snacker's salAmI Borsellino Salami

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. The plain is mild but substantial, without the heavy salting that you often find in other salamis. The piccante sausage reminds me a bit of Spanish chorizo—smoky and slightly spicy, but not at all hot. Serve either a cheese plate or toss chunks into pasta or salads. Throw one into your backpack the next time you head out for a hike. It 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.

Ibérico Bellota Pork Loin

$50

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.

Red Wattle Pork Chops

$40

Red Wattles are an old breed of pig that was raised for flavor, not fashion.

Today you might find Red Wattle in a few restaurants in New York and a couple other lucky cities. There was almost no supply for us home cooks— until now. These chops have the steak and loin attached, joining at the bone like a T Bone steak. Each 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. From hogs that are raised impeccably. The pigs are not confined, have access to the outdoors, and never receive antibiotics or hormones. Shipped frozen, two 2 a pack.

cheEsemOnger's choice Comté from Fort St. Antoine

SAVE $19

Selected just for us by Essex Street Cheese Co. from the renowned cheese caves of France's legendary Jura affineur, Maison Marcel Petite, these cheeses are aged inside the 19th-century Fort St. Antoine. These are mostly summer cheeses, those made only when the cows are out to pasture in flowering hills. Fudgy texture, well balanced, never bitey flavor, our Comté has a buttery, hazelnut taste that grows on the tongue. It finishes with a wave of cream that slowly expands to fill your entire mouth. A comic's comic, a writer's writer, this is a cheesemonger's cheese. I could eat it every day.

Figs are naughty to begin with.

When they're ripe they're as soft as warm flesh, they feel like bursting and, from time to time, a tiny drop of nectar drips without bidding. The folks who make these figs start there, with tender, sweeter than usual, parito figs. They're sun dried to concentrate their flavor, emptied of their contents which is then mixed with soft chocolate truffle cream and a hint of liqueur and reinserted into the cavity. Finally they're dipped in dark chocolate and individually packaged.

boOsted brioche Craquelin Bread

Step aside my six favorite Belgians—mussels, french fries, beer, waffles, chocolate and Poirot— Antwerp has given us something else to get excited about. Craquelin is the national bread of Belgium. It’s a buttery brioche rolled up with fresh orange zest and sugar cubes soaked in Grand Marnier®. The additions form a sweet swirl inside each slice like a cinnamon roll and their dark orange flavors seep into the surrounding dough. If it sounds like it’s great for breakfast you’re right, it is. Some of our crew even call it “coffeecake bread” which gets to the spirit of the loaf, though its texture is much lighter.

slavic staple

Lutenitsa Red Pepper Spread From Prague to Pleven and pretty all spots in between you’ll find an open jar of pepper spread in every refrigerator—and a backup in every pantry. It’s a condiment, it’s a dip, it’s an ingredient, it’s incredibly versatile. While Slavic cooking is a far way from catching fire in America that shouldn’t stop any pepper-lover or new-food-finder from grabbing a jar. Lutenitsa’s primary flavor note—roasted red pepper—envelops the spread, rather like a Spanish piquillo pepper, sweet and smoky, with a similar pleasant metallic bite and not a hint of heat. Coarsely ground with eggplant and tomato it’s a superlative sandwich spread or burger topping.

Kozlik’s Maple Mustard

Tarentaise from Vermont We focus a lot of our cheese collection on mountain dairies of Switzerland, Northern Italy, and France where big wagon wheels of extra-aged cheese are common. America has never really had a mountain cheese tradition and the new cheese movement that’s grown in the last two decades is often known for its small, soft, local cheeses. Not so with Spring Brook Farm. Their Tarentaise, made in Reading, Vermont from raw Jersey cow’s milk, has much in common with the classic mountain cheeses like Gruyère and Comté. It's a semi-hard, brine-washed cheese that’s aged for about a year. Its mouthfeel is creamy in spite of it being a hard cheese. The mountain cheese flavors of hazelnut and fruit are there too.

In fact it holds its own against Europe’s Alpine heavyweights and can be used in similar ways: melting over vegetables, in omelets, or straight up with a few other top flight choices on a cheese board.

