Holiday 2016
Central Europe's bakeries make some of the world's most delicious Christmas goodies and these are two of my favorites. Rather than import them we make them by hand here in Ann Arbor. Gift boxed and shipped straight to you.
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. With 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 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 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
Beigli
Beigli (bay-glee) is Hungary’s favorite Christmas sweet. It’s a yeasted dough rolled up with a sweet filling made of finely chopped walnuts. The outside crackles and shines. Inside, there's a familar swirl that will remind you of a cinnamon roll standing on its side. The buttery dough and rich honey walnut filling blend perfectly together, balancing its sweetness. The dough has a satisfying chew. Baked by hand at Zingerman's Bakehouse, it comes in a muslin gift bag nestled inside our fun, colorful cartoon gift box. Serves 6-8.

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 as beautiful as a present for the Pope. We’ve had great traditional Italian panettone every Christmas since our doors opened in 1982.
Traditional Panettone 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 cake, serves 10-12 $55 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE
Panettone Balsamico 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
Chocolate and Fig Panettone A classic panettone cake that hides luscious pockets of tender figs and bits of melt-in-your-mouth Italian chocolate. Wrapped and ribboned in typically gorgeous fashion, it makes a beautiful gift for a chocolate-and-fruit fan. P-CPN 750 g cake, serves 10-12 $65 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

Full disclosure: the price on these fruitcakes may cause sticker shock. While England's national holiday cake has become a cheap industrial laughing stock, these are another species altogether. Crafted by Robert Lambert in California 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 is a taste revelation.
White Rare Citrus Fruitcake
Dark 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. 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 in a muslin bag. P-KUY 1 lb, six inches long, serves 8-10 $70
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 Port, and candied ginger. Then, wait for it... he soaks it all in bourbon. Comes in a muslin bag.

Monthly 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-ophiles 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 ParmigianoReggiano and your Champagnes are great, but you can’t touch our bacon.

Honey Figs Pingo de mel figs—”honey drop”–are so named because they drip sugar when they’re ripe. Preserved in sugar by the same nuns who make our Sugarplums, at right. Hold one up to the light. First, notice it’s improbably heavy. Next, look how it glows from within. The texture is like a candied chestnut but not as chalky. The flavor opens up after you taste, the dominant note of caramelized honey goes on and on, lingering long after you swallow. I’ve never had anything like this. I’m pretty sure eating one made me high. P-HFG 9 figs in wood crate $40 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

The young balsamics are better for vinaigrettes; the older ones are killer drizzled on cheese or berries.

Toasted Pecan Pie
“Consider this Southern Gal completely converted to your amazing, incredible, delectable, delicious Toasted Pecan Pie. Worth. Every. Penny. Worth. Every. Calorie. As God is my witness, let no other pecan pie pass my lips again!” Krista, Lakeland, Florida

Pecan pie is the one of Southern cooking’s best diplomats. It’s hard to find folks who won’t dig into a slice placed in front of them. That said, there are good pecan pies and there are great ones. The better versions take the time and expense to tend the details. Like real butter in the crust, each pie rolled and pressed out by hand. And great brown sugar—ours is organic and natural, from Mauritius—for the filling. And of course pecans: toasted pecans. Toasted before they’re baked because the flavor amplifies by an order of magnitude when you crisp them up a bit. And loads of them. Our bakers stuff in so many pecans that there’s barely enough room to fit them in, let alone any of the caramelly brown-sugar custard. Zingerman’s pecan pie explodes with flavor, a warm balanced flavor that’s never too sweet, but is unparalleled, unforgettable.

Maussane Olive Oil
Alziari Olive Oil It's now been over two decades since I first fell in love with Alziari, the old shop in the historic center of Nice, on France’s Côte d’Azur. Their extra virgin olive oil is exceptional and typically Niçoise— light, flowery and elegant but still full of character and charisma. I could use the same phrase to describe the tin it comes in. It's such a beautiful package that it makes one of the best gifts from our catalog; it needs no wrapping. O-ALZ 1 liter tin $50 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE
This is a unique oil that’s got one of the most dedicated followings I’ve ever witnessed. We tracked it down years ago at the adamant insistence of Nancy Harmon Jenkins, one of the world’s most knowledgeable food folks, and it’s had a growing cadre of fans ever since. A rich, golden nectar with a distinctive herbal character no other oil can match, it sings with an unequaled pitch in its range of high and low flavor notes. One of its fans told me, “If you love olives, you’ll want to marry this oil.” O-MAU 500 ml $40 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE
my house oil Peranzana Olive Oil
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

angel'S share 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

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. 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 under the name La Vecchia Dispensa. 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 many believe 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

Balsamic is made from cooked grape juice, while wine vinegars are never cooked–and most cheap ones never see an aging barrel.
Agrodolce is super smooth, light on the tongue, subtle and very, very long in the finish. Technically it's not a balsamic, but 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.

