german spice coOkIEs Pfeffernüsse Cookies Pfeffernüsse cookies are traditional Christmas treats in Germany. The name translates roughly as “pepper nut.” The pepper part is because they’re spiced with cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and yes, even a bit of black pepper. The nut part is not because they contain any nuts—they don’t—but because they’re round and smallish and shaped somewhat like a walnut in the shell. Our Bakehouse started making them for Christmas last year and now for the first time we’re selling them on their own. The illustrated box makes for an adorable stocking stuffer and the 8 cookies inside are sure to bring holiday cheer to even the Bah Humbug-iest of Scrooges.

Hungarian chRiStmas Walnut Beigli

Beigli (bay-glee) is a yeasted dough rolled up with a sweet filling made of finely chopped walnuts. The outside has a nice shine to it and an unique crackle appearance. Inside, it has a trademark swirl that reminds you of a cinnamon roll standing on its side. The buttery dough and rich honey walnut filling blend perfectly together, balancing the sweetness of the inside with the satisfying chew of the dough. Comes in a muslin gift bag nestled inside our fun, colorful cartoon gift box. G-BEI beigli gift box $35 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

rolL redEmption Cinnful Cinnamon Roll Gift Box

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. Our handsome round wooden gift box includes ten cinnamon rolls baked in a reusable metal tin with serving instructions. A-CIN ten rolls in cartoon box $35 G-CIN ten rolls in wooden crate $40

tasTy MediEval ChriStmas Lebkuchen

Sandy Lee fell in love with lebkuchen, the traditional German Christmas cookie, while living in Berlin. “It was like nothing I’d ever tasted,” she recalls. “I couldn’t get all those complex flavors out of my head.” She became obsessed, learning all she could about them before returning to the States and starting her own lebkuchen bakery. The recipe dates back to medieval times and has many steps. The dough is made from almond and hazelnut flours, whole almonds, egg whites, honey, marzipan and a bevy of spices. The dense dough rests for nearly a day before heading to the oven. The finished cookies are hand glazed and studded with almonds (classic variety) or cloaked in dark chocolate. You will find three classic and two chocolate cookies in this fire engine red tin. Each is about four inches across and an inch tall. They’re thick, moist, slightly spicy, sweet and very nutty. The consistency is a cross between cake and marzipan, making them the perfect after dinner treat with coffee or tea. Although traditionally intended to keep for months, I think these sweet, spicy, nutty treats will only last a few days (or hours!) at your house. A cookie with history, a perfect gift for anyone on your list. P-LEB 5 cookie tin, 1 lb $40 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

The holiday cLasSic 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. 14) 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

Fruit Cakes

Full disclosure: the price on these fruitcakes may cause sticker shock. Where most fruit cakes are cheap, somewhat industrial and terrible, these are another species altogether. Crafted by Robert Lambert from rare citrus that he picks and candies himself. A slice cut thin while the cake is cool—I recommend serving it chilled—looks like a stained glass window and has a revelation of flavors.

Dark Rare Citrus Fruitcake

White Rare Citrus Fruitcake Robert's classic cake, the one we've offered for many years. It's by far the best of its kind I’ve ever tried. Robert says, “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. It tastes fresh, clean and lively. Comes wrapped in a muslin bag. P-KUY 1 lb fruit cake, six inches long, serves 8-10 $65

For his Dark Fruit Cake, Robert starts by candying exotic citrus like Buddha’s hand citron, bergamot, blood orange, Texas lemon and white grapefruit peels. He adds hazelnuts, pecans, walnuts, dark raisins, prunes, black figs soaked in Poire William eau de vie—oh yes, there’s more—dates, cardamom, cinnamon, nutmeg, 10-year-old Ficklin Port, and a bit of candied ginger. Then, wait for it...he soaks it all in bourbon. Like everything Robert creates, these cakes are made by hand, in smallbatches with an obsessive attention to detail. The flavor is phenomenal. Comes wrapped in a muslin bag. P-RLD 1 lb fruit cake, 6 inches long, serves 8-10 $65

Vintage Fruitcakes 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 the summer of 2014 Robert made a small number 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 aficionado's treat. Get yours quick, they sell out every year. Gift boxed.

Panettone

You know it's Christmas in Italy when the panettone start appearing in shop windows. They're the fluffy, tall cakes that are seasoned with candied citrus and packaged like something you'd give the Pope. We’ve had great traditional Italian panettone every Christmas since our doors opened in 1982.