Kozlik isn’t the world’s oldest mustard maker, but they have been at it since 1948 which counts as a lot of experience in my book. While the Kozlik name is well known in Canada, most of us in the states have never heard of them. This jar would be a fine beginning to what promises to be a lovely relationship.

Yellow mustard seeds are ground fine and mixed with a bit of water, vinegar and Canadian maple syrup to create a sweet mustard that goes great on ham, as a glaze, as part of a marinade, or, as we all arrive at eventually, on a sandwich.

Zingerman’s Buttercream Cakes The pastry magicians at Zingerman’s Bakehouse love baking cakes above all else. Wedding cakes, birthday cakes, coffee cakes, everyday cakes—whenever there are cakes to bake you can bet they’ll be excited and what comes out of the oven will be incredibly tasty. The fondant cakes are the showstoppers, with their intricate decorations (see our birthday cake, p. 38). Coffee cakes are our everyday best sellers (p. 48). But here in Ann Arbor, special occasions are marked most often by buttercream cakes. They're something our mail order customers probably don't know about because we’ve never shipped one—until now. This marks the first time these local heroes make the trip out of state. Why the wait? They are delicate, and it took us a couple of years of practice to engineer the packaging so they could travel by UPS. Now they can, and your next celebration is going to be all the better for it.

The showpiece on each cake is traditional buttercream frosting. Swiss style, it's made by whipping fresh eggs and sugar into a meringue, then mixing in real Wisconsin butter and Madagascar vanilla. Our cakes are also marked by what they don't contain: no artificial anything, no mixes, no shortening. These are the ingredients your grandmother would use when she baked.

Each cake is six inches in diameter, four inches high, about 1 ¾ lbs and serves 6-8. Ships frozen. Defrost and serve at room temperature for maximum flavor and attractiveness.

kissing vinegar Rozendal Fynbos Vinegar

Pretty much everything what’s behind the Rozendal label is exceptional. Long a grape grower and wine producer, Kurt Amman took the family farm in Stellenbosch on the southwest coast of South Africa organic in 1994, then biodynamic in 2001. From the method of conversion from wine to the decision not to pasteurize (to protect the positive acetobacters) to the many years of patient maturation to the careful selection of herbs and flowers for the infusion into the vinegar—flavor, spirit, and environment are all honored in the Amman’s work.

Fynbos vinegar starts with natural conversion of the Amman’s own, already well made, and nicely matured wines.

The natural conversion takes months and protects the flavors of the wine and also the natural health benefits of the vinegar.

The herbs are then added to the vinegar and the infusions are allowed to mature another four or five years. Fynbos is infused with an array of the region’s herbs and flower—South African honeybush, buchu, wild olive, wild rosemary, and rose geranium.

The total maturation is about 12 years, all done in oak barrels.

The results are superb! Imagine maybe a great balsamic: the complexity, the soft, round, sweetness, the long lingering finish, all are there in force. Then there's big, slightly tingly, subtly sweet, fantastic flavors with great complexity and a very, very long, very lovely, finish. It's so good that you can—and I have a number of times—sip it straight from the bottle. Like sipping a super long aged bourbon, there’s a loveliness, a long lingering sweetness, vanilla undertones from the oak, a succulence and smoothness that’s hard to explain. I’m starting to think it should be called “kissing vinegars”—not to make anyone blush, but, truly, kissing anyone who just sipped it would be a pretty sensual (sorry if I’m getting anyone blushing) experience.

My exception Manchester Cheese

I must confess that I love cheese, and one of my long-time favorites is Manchester from Zingerman’s Creamery. Normally I will not even look at a cheese made from pasteurized milk, but this one is a rare exception—it is that good. It beautifully showcases the seasonal nature and flavors of the local milk used to make it. The cheese is soft and lusciously creamy with a mild tang when young, and gets denser and more flavorful as it ages, with a soft, almost runny rind that is delectable. Manchester is amazingly versatile and tastes great with Violet Mustard (online) whose crunchy texture and sweet and spicy flavors balance the softness and richness of the cheese (we call this perfect pairing The Purple Russian). I use it to add richness to a roasted turkey sandwich on grilled farm bread, with perhaps an avocado spread or roasted piquillo peppers. I also enjoy it as a sweet ending with toasted pecan raisin bread and apricot jam. Once in a while I brûlée it with some sugar and top with macerated blueberries.

