FABULOUS CHOCOLATE DIPPED FRUITS
clementines in chocolate 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 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.

fiGgy choCOlate Chocolate Dipped Figs from Spain These once unheard of figs have become one of our most popular holiday gifts.

They’re as good as they sound, perhaps better, and beat your mall-bought chocolates any day. The small sizes make great stocking stuffers, the bigger boxes perform amazing feats as host gifts. Any chocolate lover—which, let's face it, means 85% of humanity—will go gaga for them.

Toasted and spread with a little sweet butter, it’s delicious and is perhaps rivaled only by our own coffeecake (p. 46) as a great afternoon snack cake.

Beyond thE maL l 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. With serving instructions.

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.

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.

it's always 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.

american cheese renaissance American Cheese Club
Twenty years ago you could count the number of great American cheeses on two hands. Maybe that’s exaggerating, but not by much. Back then, being a small-scale cheesemaker was like being a beekeeper—a strange hobby with little reward or recognition. Half the cheesemakers crafted nearly identical tiny wheels of goat’s milk cheese, which, given that we had no American goat cheese tradition to speak of, cheese shops insisted on calling chèvre, the French word for goat. If you went into any serious cheese shop in America in 1994, chances are the only American cheeses you found were chèvres and cheddars. Have things ever changed. This monthly club celebrates some of our favorite cheesemakers. While their cheeses may not be traditional in the European sense of having been made the same way for over a century, they’re all made by hand, using traditional methods, often with milk from the herd they milk themselves, something fewer and fewer European makers can claim.
Included in Every Shipment Profiles of the makers, serving tips, two cheeses totaling over one pound.

Salamis and sausages are made by grinding different cuts and merging them to cure. Primals are made by curing whole cuts, like loins and hams. Here are two of my favorites.
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 chocolate on your tongue—it immediately puddles, the flavor releasing itself in the process. M-LOM about 1.1 lbs $150

and now for 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 a sort, but rather than coarsely grinding meat and making it sliceable, this is ground even finer so it's 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 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 12 oz package $29 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

Crespone Salami
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. Made in the style of Verona a coarse cut creation, 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 $26 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE
Italian via iowa 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-theraputic antibiotics.

La Quercia Prosciutto Americano Cured Ham If you want to get an introduction to cured American ham you couldn’t do much better than to start with Prosciutto Americano. This is La Quercia's mildest, most straightforward cured meat, the one they sell more of than any other. It’ll remind you of Italian prosciutto but the flavors are more forward and there’s more of a mineral tang to the finish. While Italian prosciutto is made with standard breed white pigs raised without any guarantee of their conditions, this is made exclusively from Niman Ranch naturally raised pork. There are no hormones, no sub-therapeutic antibiotics. The pigs are far from being confined; they have access to the outof-doors and room to root and roam. The pork is not smoked; it's simply cured with sea salt and hung to age for just under a year at Herb’s cured ham house in Norwalk, Iowa. M-PAM whole, deboned, unsliced, about 7 lbs $275 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE
or here
Broadbent Smoked Cured Ham If you're new to American cured ham, here's another place to start. Broadbent is a classic salt-cured and smoked ham (unlike Prosciutto Americano, above, which is not smoked). It's 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 many other American hams we sell which are aged for longer. M-BKM whole, bone-in unsliced, 12-14 lbs $130 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

Iberico Dry Cured Ham
Iberico pigs are basically the heirloom breed of heirloom breeds, the flavor standard against which all other pork for cured meats is measured. Its flavor and unique melt-on-the-tongue fat is unmatched by any other meat out there. In Spain, Iberico is served and eaten as simply as simple can be. No melon, no fruit, no nuts—just a plate with ham. Here it's sliced paper thin, like Prosciutto di Parma. Serve Iberico ham at room temperature. The eating experience is radically better that way. M-BLR 2 ounces, sliced very thin $20
We maintain dozens of cured hams in our aging vault, ready to be shipped to pork-o-philes at a moment's notice. No other mail order source in America carries as wide a range of European and American cured hams, from the peanut-fed Berkshire hams of Sam Edwards to the ultra-smokey cult hams of Allan Benton in Tennesse, to La Quercia's delicate Italian-style wonders cured in Norwalk, Iowa, to the ham world's most prized pork: Spain's acorn-fed bellota hams from Ibérico hogs.