Traditional Panettone

Panettone Balsamico

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. Wrapped and ribboned. P-ANE 750 g, serves 10-12 $55

Balsamic is laced through this cake, forming a ribbon of dark glaze. Instead of finding panettone’s traditional gems of dried fruit you’ll discover veins of cherry-sweet, luscious caramel. The gift box is vintage Italian graphic design, classically gorgeous. P-BPN 750 g cake, serves 10-12 $80

the french have a way with walnuts

Chocolate Covered Walnuts

In the Périgord region of Southwestern France, walnut orchards blanket the landscape. The locals make walnut wine, walnut eau-de-vie, walnut cakes, walnut breads, salami and cheese with walnuts…the list goes on. One of the most luscious walnut creations I’ve ever had comes from Domaine de Bequignol where they subject these famous nuts to four flavor-enhancing techniques. First they’re 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. Twelve perfect nuts per box makes enough to share. Or not. P-CCW 80 g box, 12 nuts $16 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

Peppy Peppermint Bark

I’m a sucker for traditions, especially when they’re this delicious. Peppermint bark has been a Christmas staple for my family thanks to my great-aunt Caddy’s sweet tooth and love of Fannie Farmer’s confections. While I’ll never forget Aunt Caddy, this peppermint bark from Chocolate Signatures in Toronto has erased all memories of that other candymaker. Dark Belgian chocolate is topped with white chocolate, then coated in a layer of crushed peppermint candies. Each slab of bark is nearly a quarter inch tall and thick with peppermint. Comes in a hot red tin. P-PBK 220 g tin $20 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

I’ve never really offered a ‘normal box of chocolates’ and thankfully, that streak is still alive. This assorted box of pralines and caramels is anything but normal. Made by hand here in Ann Arbor by Cathy Selin, a transplant from New York City (the Chelsea neighborhood to be exact, thus the name). Cathy does everything herself with painstaking detail. Her ganache alone takes four days to create. Each box includes almond pralines and burnt sugar caramels, fifteen pieces in total. Nestled in a handsome box, tied with a ribbon, it’s a classic gift for any chocolate lover. Aside from the Plaza Hotel and the Ritz Carlton, Zingerman’s is the only place you can find Cathy’s chocolates so check 'em out—quantities are extremely limited.

Clementines in Chocolate

These once-unheard-of figs have become one of our most popular holiday gifts. Tender, sweeter than usual parito figs from Southwest Spain are dried, filled with soft chocolate truffle cream and a hint of liqueur, then dipped in dark chocolate. They’re as good as they sound, perhaps better, and beat your mallbought chocolates any day. The small sizes make great stocking stuffers, the bigger boxes perform amazing feats as host gifts.

A rarely seen specialty from Calabria. The Favella Ranch is near Sibari in Southern Italy, which, if you’re up on ancient Greek history, you might recognize as the place where the Sybarites lived and ate famously well. 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.

calabrian citrus Chocolate Covered Orange Peels For fifty years the folks at Dolci Pensieri di Calabria have been preserving their famed local citrus. They start with fresh, aromatic Calabrian oranges. The peels and pith are removed by hand, the peels cut into strips. They’re candied in a sugar bath and put in an oven at low heat for hours to caramelize. Finally, they’re hand dipped into a bath of 40-percent cacao chocolate. The slight bitterness of the orange peel is tamed by the smooth coat of chocolate, leaving a clean, fruity finish in your mouth as the chocolate melts. If you’re like me and avoid most citrus-flavored chocolates because of their chemical aftertaste these will change your whole outlook. P-OCP 150 g box $20 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

Northern Italian nougat

Hazelnut Nougat from Northern Italy

David Barbero’s family has been making 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.” I love how lunch is so important. Barbero torrone is gently crumbly, delicious, spiked with loads of famous Piemontese hazelnuts. And in this classic Northern Italian graphic-designed tin it makes a great gift.

Pistachio Nougat from Sicily

Maria Grammatico has been making torrone for over seven decades. Her classic torrone recipe is simple, just five ingredients: egg whites, honey, sugar, Sicilian almonds and pistachios. Everything is done by hand right down to the plain, individual wrapping of the bars. If you buy one of these I guarantee that when you take it out of the box you will be underwhelmed. Maria is obviously not spending her time on packaging. Then you will taste it and be utterly blown away. Torrone is typically very sweet, but Maria’s is more complex in flavor and texture than any other soft torrone I’ve had. The pistachio flavor rings through, like a bell.