i always circle back Espresso Blend No. 1 Coffee

The first thing I've done every morning for the last twenty years is turn on the espresso machine. I enjoy savoring the rich, silky body that only espresso has offer. The tiny mesh of aromatic bubbles—the crema—coats my tongue releasing aromatic compounds as they burst. An espresso should have a balance of sweet and bitter and should be a pleasure to drink by itself. It should be complex, smooth and superbly balanced. To achieve this, the type of coffee beans have to be chosen and roasted to bring out these characteristics. Making an espresso will amplify whatever is going on with the beans. If the beans are super bright and lively they will probably make an unpleasantly acidic espresso.

Zingerman’s Espresso Blend #1 is crafted to accentuate sweetness and body with refined notes of nuts (think hazelnut or roasted Spanish peanuts). A two ounce “double shot” can be slowly sipped, lasting as long and be as satisfying as a bigger cup of filter brewed. It is also my go-to coffee when I feel like making a pot of filter brewed coffee. As a drip, I love the sweetness and the smoothness. If I’m going to drink most of a pot on a weekend morning, this is what I want. I do love lots of other coffees for lots of reasons don’t get me wrong.

If I didn't I wouldn't have started a coffee business. But this is my true love, I always circle back to it.

eight centuries and counting Tiburtini Olive Oil

We sell about three dozen different olive oils—so how does one go about picking a favorite? For me, the choice was made almost as soon as I met Emanuele Lolli, the man who makes Tiburtini olive oil.

In the foothills to the east of Rome, the Lolli family has been tending their groves of olive trees for the past three centuries. They grow more than 15 varieties of olives, and some of the trees are seven or eight hundred years old—two factors that help to create a bold, complex olive oil. Emanuele does all the little things right: the olives are picked by hand, and pressed into oil within 24 hours. But what really sold me on his oil was the incredible lunch that his wife, Rita, prepared for the three of us when I visited their home in Tivoli, Italy last spring. Tiburtini olive oil was featured everywhere: in the well-dressed salad; over a plate of mozzarella and tomato; in a spaghetti dish with garlic and wild asparagus. The flavor of the oil is assertive but smooth, a little grassy, with a warming peppery kick in the finish. It pairs well with just about everything I want to use it for, whether in salads, over meats, atop soups, or—my very favorite— poured generously over paesano bread (p. 28) with a sprinkle of sea salt.

French Mountain Bread

Hands down, this is my favorite bread and probably my favorite food period. It is my desert island food for sure. I love it for just eating, salami sandwiches, grilled cheese and breakfast toast with tons of butter and preserves. This bread is so good with a fried egg on it. The big loaf holds well on the counter all week till you can get another one. How could you not like a loaf designed to sit around and get better? I’m amazed that we sell it for less when it's “day old” at the deli—we should charge more for it after a day! It has been the only bread in my stuffing for the last decade during Thanksgiving where it blends well to the sausage, celery and sage.

america's first rice

We asked ten of our partners and crew.

Here are their answers.

Mo Frechette Food finder and founder of Zingerman’s Mail Order

Really Wild Wild Rice It’s hard for me not to fall for a story, especially when it’s true. This wild rice–not at all like the wild rice you’ll see in most shops–is one of America’s oldest foods. It was definitely on Native Americans’ diets four hundred years ago, which meant it was probably an early settlers' food, too. The plants were part of the Great Plains ecosystem, a thousand mile stretch of grasses whose biodiversity was as great as the Amazon.

Today, the rice harvest still happens in ways a person from four centuries ago would have recognized. The grasses are gathered by hand in canoes, threshed by simple machines and parched over open fires. To cook some I sweat half a sliced onion in a pan, add the rice and warm it, stirring it into the onion and oil, then pour in chicken broth and cook it for half an hour with the lid open till the grains crack and split and fray. The flavor is absolutely stunning. It’s mild but extremely complex, with woody, green and grassy flavors mixed in with nutty, yeasty, earthy notes. Never overpowering, it’s the kind of flavor kids love too.