We take deep pride in sourcing and offering a small but excellent collection of cheeses, tending them in our cave, cutting them to order by hand and sending them with careful packaging so they arrive in great condition.

It keeps them looking great, feeling great and tasting great. Makes a great gift for any cheese lover you know, including you.

UniversalLy imitated, never replicated Montgomery’s Farmhouse Cheddar
Like the British Empire, cheddar conquered the world—it’s the planet’s most widely copied cheese. Ironically, with so much emphasis on imitation, the original has become an endangered species. Montgomery’s is one of only three farms in its ancestral homeland making truly traditional farmhouse English cheddar. Big, clothbound drums are made by veteran cheesemaker Steve Bridges every day except Friday. All the milk comes from Jamie Montgomery’s herd of just under 200 Holstein-Fresian cows, which graze on a nearby hill rumored, incidentally, to be the site of Camelot. Each one is spoken for—they’re taking no new customers. Other cheesemakers have started returning to aging cheddar in cloth, not wax—notably Cabot, see next page—but like all old methods, it takes more than copying to master it. No other cheddar comes close to the penetrating, grassy, beefy, brothy flavor of Montgomery’s. C-EFC ½ lb hand cut $22 by the pound $40 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE
king of KINGS
Farmhouse 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 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. C-PAR 1 lb hand cut for dinner $32 2 lbs hand cut to save $60 4 lbs for an addict $110 8 lbs to share $200 80 lb wheel $1,800 80 lb wheel hand delivered by Mo $2,500

CHEese candy L'amuse Gouda
While Gouda is made everywhere in Holland, there are major differences between goudas from different regions. These wheels are made in the north from the milk of Holstein cows, two factors that give the cheese a distinctive creaminess speckled with big, crunchy flavor crystals. Selected for us by Betty Koster of L'amuse, Amsterdam's top cheese shop, aged for over two years, the flavor is correspondingly intense. It fills your mouth with butterscotch and caramel, almost like a dessert. In fact, a single nib, taken with espresso after dinner, is a revelation.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. We went to Spain and selected a single great batch of Bonito loin, our best seller, for fullness of flavor, siky texutre, and lingering sweetness. A Zingerman's exclusive. Kosher.

Decades ago chefs used to select their preferred tuna batches from the factory at Ortiz, Spain’s highly esteemed fifth generation tinned fish titan. Cheesemongers still do this with cheese, in fact it’s a specialty of some exporters like Neal’s Yard Dairy and Essex Street Cheese. But it’s something that hasn’t been done for decades with tinned fish. Last fall I went to Getaria, a fishing village in Northern Spain off the Bay of Biscay, to taste all the batches of tuna Ortiz had tinned that summer for America to select the most promising. We bought all of it, a single shoal of amazing fish that resulted in some 40,000+ tins. We’re going to age some of it and sell the rest for as long as we have it. It was the first time in a generation this has been done and I think it’s resulted in a great tinned tuna. Enjoy.

sargASso’s Surprise Smoked Eel
I understand that the name may put you off. Eels just don’t sound appetizing. I assure you they are—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. P-EEL 105 g tin $17 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

you'd be suRprisEd Portuguese Sardines
Tuna is our best-selling seafood, but sardines are no slouch. We sell loads of tins and I’m beginning to think it’s not a fluke because the numbers keep going up every year in a way that would make the Chinese economy jealous. There are real sardine lovers out there, and there are lots of you. Stand up, don’t be shy. With these sardines this good you don’t have to be. 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. Open a tin, and you’ll find four or five fine silver sardines nestled inside. I like to serve them simply, laid on a slice of toasted farm bread and dressed with great olive oil. Add a pinch of salt, a twist of black pepper, a squeeze of lemon and eat ‘em up.

cult-like, In a goOd way Maussane Olive Oil This is a unique oil that’s got one of the most dedicated followings I’ve ever witnessed. We tracked it down years ago at the adamant insistence of Nancy Harmon Jenkins, one of the world’s most knowledgeable food folks, and it’s had a growing cadre of fans ever since. A rich, golden nectar with a distinctive herbal character no other oil can match, it sings with an unequaled pitch in its range of high and low flavor notes.

Zingerman’s 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.