Spanish Drinking Chocolate

This stuff gives new and very seriously sensual meaning to the words “hot chocolate.” When you read about chocolate being the morning beverage of Renaissance royalty in Europe, this is what they were drinking. I know it’s hard to believe anything this good could come from a pre-packed mix, but it does. So thick, so chocolatey, so intensely rich, it’s almost impossible to describe. If any beverage is better than sex, this is it. A huge hit, we always sell every bag we can import. Buy yours quick. P-CDC 200 g, 6 servings $9

In Spain they’ll drink this morning, noon and night. Stateside, it's hard to get our hands on it. When the chance presents itself we jump at it — if you see it in stock, my advice is to buy it. You can make it as thick as you want by mixing the chocolate pellets with milk. For a truly indulgent chocolate experience, go heavy on the chocolate. Slow, low heat, constant stirring and a little patience will produce one of the most luscious and rich elixirs you've ever sipped. This is one hot chocolate we adults can keep all to ourselves.

victorian christmas deSsERT

English Christmas Pudding

The roots of this Christmas pudding go back to Victorian England. The holiday pudding would be made from brandy soaked dried fruits, sugar, eggs, lots of spice and just enough flour to hold it all together. Traditionally it was aged during the month leading up to Christmas, then steamed and eaten for dessert at the holiday feast. Thursday’s Cottage in Essex crafts this version with dried currants and red and white raisins that are soaked in Cognac to intensify their flavor and give them a juicier texture. They use their own orange marmalade—they’re first and foremost a preserve maker— in this recipe as well as sugar, flour, citrus peels, cinnamon, cloves, ginger and another touch of Cognac before steaming it for half a day or more. The pudding is aged for weeks to allow the flavors to meld and mature. It’s traditional to steam the pudding for a couple of hours before serving, but Victorians didn’t have microwaves, which do the same job in seconds. Serve for dessert in thin slices drizzled with hot brandy butter. P-PUD 454 g, serves 8 $40 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

Candied Fruits

Candying is an ancient method of preserving. Soaking fruits in a bath of simple sugar halts ripening and, when done well, creates a host of new flavors to experience. This is a centuries-old European Christmas tradition. We have three fruits that are amazing examples of this ancient art.

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.

Spanish meat chOcolaTE Ibérico Bellota 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 acorns (bellotas) the last months of their lives. 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 meat chocolate on your tongue—it immediately puddles, the flavor releasing itself in the process. M-LOM about 1.1 lbs $150

and then there's spreadable meat 'Nduja from La Quercia

'Nduja is a specialty of Calabria in Italy, where they love chiles and anything spicy. It's a salami of sorts, but rather than coarsely grinding meat and making it sliceable, this is ground fine enough to be spreadable. Traditionally, this would have been made from the “poor cuts” of preserved pork. Enter La Quercia, American Prosciutto makers in Norwalk, Iowa. Herb and Kathy Eckhouse make their 'Nduja from prosciutto and speck, the polar opposite of poor cuts. The meats are ground and blended with red pepper to make a spreadable treat that spices up all sorts of dishes. Toss a dollop with pasta, spread it on a burger, vegetables, or good crusty bread. Any dish that could use a little character is fair game. It’s spicy, but not terribly hot, so go to town. M-NDJ-S 5 oz package $12 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

Cured ham is probably the oldest form of charcuterie—and one of the tastiest. In practice, it's simple. Salt the ham, let it hang for a year, then eat. Like with anything simple the raw ingredient is key. Find a pig with full flavor and you're much more likely to get a ham that tastes great. We carry cured hams from across the flavor spectrum in sliced packages or in big, whole pieces you can slice yourself. A big ham lasts for months and is a stellar centerpiece— and an amazing gift for a ham aficionado. We include care and slicing instructions. We've also got a ham stand that helps prop up bone-in hams, check it out online.

Bacon endures so many short cuts. I'm talking commercial bacon, grocery store bacon. Bellies injected with water to add weight. Curers, if you can call them that, who speed up the process with too many chemicals. Excess sugar and salt to overcome a lack of flavor. Liquid smoke! Not one of these crimes is committed against the members of our bacon roster, the cream of America's bacon crop. Might as well get three or four. Bacon freezes fabulously and there are few foods you can stock in your kitchen that reduce stress more effectively than a couple pounds of just-in-case bacon.