Rustichella Pasta

Amy Emberling For much of my life pasta dishes were on my personal Partner and pastry “meh” list. If they were loaded up with enough other tasty ingredients (and made by someone else) I’d eat mastermind at them without major kvetching. But they were never on Zingerman’s Bakehouse my top 10 list of dishes to cook myself and I reluctantly ordered them in restaurants. Rustichella pasta made me a believer. I’m not sure what inspired me to even consider them. I admit that I was pretty skeptical and was so down on pasta that all I usually heard when people explained why they were better was blah, blah, blah. I didn’t need another tasteless carbohydrate in my life. Wow, are they better than most! This pasta is truly like a different food. It has flavor, really good flavor, and I love the chewy texture. For me they transform the simplest of pasta dishes into full flavored “cravable” foods and add an entire new level of flavor and textures for the more complicated ones. I regularly buy Rustichella pastas for myself and as gifts. They’re great for the experienced cooks in your life and for the practically uninitiated ones. Everyone will be able to taste the difference and use them easily.

the crown of the king Comté Cheese

Last year I travelled to Marcel Petite’s Fort St. Antoine in Jougne, France where they age Comté cheese. This was a dream come true for me. Everyone acknowledges that the French make great cheese and Comté is king in France. Comté from Fort St. Antoine is the crown of the king and a trip there is like a cheesemonger's haj. The Fort is special because it’s an ideal environment for very slow maturing of the wheels. Inside, the cheese can develop and express its individual flavors. Plus, it’s cool because it's really a fort! It was built into the side of a hill in the 1700’s and abandoned after it failed at its job stopping Germans in World War II. Before I ever visited the Fort or even knew of it, I was already a Comté convert. I love this cheese because I think it’s just about perfect. It’s a wonderful balance of flavors that include hazelnut, brothy french onion soup and butter. It has the most delicate hint of sweetness and a super long finish. Perfecto!

my big find

Brad Hedeman Food finder and scribe for Zingerman’s Mail Order

Maffé Sauce

You may not know this but I am the Leif Erikson of trends, a cultural trailblazer of food, fashion and fads. Humility prevents me from listing all the gifts I’ve discovered, but a partial list of my discoveries includes wearing Oxford shirts around the waist; saying "redic" instead of "ridiculous"; small batch bourbon. This year my great find was Maffé sauce. A regional sauce of West Africa, maffé goes by a multitude of different names depending on where you’re from and is enjoyed weekly by millions. Now it’s the darling of the culinary world, but it was me that gave Maffé its big break and made it the star it is today. At least that’s how I remember it and I'm sticking with my story. Regardless, when I “discover” a new flavor from a new producer, I want to share it. More than that, I want everyone to eat it. I’ve told everyone I know in the food world about maffé.

Also people I meet on the street, in cabs and this is about the tenth time I've written about it in our catalog so if you have read about it and haven't tried it yet, it's high time so hop to it. It’s delicious and I want Jainaba Jeng, the woman who makes it, to quit her “real job” and create more great flavors we can spread around the country.

It’s a dream, but a very tasty one and worth sharing.

rethink mustard Walnut Mustard

This mustard stands on it's own; not just as a mustard, but as a condiment, too. It combines the richness of walnut butter with the creamy texture and tang of a dijon mustard. My favorite sandwich is a grilled cheese of Cabot Clothbound Cheddar (on sale, p. 7) with a shake of pimentón smoked paprika (p. 41), a smear of aioli, and a generous dollop of walnut mustard on Bakehouse Sesame Semolina. It's also perfect with grilled veggies, especially asparagus or sweet potatoes. And it's just as great as a sauce or marinade with roasted and smoked meats.

This little jar will make you rethink mustard.

From Zingerman’s Bakehouse, four of our amazing, traditional Jewish baked goods.

Never any preservatives, never any fillers, never anything other than what you'd find in your home kitchen. Real eggs, real vanilla, real butter, real everything. Don’t miss them. Not Kosher.

Hamentaschen

Rugelach

Vanilla Bean Cream Cheese, Poppyseed & Apricot

Walnut & Currant, Apricot, Chocolate & Raspberry

Hamentaschen are the triangle-shaped, open-faced cookie dough pastries usually eaten during the Jewish celebration of Purim. The rest of the year they usually disappear. It’s clear Purim is much too brief a holiday to get your fill so we’re making the move to bake them all year long. We load the simple real-butter dough with an assortment of traditional fillings: vanilla bean cream cheese, poppyseed and apricot. You can skip the tradition and eat them when you’d like: Mardi Gras, St. Patrick’s Day, whenever.

