Zingerman's 2019 Valentine's Day Catalog for Food Lovers

Valentine’s Day 2019

made for each other Cheese & Chocolate Gift Box

Peanut butter and jelly. Ice cream and hot fudge. Cheese and chocolate. Some combinations were just made for each other. After tasting dozens of chocolates and cheeses together (tough job, I know), here are our picks for pairings to leave you weak in the knees. Our fun, colorful box includes a box each of Chocolate Covered Clementines and Chocolate Dipped Figs, Askinosie’s Dark Milk Chocolate Bar with Fleur de Sel, Zingerman’s Creamery’s Manchester cheese, and a half-pound of L’Amuse Gouda.

Dreamy, Creamy Cheeses oOey, gOoey Harbison Cheese from Vermont Harbison is a soft-ripened cheese from the acclaimed cheese makers at Jasper Hill in Vermont. It’s a small wheel made from pasteurized cow’s milk, wrapped in the inner bark of spruce trees. The bark holds the cheese together as it ages and imparts a woody, slightly piney flavor to the cheese inside. As it ages, the cheese goes from being light and firm to ooey, gooey, and spoonable. Let it come to room temperature, cut off the top, scoop it out onto something warm and crusty, then sit back and let your eyes roll into the back of your head. It’s that kind of an eating experience—and one that’s better still when shared with someone you love.

Trillium Cheese from Indiana

Tulip Tree Creamery, located in the heart of the midwest, is making an elegant little cheese named Trillium. For those of you who don’t count botany as a hobby, a trillium is a three petaled flower that blooms above three green leaves. Just like the flower’s petals, this cheese stands out among many other lovely triple creams. All the milk for these little gems comes from a nearby farm. The owners, Laura and Fons, work closely with the dairy farmer to ensure the quality and consistency of their cheese. The result is a heavenly little triple cream your friends and family will gush over. The texture is silky and luscious. The flavor is buttery soft, ultra rich and gently sweet.

Baby, You’re The One Chocolate Box

From the chocolate wizards at Chocolat Moderne, this is a far cry from your ordinary box of chocolates. A dozen heart shaped truffles come nestled in a white box tied with a silky red ribbon: white chocolate hearts filled with luscious passion fruit cardamom caramel, dark chocolate hearts filled with decadent raspberry chocolate ganache, and milk chocolate hearts filled with woozy sea salted caramel.

And right in the middle but standing out from the crowd—just like your love—is one single ruby red heart filled with Hudson Baby Bourbon. As toe-curlingly delicious to eat as they are gorgeous to look at.

forbidDen fruit Chocolate Dipped Figs

Tender, sweeter-than-usual Parito figs are dried, filled with soft chocolate truffle cream and a hint of liqueur, then dipped in dark or white chocolate. Each piece is individually wrapped.

They’re as good as they sound, perhaps better, and beat your mall-bought chocolates any day. Any chocolate lover—which, let’s face it, means 85% of humanity—will go gaga.

A Half Dozen Ingredients We Use That Make for Better Baked Goods 1. BETTER BUTTER

3. REAL VANILLA

You can’t tell just from looking at a cookie or a piece of cake whether it’s been baked with butter or shortening. The bottom line on baked goods’ flavor is that butter tastes better.

It’s also about ten times more costly, so many bakeries make the choice to use less expensive shortenings or margarine. You can taste and smell the difference—pull apart a Bakehouse cinnamon roll and stick it right up to your nose.

The sweet, rich scent of butter is right up front, followed by the soft smell of the cinnamon.

Shortening, on the other hand, has no aroma to speak of. Good pastry should smell good. The Bakehouse doesn’t just use any butter. Many of our baked goods start with sweet butter from Grassland. It tastes better, has less water, and more flavor.

Real vanilla is the first thing that big bakeries eliminate.

You can use industrial, imitation vanilla for about a twentieth of the cost of the real thing. And, by proportion, you use so little vanilla in a batch of baked goods, it’s easy to delude yourself into thinking that no one will notice. But… you can clearly taste the difference. Real vanilla is literally almost 150 times as complex in flavor as artificial vanillin.

Take away anything else, but please, please don’t take away my vanilla—it adds incredible aroma and flavor to anything it’s used in.