New! Pecan Praline brand new banana bread
Classic, Chocolate and NEW: Pecan Praline
The diabolical pastry enablers at Zingerman’s Bakehouse have focused their dark magic on classic banana bread. Like our hugely popular sourcream 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). The classic banana bread has no nuts, with simple ingredients like 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. And new this fall, pecan praline banana bread is topped with a layer of caramel-coated toasted pecans sprinkled with a pinch of sea salt. Wrapped in tissue, each loaf comes packed in its own colorfully illustrated box. Serves 5-7.

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. Excellent with cream cheese and smoked salmon. B-ROA 1½ lb handmade loaf $9
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).

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

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.

When we make a sandwich with our rye, we warm it for 15 minutes at 375°F then slice it on an angle for bigger slices with crispy crust & a tender crumb.
Traditional Jewish rye bread is still an endangered American species. Twenty-four 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.

AMERICA'S BEST

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. We work closesly with Andy Hatch, the maker, to select specific days of cheese, tasting from a series of different days of production to pick the most flavorful of the bunch to bring to our cheese locker in Ann Arbor and hand cut for you.

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. We never use cryovac to seal the cheese—it can create off flavors. We wrap them with a special re-usable wax-lined bag we import from France that's like cashmere for cheese. It keeps them feeling great (and tasting great) and looking like a million bucks. Makes a great gift for any cheese lover you know, including you.

Pimento Cheese and Liptauer Cheese From Zingerman’s Creamery, two of our all-time favorite spreadable cheeses. First, pimento cheese, the southern American classic. Ours is a salty/tangy/spicy mix of raw milk Cabot Vermont Cheddar, Hellmann’s mayo, pimento peppers and spices. Second, liptauer (pronounced “lip-tower”), a Hungarian inspired mix of fresh Farm cheese spiked with garlic, Hungarian paprika, capers, toasted caraway and just a touch of anchovy. It’s moderately spicy and exceptionally flavorful. Both make excellent toppers for crackers, burgers, sandwiches, salamis, and just about anything else you can think of to spread ‘em on.

Bright, tart, with finishing notes of sweetness. That’s what the trio of pickled fruits from Boat Street Cafe bring to the table and why they’re the perfect pairing for any cheese you might serve. Creamy, gooey cheeses are brought into a harmonious balance when dancing with these pickled fruits.
CHEESE COMPANIONS
Walnut and violet mustard rarely miss when paired with cheese. The richness of their texture and the zip of their flavor give cheeses a new dimesion they don’t achieve on their own. To say it in RomCom terms, they complete each other.
The first time I drizzled honey over cheese was a Eureka moment in my culinary history. Whether dark and slightly bitter like chestnut honey or sweet and delicate like tupelo, the whole is greater than the sum of its parts when you merge bees and cheese.

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 fourth-generation 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.

National treasure Portuguese Sardines
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. This is perhaps the classic case of tinned food seen as poor, low-quality food. Before college students ate 75 cent ramen, they ate 10 cent sardines. Forget that stereotype. Here, four or five tender, perfect sardines, come nested in a tin of olive oil, and their flavor is extraordinary—the prize of Portugal, revered there as a kind of national seafood treasure. We offer pure olive oil (classic style, 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.

New American Salamis In the last decade the American salami scene has gone from practically nonexistent to bustling. Inspired in part by the rise of whole animal butchery, today there’s tons of new salami out there. Not all of it is great. Some is too spiced, or too dry. But the good ones are really, really good. Our salami stock features some of greatest salamis made in America today. They start with great pork. They add simple, pronounceable spices and ingredients. They hang the salamis to cure traditionally for weeks or months. The result is full-flavored salami that rivals the best cured meats from Europe. Serve at room temperature, sliced thick, for the most flavor.
Let your salami warm to room temperature. Cut it on the thicker side for maximum flavor.

The New Americans Cheese Box The New American Cheese 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, coast to coast. Cheesemongers who twenty years ago would struggle stock six or seven American cheeses now regularly stock three or four times that many—and they had to be careful editors to choose only that many. Folks, it’s a new golden age for American cheese, and we get to enjoy its benefits. Here are three delicious works from three the New American cheesemakers redefining our country’s cheese: Ooey gooey pine-wrapped Harbison from Jasper Hill in Vermont, extra-aged Pleasant Ridge Reserve from Uplands Cheese in Wisconsin and Bonne Bouche goat’s cheese from Vermont Creamery.

Our heritage breed porterhouse pork chops are cut an inch and a quarter thick, have the tenderloin attached like a T bone steak, and usually cause the table to hush when they arrive. They taste like pork did a century ago, when pigs were bred to thrive out of doors, to root and roam, to have a varied diet—which is what these do. Great on the grill, the also cook up fantastically on the stove top (I like to pan brown a chop then put it in the oven to finish). From pigs that never receive hormones or antibiotics.

Pedigree aside, after tasting meat from many farms, I can tell you not all of the 1% of sustainably raised meat tastes great.

I'm a big fan of the baked bacon style: cooking slices on a parchment-lined sheet pan in the oven.
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. I highly reccomend investing in three or four of them. 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.