P-HAM 12 piece gift box $30

Rugelach are the royalty of Jewish baked goods: crispy, flaky, cream cheese pastry, dressed in cinnamon sugar.

Shaped in little open-sided rolls you take a couple bites, a shower of sugar and cinnamon fills your fingers and you're done. Then you reach for another. We offer two gifts boxes. One with half classic toasted walnut with currants and apricot and a new gift box, half chocolate, half raspberry.

Traditionally they're for Passover, but I'm on a mission to have us eating macaroons all year long. Why hold back when they're this good? 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.

Toasted Almond

Toasted almonds get the spotlight here. There’s a ton of them. 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 along with a dose of real vanilla.

Mandelbread are Jewish style biscotti, but I think they're almost closer to shortbread. Crunchy, crispy and very dunkable in coffee or milk.

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. These benefit from a short trip to the oven for heating, instructions included.

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).

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. Each serves 5-7.

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. 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, nested in a tin of olive oil. We offer standard (illustrated—our regular great sardine in a new box) 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 these will come off as softer, rounder.

I understand that the name may put you off.

Eels just don’t sound appetizing. But they are and they’re more luxurious than you could 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.

Berberechos

Galician cockles—berberechos, in Spanish—are tiny, coveted clams, hand shucked and tinned in simple brine.

The amount of handwork to get this done is extraordinary, and the care is evident as soon as you open the tin.

The placement of each clam, the wonderful sweet sea aroma and the flavor and texture—ocean sweet, meaty, tender and succulent—are clearly a labor of love.

This is the kind of tinned seafood that you find almost nowhere besides Spain where it's considered a delicacy.

It may take some time to wrap your head around that idea, or wrap your wallet around the price, but if you know someone who loves special fishes, this is definitely worth splurging on. Just open the tin and serve, like it's done at the best Barcelona tapas bars. No shells.

the crown jewel Ortiz Bonito Tuna from Spain

Tuna is one of the most popular foods we sell. It may seem surprising because here in the U.S., tinned tuna is a low-end commodity usually sold in supermarkets. In Spain it’s at the complete opposite of the culinary spectrum. Tuna in tins, especially these from the fourth-generation family firm Ortiz, is one of the jewels in Spain's culinary crown. Ortiz's fish are all line caught—not netted—hand filleted at sea and quickly tinned in good olive oil. The olive oil is key. It adds flavor and makes the texture silky over time, unlike water, which tends to leach flavors from the fish. Kosher.

Red Boat Fish Sauce is from Vietnam and while it’s slightly less salty (though it’s still got plenty of salty kick) it has a deeper, richer flavor that reminds me of good soy sauce or savory fish broth.

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.

While balsamic has garnered the publicity, specially aged sherry vinegar sits aging in oak barrels in southern Spain quietly doing its thing. Sanchez Romate blends different ages of sherry vinegar (from three to fifty years old) to create a sweet, soft flavor. It became a staple in my home long ago. Add a few drops to creamy tomato soup. Drizzle a bit in a cold summer gazpacho. Drop a dash on a salad of ripe, sweet, summer tomatoes. Mix it into a classic cocktail sauce and stand back for the fireworks. It makes good food extraordinary.

Il Mongetto Italian Tomato Sauces For years Il Mongetto has been the top contender for my favorite bottled pasta sauces. They have a clean, fresh flavor that I love. Conjured up by the serenely insightful Santopietro family in the shadows of the Italian Alps, these sauces are filled with tomatoes, shallots, celery, carrots and olive oil from Umbrian maker Alfredo Mancianti. They feature complex, compelling flavors that other sauces only aspire to. Pasta with Il Mongetto sauce is the best fast food I know.