Nueske's Applewood Smoked 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.

soft and sweet Borsellino Salamis

La Quercia's borsellino sausage is soft, sweet, porky and even a little earthy. Somewhere between a quarter and a half-dollar in diameter, its natural casing is stuffed with pork that's coarsely ground, liberally littered with morsels of fat. They're mild but substantial, without the heavy salting that you often find in other salamis. Serve them on a cheese plate or toss chunks into pasta or salads. Throw one into your backpack the next time you head out for a hike, borsellino can go for hours—or days—without refrigeration. Like all their meats, La Quercia's salamis are made from hogs raised naturally, without hormones or sub-therapeutic antibiotics.

the quiet american Salami Americano

Many Americanized European foods trade subtlety for boldness, like American small-batch beers, which use loads of hops and explode with aroma. Not so with La Quercia’s Salami Americano. It’s not exactly retiring, but it isn’t all up in your face, either. What it has is a gentle, complex flavor, a flavor that makes you reach for another bite, again and again. Dry cured and aged for three months, it’s made from cuts of Duroc and Berkshire-Lancaster hogs. There are fine pieces of melt-in-your-mouth fat spread throughout, giving it a buttery texture. Very meaty with just a hint of garlic and pepper. M-SLA 1 lb piece $28 M-SLA-S 3 oz sliced $12 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

the next bEsT thing Is preTty goOd Crespone and Felino Salamis

Living in America we are forbidden from importing Cuban cigars, Iranian saffron (at least for now)—and Italian salami. The salami ban makes little sense to me, but the FDA makes the rules. We're left with the next best thing which, to be honest, has gotten quite good: the cured meats from the recipes of Francois Vecchio. Crespone, made in the style of Verona, and Felino, the king of Italian salamis. Both are coarsely cut creations, with 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. M-CRE crespone, about 2/3 lb $27 M-FEL felino, about 2 lbs $65

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.

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. P-ROC 4.9 oz tin $30

Razor clams, named for the way their shell resembles a straight razor—are the red headed stepchild of the clam world. Littlenecks, manilas and cockles get all the attention. Razor clams languish, rarely seen on restaurant menus or at the fish monger’s. Lucky for us Ramon Peña specializes in overlooked sea creatures, especially ones that are tasty. And razor clams are indeed tasty. Their shape makes their texture a bit different than a regular clam, more like octopus or squid. The flavor is deep and briny. Tinned simply in olive oil these are a great gift for a curious seafood seeker. P-RCL 138 g tin $39

Portuguese Sardines

Portuguese trinity

Tuna is our top-selling tinned seafood, but sardines aren't too far behind. It's surprising to me since sardines are not a big part of the popular food scene in America. One thing to know is 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. 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.) P-SAR 125 g classic (illustrated) $7 4 or more $5.50 each P-SEV 110 g extra virgin $9 4 or more $7.50 each

Portuguese Squid Three squids, cooked just till tender, the bodies stuffed with tentacles so they almost look like seafood sausages. Which is pretty much what they are. A little smoky, a little sweet, you can open the tin, pop ‘em in your mouth as is, chop them into pieces for an appetizer, or add them to a little warm chickpea salad with cilantro.

pePpered bacon farm

parmesan pepPEr heretic's loaf

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. 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. B-BAC ¾ lb handmade loaf $14 SHIPS 2 BUSINESS DAY

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. B-PEP 1¼ lb handmade loaf $16

new mexico green chile & cheDdar

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.

Michigan Maple Cutting Board

Everyone from Michigan can skip ahead. For the rest of you, a couple brief notes. One, this is the shape of the lower half of Michigan; it looks like a mitten. Two, Michiganders love this fact. For example, ask someone from Michigan where they’re from. They’ll lift their right hand like they’re swearing in at court. With their left index finger they’ll point to somewhere on the palm and say “here.” We consider this behavior completely normal. This cutting board—or serving board, it can do double duty—makes a great gift for a Michigander, especially one who has been expatriated. The company that makes it has been in business since 1881. They are from Michigan. The maple wood is from Michigan. It’s especially handy for serving Michigan cheese and cherries. Apologies to Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, we don’t have a cutting board for you yet. P-MIT 17 x 13 inches $85