Shocking. There’s no other way to describe the experience of first tasting acorn fed pork. In the oak forests of southern Spain, heritage Ibérico pigs spend their lives rooting around on pasture. In the fall when the ground is littered with acorns (bellotas in Spanish), they gobble them up. 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. Eating it is an exceptional experience, one of the pinnacles of meat eating.

We’ll hand cut and wrap three of our top selling cheeses the day they ship to you: Pleasant Ridge Reserve, Bayley Hazen Blue, and L’Amuse Gouda. We’ll also stash some spiced pecans and a loaf of Roadhouse Rye along with it. About a pound and a half of cheese, it’ll serve twelve for appetizers or afterdinner-or maybe a bit of both. Handpacked in our cartoon gift box. G-HOL gift box $100
You’re stranded on an 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. The picks are classic well-aged Italian Parmigiano-Reggiano, real clothwrapped 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, house them in fabulous French cheese bags and nestle them in a box with crackers. Now go find that island. G-N-DES 3 cheeses, crackers $80

In the last decade there’s been a renewed interest in old fashioned grass-fed beef. Not all of it is great in part because not every rancher bring their cattle to slaughter at the right time. Just like tomatoes have a season, so do grass fed cattle. Lush summer grass makes for great tasting beef. Winter grass makes for less flavorful—and less tender—beef. At BN Ranch in California and Carman Ranch in Oregon, the cattle spend their whole lives out on pasture eating grass, and they only produce beef when the grass is at its richest and the cattle are at their fattest. You really can taste the difference.
Dry-Aged Cowboy Cut Ribeye from Carman Ranch
Bone In Strip Steaks from Bill Niman’s BN Ranch
Bavette Steak from Carman Ranch
The cowboy cut has a couple inches of bone sticking out, giving you a handle to hold onto. The steaks are dry-aged for two weeks, creating huge flavor with a deep mineral tang. Bone in, 2 inches thick. M-RIB-2 2 steaks, 1½ lbs each $175 M-RIB-4 4 steaks, 1½ lbs each $320
These bone-in New York Strip steaks are some of the best I’ve ever tasted. They have incredible marbling, and that fat means huge flavor—the best way I can put it is that they taste steak-ier than most. Cut 1¼" thick. M-STK-2 2 steaks, 14-16 oz each $120 M-STK-4 4 steaks, 14-16 oz each $225

The bavette is a favorite among butchers for its huge flavor, but unknown to most of the rest of us—unless you're a lucky one who's enjoyed one over a glass of Cotes du Rhone at a bistro in Paris, where it's more common. It comes from next to the flank, so it’s great for grilling up rare like a flank steak or for tossing in a stirfry. Beefy, juicy, with slightly sweet flavor.

THE CUTS THE butchers kEEP Butcher’s Choice Meat Box
At the meat counter, most of us tend to go for the familiar cuts: the steaks, the chops, the tenderloins. But ask a butcher what their favorites are and it’s like you’re getting entry to a secret meat club. They go for the cuts most of us have never heard of, let alone cooked. It’s our loss—their picks tend to be the most flavorful cuts. We asked some of our rancher and butcher friends about their favorites, and we’ve pulled together a selection to make them proud. Grass-fed tri-tip steak, two grass-fed bavette steaks, heritage breed jowl bacon and a pound of grass-fed ground beef. Shipped frozen, along with a bit of information about each cut and how to prepare it. Over four pounds of fantastic meats. G-BCM butcher’s choice box $175 FREE SHIPPING

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.

unparaLleled Pie
Toasted Pecan Pie
Pecan pie is the one of Southern cooking’s best diplomats. It’s hard to find folks who won’t dig into a slice placed in front of them. That said, there are good pecan pies and there are great ones. The better versions take the time and expense to tend the details. Like real butter in the crust, each pie rolled and pressed out by hand. And great brown sugar—ours is organic and natural, from Mauritius—for the filling. And of course pecans: toasted pecans. Toasted before they’re baked because the flavor amplifies by an order of magnitude when you crisp them up a bit. And loads of them. Our bakers stuff in so many pecans that there’s barely enough room to fit them in, let alone any of the caramelly brown-sugar custard. Zingerman’s pecan pie explodes with flavor, a warm balanced flavor that’s never too sweet, but is unparalleled, unforgettable.

Holiday ancient trade 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.

Cunesi Rum Truffles
Barcelona’s beverage Spanish Drinking Chocolate A great gift for chocolate lovers who think they've had everything. 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.

A unique chocolate served with immense style. 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. From Venchi, our long-time supplier of Hazelnut and Chocolate Spread from Turin.

your new aDdiction Chocolate Covered Grissini Grissini are the thin bread sticks you see on every North Italian table before dinner. These, made by a bakery in the town of Asti, are crisp and crumbly and absolutely grand when served plain. But that's not what we're doing here. These are covered in semi-sweet chocolate. Each bread stick is more than eight inches long and, thanks to the sweet jacket, built for coveting. Imagine a really substantial, supremely delicious version of Japanese Pocky chocolate covered biscuit sticks. I found myself nibbling away like a chipmunk who’d hit the jackpot.