old style FAst foOd Sundried Garlic Spread

It takes a long time and lots of care to make this spread, but its effect in the kitchen is instantaneous. It all begins on the Mahjoub estate in the Medjerda Valley, outside of Tunis, Tunisia. There, the organic garlic is grown and harvested. Each clove of garlic is released from its bulb and spread in the hot desert sun to dry. Sun drying, the oldest and most enviromentally friendly way of preserving food, concentrates the flavors of the garlic, bringing out the sweetness beneath the surface. Open the jar, take a draw and start imagining all the dishes it'll improve. The flavor is deep and savory but not overpowering, like a fresh clove might be. Blended with the Mahjoubs' own organic olive oil and not much else it makes a spread capable of catapulting your cuisine to the next level. Drop a dollop atop grilled meat, or mix a bit with olive oil and vinegar for salad dressing. Slice up a baguette, lather on a bit of spread, top with fresh tomatoes from the market and voila—instant hors d'oeuvre! Organic.

King ofMoles

This could be the Holy Grail of secret ingredients. Rangpur limes look more like mandarins than the little green citrus fruit we know, but their flavor is like a smoky lime. This syrup pours easily—like honey—and doesn’t leave sugar crystals as it dissolves in iced or hot drinks, making it excellent for cocktails. It’s become a stealth ingredient in my mojitos and margaritas. A Rangpur lime syrup gin and tonic, anyone? Not into gin? Add it to yogurt. Drizzle over grilled fish. Drop a splash in a vinaigrette. I could keep going.

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.

farm bread

Imagine sitting around a French farmhouse table waiting for dinner. This would be the bread the family would serve. Like French pain au levain, it's a white-wheat mix made with a sour starter. Its crust is crisp, its flavor subtle and never tiring. The 1.5 pound loaf is pictured, but the 3 pound round is my favorite. Cut into quarters and freeze what you don’t eat.

french mouNtain 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.

Our most popular bread. Spreading out like the cap of a wild mushroom, its thin, snow white crust surrounds a soft, savory crumb filled with lots of holes (we work hard to put the holes in). This is the traditional bread of Puglia—the heel of Italy’s boot—and the best one to eat alongside a pasta dinner. Recommended for ripping and dipping in olive oil.

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 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.

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.

jewish breadS, RYe & Beyond

Traditional Jewish rye bread is still an endangered American species. Eighteen 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.

Zingerman’s Big Box of Deli Meat When I’m away from Ann Arbor for more than a few days I start to miss Zingerman’s food. Coffee and bread first, then more subtle longings surface. Like cured and cooked meats. This is a collection of my favorites from our deli case. Just set out some cheese, vegetables, bread and some sliced meats for a satisfying feast. Our Zingerman's shopping bag includes a pound each of Pastrami, our Classic Black Angus Lean Corned Beef, Broadbent Breakfast Sausage, Usinger’s Smoked Liverwurst, Nueske's Applewood Smoked Bacon, plus La Quercia's Iowa White Cured Pork Spread and Borsellino Salami. Over six pounds of cured cow and hog, rounded out with a loaf of Bacon Peppered Farm Bread. Requires a strong will not to overdo it. In case of excess, we’ll throw in some Alka Seltzer®. Everything freezes splendidly.

Black Pudding

White Pudding

Aside from color, cow’s blood adds an earthy, slightly metallic flavor to this typically Irish treat. Made with pig’s back fat and trimmings, breadcrumbs, onions and spices ground till the texture is smooth (though not as smooth as white pudding). The flavor is meaty, slightly salty, with just a little heat in the end.

M-BLP 12 oz $14

A more complex eating experience than your everyday breakfast sausage. Made with pork, oatmeal, breadcrumbs, onions and spices, the biggest thing that sets this pudding apart is its texture.

Instead of coarse parts of meat and fat, white pudding is velvety smooth. Slightly nutty, a little porky with a jab of black pepper in the finish, the flavor lingers until your next bite.

the next old thing Sully’s Date Jam

There’s no shortage of new jam makers in America. I probably taste more preserves than any other category of food—a dozen or more in any given month. Most are new and quite good. I thought I’d tasted every jam that existed in America and then I got this surprise. The Tarshish family has been making date jam at their bakery in Golden Valley, Minnesota for nearly fifty years. The recipe is simple: dates, cane sugar, lemon juice and just a touch of citric acid, but the finished spread is anything but ho-hum. It’s a haunting balancing act, facing the dates’ cedar earth sweetness against the tart tang of lemon juice. It’s excellent, and among the hundreds of preserves I’ve tasted in the last couple years it really stands out. Date jam pairs extremely well with a wide range of foods, but it’s especially good with fresh cheeses or over grilled meats.