Deluxe bread warmer Pewabic Bread Warming Tile

Detroit's storied tileworks, Pewabic Pottery, has made striking, naturalistic Arts & Craft tiles for over a century. They grace churches and mantles from Palmer Park to New York's Upper East Side. Since earthenware tile holds heat well it makes a natural food warmer. When you heat bread, keep this beautiful, fawn-colored tile in the oven and add it to the bread basket you put on the table. It'll keep the slices toasty all dinner long. Unwarmed, it also does duty as a handsome trivet. P-PEW 7" diameter $90 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

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

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. B-MON-A ¾ kilo handmade loaf $12 B-MON-B 2 kilo handmade “Z” loaf $26

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.

southern Italy Peranzana from Molise

The olive oil with Zingerman’s label is created 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, it's hugely flavorful. The latest vintage has pleasing aromas of green tomato and freshly cut grass. The flavor has notes of artichoke and black olive. It finishes with mild green-olive bitterness and a bit of a peppery tickle. O-ZIN 500 ml $29 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

NortheRn Italy Roi from Liguria

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.

Podere di Pillore

From the hills above Florence. Oil-maker Alberto Passigli gets the big picture and the details of olive-oil making right. The olive groves are on well-drained slopes and pruned vigorously by his foreman who’s been tending the trees for over five decades. Made entirely from Alberto’s own organic olives, the oil is stored in a series of traditional, antique terra cotta vessels, some over 100 years old. It’s hand bottled to order with labels printed at the venerable Florentine shop of Pineider, the source for Dickens’ stationery. It’s one of the only oils in Tuscany that was bottled in 2014 after a disastrous harvest. O-POD 500 ml $45 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

Mariano only makes oil when it’s good and some years we go with no harvest. This year it’s back and it’s delicious. Terese Arrojo is an utterly unique, unfiltered extra virgin organic oil from the rarely visited Sierra de Gredos, the wild, sparsely settled mountain region of Spain not far from the Portuguese border. No pressing is used in the production, so yields are half the commercial norm. How do you make olive oil without pressing olives? Mariano bottles only the “flower of the oil,” which are the drips that fall naturally from crushed olives. It’s bottled unfiltered, leaving it lusciously cloudy in the bottle, my favorite kind of oil. Great on salads, with grilled meats of all sorts or on bean dishes. Better yet, just pour it on a nice thick slice of toasted Farm Bread, sprinkle on a pinch of sea salt and add a couple slices of ripe tomatoes and enjoy the fruits of Mariano’s labor.

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

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

Holiday Only Muraglia Olive Oil

From Puglia, the heel of Italy’s boot, comes this spicy, racy extra virgin olive oil. Made from 100% Coratina olives, this one ain’t for everybody. But the oil aficionados who crave intensity will be blown away by its big, bold body and grassy, peppery finish. Fittingly, the bottle is just as intense as the oil within. I rarely sell things based on packaging but for this I’ve made an exception. It’s stunning. Ceramic artists create each bottle by hand, about three per hour, which makes up quite a bit of the cost. The glaze is a vibrant, seasonally appropriate red. Not only is it beautiful to look at, it’s good for the oil, protecting it from light which causes olive oil to lose its flavor. Keep it around and you can fill it with new oil when you run out. Very limited supply. O-MUR 500 ml red ceramic bottle $60 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

One Family's Vinegar

why we carry the vinegar of one balsamic maker While we carry different vinegars and olive oils from different farms and acetaias we only carry one family's everyday balsamic: La Vecchia Dispensa. 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 outstanding balsamics. And while I've probably tasted another fifty balsamics since we started carrying theirs a decade and a half ago none have come close in terms of balance and flavor. 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 Vecchia Dispensa. They have a legion of followers who return to them again and again. A staff and customer favorite, their 10 year aged balsamic is the most intensely flavored balsamic of its age I’ve ever tried. Its complexity, with rich flavors of oak, blackberry and dark fruit, is partly due to aging in very small batches. That allows more evaporation and contact with the barrel—both of which contribute to more intense flavors. Although aged for only 25 percent longer than the 8 year balsamic, the intensity of flavor is almost double. As you move up the age range—to 16 year and 30 year—the liquor thickens, the sweetness enhances, the caramelization takes you on a wild ride of flavor.

We have a stellar collection of legendary tradizionali balsamics online. From $125.

IRresiStible italIAn fruits

Wild Cherries and Hand-Picked Apricots 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—everyone wanted seconds and my family is big—and 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 each holiday and their fans gobble them up. This year for the first time, I've got a new fruit—soft, tender apricots, hand harvested and rushed into a simple syrup bath within hours. The rushing 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.