4. ORGANIC UNBLEACHED & UNBROMATED FLOURS The better the flour, the better the baked goods. We use organic all purpose flour for practically all of our breads and baked goods.

5. FRESH EGGS The norm nowadays for commercial bakeries is to use frozen eggs that come in white plastic buckets. We stubbornly stick to old-fashioned eggs in the traditional oval-shaped white shell, the way they made ’em “back in the old days.”

2. BELGIAN CHOCOLATE There’s chocolate. And then there’s Belgian chocolate. Our chocolate chunk cookies are loaded with big bites of great chocolate, including Callebaut Belgian chocolate. Higher in cocoa content, Callebaut is chocolatier, richer, more delicious than the inexpensive, mass-produced chocolates you’ll find in most baked goods.

Custom Pastries Choose your own assortment of six to thirty pastries. Pick from chocolatey brownies, classic cookies, creamy scones, and other luscious treats from the list below. Then pick your packaging: a colorful cartoon gift box or a classy wooden crate.

From $36, see full list of options online SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

6. TOASTED PECANS, ALMONDS, AND WALNUTS Toasting takes time and time is money. But it also adds a lot of flavor to nuts. So we do it. Toasting brings depth to Sour Cream Coffee Cake, brownies, cookies, and everything else we make with nuts in it.

minty spicy evergreen honey

The honey made famous by Van Morrison’s song, and in the film Ulee’s Gold starring Peter Fonda, is made exclusively in north Florida, along the swampy Apalachicola River basin. There, bees feed on the pale green flowers of the shrubby Ogeechee tupelo tree. The honey is clear, its color deep gold, its texture silky smooth and pourable.

The aroma is of flowers and caramel. The flavor is deceptively light at first—a hint of green apple—but grows to a crescendo of warmth at the back of the throat.

P-ULE 9 oz jar $23

Bees scour the delicate lavender blossoms on the hillsides of Provence to produce this perfectly perfumed, richly flavored honey. So good you’ll want to eat it by the spoonful. The honey is opaque, the color of custard cream. It’s mesmerizing. It seems to glow from within and pours like melted butter or spun sugar. Pop off the top, and you’ll be hit by the perfume. Each whiff is like the start of another good year in Provence.

P-LAV 17.6 oz jar $39

Ulmo is thick to the point of being unpourable, spreadable yet crystalline.

It sports an aroma like a bouquet of violets—hard to place and fleeting. The flavor is minty and spicy, without a hint of bitterness. The hives for the honey are placed near Ulmo trees, evergreens unique to Chile that grow upwards of a hundred feet.

They're from two different worlds, putting them together shouldn't make sense, but it does. Jasper Hill’s award-winning Bayley Hazen Blue cheese and a jar of Northern Italian chestnut honey come nestled like lovebirds in our fun, illustrated gift box. Smoky, intense, with hardcore flavor for the tortured romantic cheese lover in all of us.

The hand-ladled, fresh City Goat cheese from Zingerman’s Creamery comes snuggled with a jar of Californian coriander honey, like two peas in a pod in our fun, illustrated gift box.

Zingerman’s Spiced Pecans My obsession with Zingerman’s Spiced Pecans is serious...I love how one seemingly simple food can be so versatile! Toss a few over fresh greens and your salad instantly becomes more sophisticated. Pile a few on a cheese plate and your dinner guests will gobble them with delight. You can even jazz up breakfast by stirring some into your oatmeal or muffin batter. However, most often, you’ll find me snacking on them right out of the package. The balance of flavors along with the crunch makes my mouth happy and the perfect blend of sweet and savory lightly lingers on my tongue long after my last bite. The warm, buttery aroma reminds me of my days living in Manhattan when the scent of freshly-roasted nuts would fill my nose with coziness and, for a brief moment, make the city feel like my hometown in the Midwest.

with LOVE frOm tunisIa Onsa’s Olive Oil

We’ve been selling foods from Majid Mahjoub—our source for couscous and harissa and a slew of other outstanding foods from Tunisia (online)—for years now. At the base of most of those foods is Majid’s excellent extra virgin olive oil, made from unique-to-Tunisia chetoui olives. A few years back, we collaborated with Majid to create an oil that would be exclusive to Zingerman’s. We call it Onsa’s Extra Virgin Olive Oil, named for Majid’s wife, Onsa. In a small section of Majid’s orchard, the olives are allowed to remain on the tree a bit longer before harvesting.