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.

coastal tuscan masterpiece
Poggio Lamentano
Michael Zyw is a farmer and an artist and, appropriate to both, he crafted this oil and its label. The label is a pencil sketch, a complex study in grays and whites. The oil is also complex, but, by contrast, much more colorful. It has the bold pepperiness and green flavor of fresh cut grass and artichoke that are hallmarks of Tuscan oil, but the grove's location near the sea brings a softness. Where the oils from the Tuscan center are far more aggressive, the oils from the coast are relatively (for Tuscany) mellow. Lamentano starts big, softens a bit midway through and finishes with a meaningful but moderate amount of pepper. O-POG 500 ml bottle $40 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE
true Tuscan
Tenuta di Valgiano Savignola Paolina 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 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE
This is consistently one of our most popular oils, and a stand-out in Tuscany for its soft-edged intensity.

Candyman Charlie Frank isn't reinventing the wheel, just making it more delicious. In his classic brittle, Jumbo Runner peanuts jut like boulders from a shiny, golden candy sea. The texture looks silky but shatters in crisp shards with each bite. In his new chocolate version the crispiness is balanced by a silky cloak of chocolate. To achieve all this magic, Charlie makes small batches by hand with a watchful eye. This is stovetop brittle, not factory gristle, with butterscotch-brown flavor, sharp, crackly texture and a finishing savor of roasted peanuts.

Our search is over Coop's Hot Fudge
I’ve been patiently searching for a great hot fudge ever since Zingerman’s Creamery started making gelato a few years ago. Till now it’d been a sickly sweet, unlucky quest. Most have too much sugar. Many have a laundry list of unpronounceable ingredients. Then along came Coop’s. To be honest, the jar caught my eye first. A waxed seal drips from the top looking like chocolate that leaked out of the vat. Usually when I see clever packaging like this I’m suspect. It often overshadows the food. To my surprise the hot fudge inside was good. Not just good, pretty great. Sporting just six ingredients, all of which I promise you’ll recognize, Marc Cooper’s hot fudge is milky and chocolaty without being overly sweet.

cOConut's New jam
Baobab Jelly from Africa There's no tree more iconic to Africa than the Baobab. They call it the "upside down tree" because it's leafless for much of the year and looks like its roots are stretching into the air. It might be more apropros to call it the giving tree since it provides food, clothing, medicine, shelter and water to animals and humans across the African savannah. Its fruit is reminiscent of coconut. They're big—a few pounds each—and have a hard, smooth shell protecting white flesh inside that tastes bright with hints of vanilla. To make jam from them the fruit is sun dried to concentrate its sweetness, then macerated and mixed with a bit of water, sugar and just a touch of pectin to hold it all together. The result is a novel, delicious jam with a custardy texture. It's tart, with vanilla undertones and tastes like no other preserve I've tried in nearly twenty years of food finding. P-BAO 15.87 oz jar $12
Coconut Jam Across Southeast Asia they make Srikaya or simply Kaya. In Malaysia, the name means “rich” but a more detailed translation might also include "smooth," "creamy" and "more please." This version is made closer to home, in San Francisco, by slow cooking coconut milk, egg yolks and sugar. Its flavor is surprisingly complex for something with so few ingredients. It is deep and sweet like coconut custard, with a texture like lemon curd. Traditionally it’s spread on toast for a morning treat, but don’t stop there. Set it out with pretzels or apple slices for dipping, pair with fresh goat cheese, whirl into yogurt, put a dollop over ice cream or spoon it up right out of the jar in a dark closet.

Why we carry only one brand of balsamic The Balsamic Vinegars of La Vecchia Dispensa
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 carmelization takes you on a wild ride of flavor. EACH SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

Agrodolce White Balsamic Vinegar
Sometimes I can predict foods that are going to be a hit. Chocolate Sourdough Bread was a nobrainer. Chocolate Banana Bread, natch. And sometimes they catch us by surprise, like this. Agrodolce vinegar has been selling at incredible rates despite the obvious fact that it’s not exactly inexpensive. Why? Maybe it's because we've been noting how it tastes like balsamic but it's a white wine vinegar. More than anything else, I want to chalk up its success to its flavor. It’s exceptionally delicate, subtly sweet and really delicious. 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.

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.