Italy, America, France and England. Four of the world's great cheesemaking countries. And— at least in my opinion—four of their greatest cheeses.

Parmigiano-Reggiano Not all the wheels that bear the world famous Parmigiano-Reggiano name are created equal. There are big differences from one to the next. This is both a success story and a problem for the cheese. It's been so effectively marketed to the world everyone knows it. A huge success. But it's been sold as one cheese when there are big differences in how different farmers feed their animals, how the cheese is made and cared for, and how it's aged. We tasted dozens of different producers to select ours, and it's our all-time best selling cheese bar none. It 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 other Parmesans.

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. Since we've been working so closely with the maker we have the opportunity to select specific days of cheese, tasting from a series of different days of production to pick the most flavorful of the bunch.

Similar cheese. Different maker. Different style. Different flavor. Here are two takes on Cheddar, Gouda and sheep's milk cheese. They make an interesting contrast for a cheese fan, or, on a cheese tray for some friends, a delicious conversation piece.

Cabot Montgomeryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s English Clothbound Clothbound Cheddar The closest thing to the original ched American dar being made on the planet, made Cheddar Cloth-wrapped traditional cheddar from Cabot Farms and Jasper Hill in Vermont has a beefy, bold flavor. The texture is flakier and less rubbery than waxed cheddar since cloth permits the cheese to breath. Quite possibly America's best cheddar. C-CCC by the lb $38 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

But here in Ann Arbor, special occasions are marked most often by buttercream cakes. Buttercream cakes are like the traditional birthday cake you grew up with, except—and I say this with all due respect to mother’s everywhere including mine—way more flavor and distinction.

Platinum PLated pIg La Quercia’s Acorn Edition Ham La Quercia’s acorn edition ham is made to the highest standards for any ham I’ve ever had. These unsmoked hams, aged for an exceptional two to three years, are from cross-bred Berkshire and Cheshire White pigs who lived the last four months of their lives feasting on acorns, just as the famed Ibérico hogs do in Spain. It’s just that these do it in the Midwest. The effect of an acorn diet on the ham’s fat is magical. It softens it, lowering its melting point to near body temperature so that when you bite into a piece it practically melts on your tongue. This is an exceptional eating experience. If you’re looking for something special, there isn’t anything quite like it. Only thirty of these hams are available in the country each year. If you are looking for an extraordinary gift for a serious food lover this is it. Shipped without ice. It’s been cured at ambient temperatures so it’s built to last. Lasts for months when stored in a cool spot. Storage instructions included. M-AEH 16 lbs, whole ham, bone in $1,000 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

Vinegar Rarities

America’s balsamic moonshot Aceto Balsamico of Monticello, New Mexico

A traditional balsamic vinegar made in the US? It’s true. It’s more than possible to make something “old” in someplace “new” and have it be just as delicious (if not better). Enter Steve Darland and his traditional balsamic made in Monticello, New Mexico. His balsamic is made from organic trebbiano grapes that he grows on his vineyard; the same grapes they use in Italy. He ages the grape juice in casks made by famed cooper Francesco Renzi, the master cask maker of Modena, Italy. For the past seventeen years Steve has been blending his different vintages of vinegar in his own acetaia located at the vineyard. He moves his vinegar through casks made of seven different woods and each imparts its own special character to the flavor of the vinegar. Smooth, sweet, and rich with notes of blackberry, tart cherry and even a little vanilla. See how delicious new traditions can be. V-BNM 4 ½ oz bottle $200 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

desSert wiNe vinegaR Grand Reserve Banyuls Vinegar

Banyuls is a little-known dessert wine made in Southern France. A tiny amount is made into an even lesser-known vinegar—an extremely delicious one that we’ve carried for almost two decades. It’s usually aged about six years in oak. This year about five hundred bottles came on the market that were aged over eight years, a 33% increase in the barrel. The extra aging has taken Banyuls’s sherry tang and subtle sweetness to a much more pronounced, much more exciting level. We've bought all we could for the second year running, which means there are about 300 bottles. It’s first come first served, so come quickly. V-GRB 250 ml bottle $30 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

a novel take on balsamic

Beer Balsamic Vinegar

Move over grapes, beer is here. Hungary has the latest, greatest take on balsamic vinegar, and it’s a hopped up version made from beer. Krizsta and Reiner Pödör started making vinegars using traditional balsamic methods more than 50 years ago. After lots of trial and error, they came up with a balsamic they loved—and then, on a bet made in a pub, they took it a step further and experimented with adding an Austrian dark beer to the mix. The resulting beer balsamic is malty, earthy, bright and tart yet balanced with a deep sweetness. It’s well beyond gimmick and just plain delicious. Great for drizzling on roasted meats or steaks, in vinaigrettes, on bruschetta, or sprinkled on bar food. V-BBL 100 ml bottle $25 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