Harvesting the olives when they’re more mature lends a softer, sweeter quality to the oil, though it’s still got a healthy, bitter, peppery kick.

Peranzana Olive Oil We looked long and hard for an oil to call our own. We finally chose this one.

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 extra virgin olive oil is hugely flavorful.

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 closely 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.

Farmstead Marvel

Valserena Parmigiano Reggiano Practically all Parmigiano Reggiano is made from milk pooled together from multiple farms. But the fifth-generation cheesemakers at Valserena make a farmstead cheese. That means they not only make the cheese, they also raise the cows, and all of the milk comes from their own herd. Where most parmesan is made from the milk of Freisian cows, at Valserena they raise brown Bruna Sola cows. They produce less milk than Freisians, but it has more butterfat—and more flavor. The result is outstanding: the cheese has a citrusy, mouthwatering quality, not unlike what you experience when you eat a juicy steak. Outstanding grated over a dish or for snacking on by itself.

True Tuscan

Valgiano Olive Oil Balsamic Vinegars from La Vecchia Dispensa Working just off the historic square in the center of the old town of Castelvetro, southwest of Modena, Italy, Roberta Pelloni, her husband Marino Tintori, and their son Simone make a range of great vinegars.

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 those from the Tintoris.

We’ve been selling them for over a decade, and they have a legion of followers who return to them again and again.

Valgiano is grown and pressed north of Lucca on the far west of Tuscany, about twenty miles inland from the Tyrrhenian sea. Lucca’s oils have long been prized. In The Food of Italy (published in 1971 but still a great book for traditional Italian foodways), Waverly Root writes, “The greatest gastronomic glory of Lucca is its olive oil, the finest in Italy.” The latest harvest has the bitter green flavors I associate with Tuscan oils, but a tad tamer, with flavors closer to green bell pepper. The finish includes a lasting tickle of pepper all down the throat.

INTRODUCING

Chocolate Tahini Coffee Cake When Amy Emberling, managing partner at Zingerman’s Bakehouse, pitched this new coffee cake flavor, I was intrigued. After tasting it, I was sold. It’s a slightly exotic twist on a peanut butter cup in coffee cake form (and without the peanuts). Kids love it ‘cause it’s got chocolate inside. Adults love it ‘cause it’s straight up delicious. Gift givers love it ‘cause there’s nothing like it anywhere.

Beyond the malL Cinn-ful 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.

When you walk into Zingerman’s Delicatessen, the first thing you see is bread. Enormous shelves stretching up to the ceiling, piled high with stacks of beautiful loaves. You can’t escape the smell. Invited to taste, you're unable to resist. Like most, you’ll end up leaving with a couple tucked under your arm. There’s not a bad loaf among them and the real gems—traditional peasant loaves like Paesano, Farm, and Jewish Rye—will redefine what you think bread can be.

It may sound crazy to take that bread and send it in the mail. It sounded nuts in 1992 when we started baking. Still does today.

But we ship more bread than any other food we sell, always have. If you’re not totally convinced but curious to see what the fuss is about, rest assured you can try it without risk. I guarantee you’ll love it. If you don’t, I’ll refund or re-ship, no questions asked.

The Future of our Flour from the Zingerman's Bakehouse Blog

F

lours are typically not single origin (that is to say, from a single farm). Instead, they’re blended in order to hit a list of “specs,” short for specifications, that make the flour’s performance very predictable and consistent. As of last summer, though, we switched to a new flour from Bay State Milling. It, too, is a blend of various wheats, but it comes primarily from wheat grown on a single farm: Ray Freeburg’s organic farm in Pine Bluffs, Wyoming.

Our new relationship with the farmer growing most of the wheat in our bread flour isn’t the only big new development at the Bakehouse. Last fall, we also installed our own mill. It is a relatively small stone mill that will allow us to use the freshest flour possible in many of our breads and pastries. Flour milled for us and flour milled by us, small farms and big farms, Michigan wheat and Colorado wheat, ancient grains and new varieties. The impending arrival of our mill and the concurrent switch to a new all-purpose flour are symbolic of our recognition that our bread making world needs them all.

French Mountain Bread

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.