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. P-ART 175 g jar, about 30 artichokes $25

sublime pork
Red Wattle Porterhouse Pork Chop
Red Wattle is an old breed of pig that was raised for flavor, not fashion. There's been almost no supply for us home cooks. Until now. Each bone-in porterhouse cut chop measures an inch and a quarter thick and tips the scales at fourteen ounces. The flavor is rich, herbaceous, even a little sweet. It packs more flavor than I’ve ever had in a pork chop. The crowning glory of Red Wattle pork, however, is its fat. When cooked it melts within the meat and softens its edge to a luscious, lipsmacking bite. This is melt-in-your mouth fat, the kind of succulent experience you expect in a great steaks. Chops ship frozen, though they may thaw and be cold, not hard, when they arrive. They come two to a pack. M-WAT-4 four 14 oz red wattle pork chops $80 M-WAT-8 eight 14 oz red wattle pork chops $140

Hang it, eat it
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. Belgian chocolate spheres hand wrapped in decorative foil, capped and strung with a ribbon, ready to hang on the tree or attach to gifts. The patterns are styled after those 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. They lend 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. P-YCP-4 box of four chocolate ornaments $45 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE
rum and CHocolate, ItalIan sTyle Rum Cunesi Truffles
Cunesi are rum and chocolate truffles, each massaged until it's as smooth as silk. A single cunesi just barely fits in your mouth. The chocolate pops and cracks and the rum seeps through the flavor, down your throat like molten lava. Packaged in gorgeous red and gold boxes. From Venchi, our long-time supplier of Hazelnut and Chocolate Spread (online) from Turin. P-HGU gift box of 9 $35 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE
calabrian citrus Chocolate Covered Candied Orange Peels
Candied in a sugar bath and put in an oven at low heat for hours to slightly caramelize, then dipped into a bath of 40% cacao chocolate. Goes great with a hot bath and a bottle of Bollinger champagne. P-OCP 150 g box $20 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE
dancing in their heads Elvas Sugarplums from Portugal
The long process of preserving and sweetening greengage plums—somewhat similar to what happens with marrons glacés candied chestnuts, online—prevents the sugar from crystallizing. Slightly sweet, green, fuzzy on the outside like a peach. (They have a pit, so watch out.) An English and Portuguese tradition, they're almost impossible to find in America. Makes an exquisite gift for someone who’s tried just about everything. P-UGA 9 sugarplums in wood crate $45 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

Red Pepper Truffles
Bonajuto has been making chocolate in the baroque Sicilian town of Modica since 1880. By that time Gustav Lindt had perfected conching, the process that makes chocolate smooth. Nearly every European chocolate maker adopted it. Bonajuto didn’t. They continued to make unconched chocolate, the texture crunchy in comparison. Nowadays that texture has come somewhat back in fashion. Here, you can experience it as it was and always has been. This gift box has bite sized truffles spiced with just a hint of red pepper, another typical addition to 19th century chocolate. An outstanding gift for a chocolate lover—or history buff.

A spicy sweet German tradition 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 pefect gift for anyone on your list. P-LEB 5 cookie tin, 1 lb $35 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE
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.
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. and tastes fresh, clean and lively. Comes wrapped in a muslin bag. P-KUY 1 lb fruit cake, six inches long, serves 8-10 $65

Dark Rare Citrus Fruitcake
A decade ago we tasted Robert Lambert’s White Fruit Cake and it forever changed our minds about how great fruitcake could be. Since then it’s been one of our most popular gifts. Now it’s time to double down. Dark fruitcake, so named for the color of the batter and its dusky flavor, follows the nature's rhythm, dark follows the light. Robert starts by candying exotic citrus fruits himself 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-yearold 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 small-batches with an obsessive attention to detail. The flavor is phenomenal. Keep cold, slice thin, serve chilled. Comes wrapped in a muslin bag. P-RLD

NEW CORPORATE GIFT! City Hams This fall, for the first time, we’re offering a small range of excellent cured and smoked hams. Unlike country hams (p. 21) that you can eat without cooking, these "city hams" are the kind that most of us (at least those from the North) are used to eating. The ones you put in the oven for a few hours, sometimes pinned with pineapple slices. Skip the pineapple here, these hams don’t need it. They are full of flavor already. Just heat, slice and eat. Select which ham you’d like based on its flavor profile. Each is raised in the Midwest by farmers under the direction of Heritage Foods, the folks who bring us our amazing porterhouse pork chops (p. 38). The pigs are not confined, have access to the outdoors to root and roam, and never receive antibiotics or hormones. Maple sugar cured for two weeks, smoked over hickory. Shipped frozen, may arrive still frozen and need a day to defrost.