Boat Street Pickled Cherries

Renee Erickson, chef and owner of Boat Street Kitchen in Seattle, has taken Bing cherries to the next level by pickling them in a mixture of apple cider vinegar, cane sugar, and spices ranging from cloves, mace, and nutmeg to Tellicherry black pepper and lime zest. Those flavors come out one by one: first the warmth of the spices, then a bright tartness from the vinegar, and at last that cherry sweetness shines in the finish. An outstanding addition to roast duck, gooey cheeses, or smeared in a salami sandwich. Then for dessert try ‘em on ice cream or cheesecake. P-PKC 6 oz jar $16 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

Saucy jAm

Whiskey Peach Jam Maura Gramzinski made her first batch of Whiskey Peach Deliciousness—AKA jam— from her own peach trees and entered it in the county fair. She promptly won the blue ribbon and her company RedCamper was born. Maura and her small crew only use fruit when it’s in season and keep most of their sourcing to one region of Colorado (the whiskey is from Leopold Brothers—ex Ann Arborites!—in Denver). Capturing the flavor and texture of peaches in a preserve is notoriously difficult, but Maura knocks it out of the park. The whiskey balances the sweetness, giving this simple jam complexity and depth. Miraculous mixed with yogurt, atop fresh cheese or even as a glaze for grilled chicken.

Finger Lime Marmalade The finger lime, native to Australia, looks nothing like the round green baubles we know here. About the length and shape of a pinky finger, the thin peel holds tiny pink pearls of fruit inside. They spill out like caviar when you tear the green-black peel and taste more floral and less sour than any other lime you’re tried in your life.

Eating Marc Cooper’s salted caramel is the food equivalent of slipping into satin sheets. This is some of the silkiest stuff I’ve ever tasted. Coop spent years as an ice cream maker, and since he decided to turn his attention to making the toppings the results have been outrageously good. First was the ultra chocolatey hot fudge (p. 24). Now comes this slow-running, oozy caramel that strikes a perfect balance between sweet with just enough salt to add a little interest. It has just six ingredients, all of which are easy to pronounce. Use it to add some flair to ice cream, toast, fresh fruit, pound cake, coffee, or your fingers.

Smoky Surprise

Smoked Arbequina Olive Oil I used to think smoked flavors should only be reserved for meat and fish, maybe a cheese or two. Not olive oil. Then I tasted this. My prejudice was gone like a puff of smoke (sorry, I couldn’t resist). This is one stand-out, delicious olive oil. Instead of overwhelming the delicate flavors of this 100% arbequina olive oil from the Castillo de Canena estate in Andalusia, the smoke adds complexity and even a bit of sweetness. You’ll notice hints of vanilla and burnt sugar, especially in the finish. Cold infused with the smoke of oak, beech and birch wood. O-SMO 250 ml bottle $35 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

another Take ON balsamic

Date Balsamic Vinegar Colleen Sundlie fell in love with date syrup while traveling in the Middle East. She brought that love back to the states and launched her own date-centric company. To make this syrup, she starts with fresh dates and heats them slightly to extract the syrup. She combines 94% syrup with 6% balsamic vinegar from Modena and cooks them down together just a tad. The result is luscious, bright, slightly sweet, really complex. Drizzle it over good goat cheese on toast, pour it on waffles or oatmeal or ice cream, use it in a vinaigrette or as a glaze for pork loin. Organic, Vegan, Kosher, Gluten-free, Dolphin Safe, good for everybody. P-DBS 7 oz bottle $15 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

Salted Caramel Corn What kind of magic is going on here I do not know. As a lifelong fan of homemade stovetop popcorn I’ve usually resisted attempts to put sugar in my salted treasure. Popcorn has salt, butter, maybe cheese, full stop. This popcorn converted me. Maybe it’s the brown sugar. Maybe it’s the extra helping of pink sea salt. Maybe the vanilla powder, a surprise ingredient that performs a host of culinary tricks, contributing a flower-and-smoke aroma and a mild pepperiness. Frankly, I don’t care to overanalyze it. Suffice it to say it’s got a sweet-and-savory balance that’s rare to find in caramel corn, and a must-haveanother-handful that makes it a go-to snack.

