Zingerman's Top 10 Hits of 2013 by Zingerman's Mail Order

We can't tell you what the best films or music of 2013 were, we were too busy eating, but here are our picks for the finest food finds of 2013.

1 Banana Bread & Chocolate Banana Bread The breakout hit of the year. For whatever reason—the nostalgia, the packaging, the huge flavor—these twins are the stars of the season. Flour, cane sugar, real butter, fresh eggs, a touch of Madagascar vanilla and two freshly peeled bananas per loaf. Chocolate banana bread has the addition of huge chunks of chocolate. Wrapped in tissue, packed in a colorful gift box illustrated by the amazing Ian Nagy. G-BNA banana bread, gift boxed, serves 5-7 $20 G-BNC chocolate, gift boxed, serves 5-7 $20 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

the regal, rare ones

Tradizionali Balsamics from Modena These are the vinegars about which legends have been woven. Buy one for a grand occasion. A golden anniversary. A wedding. A newborn. An election. Tested by a panel of judges, the qualifiers in Modena are graded gold and white. Then they return to the wood for another five, ten, twenty, or a hundred years or more. During the aging process, the vinegar is shifted from one type of wood to the next. Cherry, chestnut, oak and mulberry all leave their imprint on the flavor of the vinegar. The result is an almost unbelievable concentration of sweet-sour flavor in a dense, intense, brown-black vinegar that hints of berries, grapes, vanilla. There is nothing like it in the world. Only a tiny amount is released each year, in elegant glass flasks. Let loose a few drops on ripe strawberries fresh from the market. An amazing treat you'll always remember. All traditional balsamics from Modena are bottled in Ferrari designer Giorgio Guigiaro's streamlined, sexy bottle, then gift boxed. They may all look the same, but the vinegar is not. We buy ours from Erika Barbieri, one of only a handful of female balsamic makers. I think her vinegars are consistently fantastic—and the juniper aged version is unique.

Martelli Fusilli This new shape has practically rocked the artisan pasta-making world to its foundation. Not because fusilli hasn’t been made before—it has. But never by the Martelli family. In fact, in their entire near hundred-year history they’ve only made four shapes: spaghetti, spaghettini, maccheroni and penne. It was one of the constants in life I could always count on. Every new year there would be a total of zero innovations at Martelli. Now 2013 comes along, and we found this in our mailbox: fusilli, the screwiest cork-popping shape in the pasta pantheon. I’m not sure what to think, except to say it’s delicious, made with the same bronze dies and careful drying that give all Martelli pastas their mouth-watering savor.

the king OF italian cheEse

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.

cheEse desSert 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 at higher-than-normal temperatures—a risky move, since it can create off flavors. When done well, though, the flavor is intense. It fills your mouth with butterscotch and caramel like candy. Think of it like cheese dessert. In fact, a single nib, taken with espresso after dinner, is a revelation. C-LAM ½ lb hand cut wedge $22 by the pound $40

Made by Marieke Penterman, a Dutch native who relocated to Thorp, Wisconsin to make Gouda. Her cheese rivals the Netherlands' best in depth of flavor, complexity and balance.

They have an irresistibly delicious balance of rich, dense, sweet and savory creaminess with little crunchy flavor crystals that are a sign of great flavor.

Cheese Passports You pick the country. We’ll head to our cheese cave and take care of the rest. 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 thick, lined foil paper 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.

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. 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.

Zingerman’s extra virgin olive oil 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, this oil is hugely flavorful.

funky cOUsin Wild Boar Salami

MOuntain meaT Speck from La Quercia

If there was an award for funny food names this would definitely be a finalist. Speck originates in the Alto Adige, the alpine region of the South Tirol in northern Italy (though this one is made in Iowa). This is mountain people’s meat, meant to fortify. It’s a lean piece of pork, cut from the rear leg, rubbed with sea salt and smoked over apple wood. Where prosciutto is delicate and subtle this is chewy and robust, earthy and rich, sweet and smoky. It may not be as well known as some cured meats you know but don’t let that stop you. Like all their meats, La Quercia’s speck is made from hogs raised naturally, without hormones or sub-therapeutic antibiotics. M-SPK 3 oz sliced $14

This is the lean, funky cousin to more traditional salami. Where most salamis are made from cuts of standard-breed white pigs, this one mixes in a healthy dose of wild Texas boar. The meat, influenced by the boar's outdoor diet of roots, grasses and wild berries, is both leaner and more intense. Some standard-breed pork belly is added for fat and texture. The salami is spiced with salt, cloves and juniper berries. This is one cured meat that doesn't lie down on the appetizer plate. It stands up and begs to be noticed. Pair it with cheeses that can match its intensity, like L'Etivaz or Bayley Hazen. It's also great with salted almonds or pistachios. M-WLD 7 oz $26 SHIPS FLAT RATE

the next best thing 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

snacker's salami

Borsellino Salami (illustrated) 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. M-DSG 6 oz regular $12 M-SDS 6 oz piccante $12 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

return of the king

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 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. It marbles the meat and wraps the chop in a soft, opaque band. When cooked it melts within the meat and softens its edge to a luscious, lip-smacking bite. This is melt-in-your mouth fat, the kind of succulent experience you expect in a great steaks. The pork comes from hogs that are raised impeccably; the pigs are not confined, have access to the outdoors, and never receive antibiotics or hormones. Chops ship frozen, though they may thaw and be cold, not hard, when they arrive. They come two to a pack.

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.

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.

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. P-SAR 125 g classic (illus) $7 2 or more $5.50 each P-SEV 110 g extra virgin $10 2 or more $8 each

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