One of the most versatile products in your pantry and a great gift for anyone looking for the next (old) thing. Half the size of most jams.

a mOdern love stOry

like a garden in bloOm

It’s the food world fairy tale we all wish we lived. Two people from opposite sides of the world fall in love and start a chocolate company. Sasha was born in India. Trent was born in Conneticut. They met working in the world of high finance and discovered they both loved chocolate more than money. They quit their robber baron lifestyle to blend sugar, fair trade chocolate and sustainable ingredients. Instead of crafting serious high cacao content single varietal bars like most chocolate makers do, they focused on fun, easy-to-enjoy spreads. And they've done a really good job at it. Made from ground almonds, dried coconut and of course chocolate, this take-no-prisoners spread is a luscious, nutty concoction that can bring a sweets lover to their knees. Spoon over sliced apples, make a sandwich with sliced bananas, dip strawberries into it, spread it on toast, ice cream, your finger, anything.

Whoever gave the Snowberry bush its name was a poet, albeit one that courts danger—the berries are poisonous.

Luckily bees make honey from the nectar in the flowers, not the fruit, so we’re safe. The tiny pink flowers that cover a snowberry bush last only for a short time in the spring. The brief flowering season must concentrate the flowers’ aroma because opening a jar of snowberry honey is like walking into a summer garden in full bloom. This is unlike any honey we have on our shelves. The flavor, after the scent subsides, is buttery, toasty with subtle hints of spice that give way to rich, big butterscotch flavors. The honey is pale yellow and runs thick as syrup.

The best keTtle fOr pour-OveR drip cOFfeemakinG Hario V60 Hot Water Kettle

If you’re a coffee fan—or a design nerd—you’ve dreamed of a kettle like this.

First, let me tell you what it doesn’t do. It doesn’t make a cute whistle when the water boils. It doesn’t boil water any faster. It doesn’t come in an array of colors. (There’s just one finish: lightly brushed nickel steel.) So why have you been dreaming about it? Because of its pour spout. Thanks to its gooseneck shape and thin diameter, you can pour hot water as slowly as you’d like. The steam will never drift up to burn your hand, and water will never drip back down the spout. Slow, precise water flow is key for making pour-over coffee at home. Coffee extracts differently depending how hot water hits it. The more control you have over your water, the more even the distribution over the coffee grounds and the better flavor you enjoy. This is the kettle Zingerman’s baristas use at work and at home. Even if you’re not making pour-over coffee, it’s still the most practical—and, for me, attractive—kettle you’ll find.

Using our easy, foolproof instructions, they'll have a cup of the best coffee they've ever had as quickly as using a home machine. They might keep the automatic coffeemaker around for those times they makes a big batch for friends. They'll keep the manual drip for when they want a brew that tastes spectacular.

some easter magic Stuffed Easter Egg

A magic trick moonlighting as an Easter sweet. It started its life as a perfectly proper egg. Then the insides were removed, deployed for dinner, the shell rinsed. Next it was filled with two ounces of Venchi’s supremely luxurious hazelnut and chocolate gianduja, the most popular sweet of Italy’s Piedmont (we're touring there next fall, see p. 41). The shell was decorated and remains perfectly intact.

It cracks and peels just like a hard boiled egg, albeit an egg laid from a chocolate chicken. Dispense them into Easter baskets if you must, but make sure to hoard a couple for the Easter Bunny.

from a most delicious chicken Bacon Chocolate Easter Eggs

My toddler asked me where bacon chocolate eggs came from.

I confessed I didn’t know, but I bet it’s the most delicious animal that ever lived. In truth, these chocolate-y, bacon-y eggs come from Vosges Haut-Chocolat in Chicago. Pieces of hickory smoked bacon are folded into soft, buttery caramel then covered in dark chocolate and formed into the shape of (half) Easter eggs. The salty/sweet combination is for more mature tastes (at least that’s what I told my toddler) so don’t feel bad about snatching them up and hoarding them for the adults.