Nutsz Maple Walnuts from Old School Favorites, is a small, family-run company in Southampton, New York. They source high quality walnuts from California and candy them in a sweet jacket of maple syrup from upstate New York. The result is totally addictive, the pot of gold at the end of my quest. Crunchy, with a dark, woody sweetness, the nuts are awesome by the handful, great in salads, and the perfect pairing for any cheese tray. P-NMW 7 oz box $22 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

Osso Buco is a 19th century Milanese dish that, luckily, has never gone out of style. It’s a cut of shank, cooked for hours in a slow braise of wine, tomato, carrots, celery, and onions. Traditionally it’s made with veal but it’s also delicious with pork— especially when the pork is from Red Wattle hogs, whose fat turns meltingly tender.

Pork Loins The loin is one of the leaner cuts on a pig which often leaves it lacking flavor. Not so with these. We’ve got a supply of loins from heirloom Red Wattle and Berkshire pigs. Both of them are old breeds of pig that were raised for flavor, not fashion. A century or two ago you’d have found Red Wattle pork on tables in New Orleans where they were a popular pig, sporting meat that could pair well with the region’s full-flavored cooking. Berkshires were found a little further north and in England. There was almost no supply for us home cooks. Until now. The pork comes from hogs that are raised impeccably.

gelt Grown up Chanukah Gelt

The best tasting—and most authentic looking—gelt I’ve ever encountered. Gold and silver dusted disks (no foil wrapping here) from Veruca Chocolates in Chicago are formed to look like Judean coins circa 40 B.C. The real treasure is their flavor: dark chocolate with crunchy crystals of sea salt, an adult balance of sweet and savory. A great gift for every day of Chanukah. Quantities limited. P-GLT 16 piece box $25 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

choCOlate light Chocolate Menorah by Michel Cluizel We found this Kosher work of art from master French Chocolatier, Michel Cluizel. Each candle is cast in solid dark (55%) chocolate from the base to the flame. A fun, clever and delicious way to celebrate the holiday. Note that it looks a little different than our illustration this year, we didn't have time to draw a new one for the catalog. Six inches long. P-MNR chocolate menorah $40 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

cake of light Zingerman’s Olive Oil Cake

Made with toasted almonds, lemon zest—nearly a whole lemon’s worth per cake—and lots of excellent extra virgin olive oil. It’s moist, tender, with a flavor that lingers long after the slice is sent south. The olive oil makes the cake retain more moisture than butter so it has a lovely, soft texture that stays that way for days and days. The oil also makes the cake an appropriate symbolic dish for Chanukah. We send each cake safely and attractively packaged in our cartoon box or handsome wooden crate. Serves 5-7.

Coconut Macaroons

Mandelbread

Hamentaschen

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. Boxed. A-MAC 6 vanilla, 6 chocolate $25

Mandelbread are Jewish style biscotti, but I think they're almost closer to shortbread. Toasted almonds get the spotlight here. There are almost more than can fit. The rest of the mandelbread is held together with fresh eggs and sweet butter, and the flavor is amplified with fresh lemon and orange zest and a dose of real vanilla. P-MND 21 piece box $30

Scrumptious triangle-shaped, open faced cookie dough pastries usually eaten during the Jewish celebration of Purim. It's clear Purim is much too brief a holiday to get your fill so we bake them all year long. The simple real-butter dough is loaded with an assortment of traditional fillings: vanilla bean cream cheese, poppyseed and apricot. P-HAM 12 piece box $30

Chocolate Christmas Ornament

One of the prettiest foods we’ve found in years. Well, the packaging at least. What’s inside is just plain tasty. A Belgian chocolate sphere hand wrapped in decorative foil, capped and strung with a ribbon, ready to hang on the tree or attach to gifts. The foil pattern is styled after one favored by Peter the Great, who, apparently, had time to pick his favorite wrapping paper in between founding St. Petersburg and declaring war on Sweden. It lends your tree a little Russian aristocratic flair, which goes surprisingly well with Modern American Christmas. Guaranteed to turn the chore of breaking down the tree into a welcome event.
