brown Bread Crackers.

What If yOU could oNly pick thrEe? Desert Island Cheese Gift Box You’re stranded on a desert island. You only have three cheeses (and presumably a refrigerator). Which ones are they? I asked this question to a number of good cheesemongers and the same cheeses kept popping up over and over, so I figured I was on to something—a collection of cheeses so compelling, the best cheesehounds I know would choose them above all others. The picks are classic well-aged Italian Parmigiano-Reggiano, real cloth-wrapped English Cheddar from its birthplace in Southwestern England, and French Comté, aged in the halls of Fort St. Antoine. We'll hand cut a half pound of each, wrap them in our French cheese bags and nestle them in a box with crackers.