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 it (it’s referred to in Little House on the Prairie as Rye ‘n’ Injun bread). 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, smoked salmon and just about any cheese plate you can dream up.

Chocolate Cherry

A cinnamon raisin bread with substance.

A chewy, solid loaf where the flavor of the dough supports the freelancing of the Red Flame raisins and the racy scent of Indonesian cinnamon. Sweetened and moistened with a hint of clover honey.

Makes sensational Sunday morning toast.

B-CIN 1½ lb handmade loaf $12

A chocolate lover's fantasy come true— the best Belgian and French chocolate and dozens of dried Michigan cherries. A few minutes in the oven, the chocolate chunks begin melting, the aroma of cocoa fills the air. Spread it with just a hint of sweet butter or set a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top of a warm slice. You'll be sitting in front of the most decadent dessert you've had in years.

B-CHO 1 ¼ lb handmade loaf $18

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. Some of our crew call it “coffee cake bread,” which gets to the spirit of the loaf, though its texture is much lighter.

the king of rivIera Oils

Roi Olive Oil

On the Italian Riviera, delicacy, not strength, brings an oil acclaim and honor. Roi is one of the best Ligurian extra virgin olive oils I’ve tried. It’s been made in the mountain town of Badalucco by the Boeri family since 1900, exclusively from the thumbnail-sized Taggiasca olive. This oil is the favorite of many of our crew. I regularly recommend it to folks who are beginning their olive oil education. At home, I love to pour Roi on freshly baked whole fish (half an hour at 350 degrees for a fish that weighs a pound).

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.

Agrumato Lemon & Orange Oils

I keep imagining that if I went to heaven, I’d discover these to be the oils the angels put on their salads. Smooth and olive-y with a bright fruitiness that tickles your nose like the bubbles of a fine champagne. This is not flavored oil but the traditional pressing of olives and citrus together—oil of the fruit married to oil of the olive in an ethereal combination. You can do most anything with Agrumato lemon and orange oils you’d do with other oils and then some. The lemon is particularly fantastic brushed on top of almost any just-broiled fish.

bold and BeautifUl La Spineta Olive Oil

Pugliese oils get little credit on the international oil scene. The region’s reputation is that of a producer of affordable bulk oils. But hidden in the shadows of the huge industrial producers are artisans like the Pellegrino family. I visited their farm a couple of years ago, and I keep coming back to their full-flavored extra virgin olive oil again and again. There’s a nose tingling grassiness that adds a depth of flavor to food. It’s especially good in spicy pasta dishes or any place you want a really robust olive flavor.

Fire Cider Vinegar

Service Star at Zingerman's Mail Order

Open the cap, and the first whiff of this ochre-colored vinegar will ignite your senses from the soles of your feet to your medulla oblongata (whatever it is, it will be ignited.) After collecting your blown-off socks from the other side of the room, examine the bottle. While you won’t find a triple X on the label, Fire Cider Vinegar comes from a long, northeastern tradition of mixing vinegars with various fruits, vegetables, peppers, and honey to create a down-home cure-all that would be taken to freeze fevers and burn off colds. Pour a small swig into a glass and knock it back, just as they would have 200 years ago. A bassline of ginger here and a guitar lick of horseradish there, fronted by the apple cider vinegar and driven on the habanero pepper drumming its way to the dramatic conclusion: an inevitable, inescapable exclamation from your mouth and a single tear shed by your great-great-great-great-grandfather as he suddenly realizes how hearty his progeny will be. At home at a Texas barbeque or a Pennsylvanian picnic, pour it on some french fries or season your steak with it. Or, keep it on your shelf just in case you need to win a game of truth or dare.

white balsAmIc, sOrt of Agrodolce White Balsamic Vinegar

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.

el secrEto Sherry Vinegar

While balsamic has garnered the publicity, specially aged sherry vinegar sits aging in oak barrels in southern Spain waiting to be discovered. Sanchez Romate draws upon 300 years of experience making sherry and sherry vinegar to blend different ages of vinegar (from three to fifty years old) to create a sweet, soft, mouth-tingling flavor. It became a staple in my home long ago, but for centuries before that it became the choice of the royal family of Spain— and the Vatican. Add a few drops to creamy tomato soup or 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. I’ve found it makes good food extraordinary.

Here Fishy Fishy the crown jewels

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—not netted—hand filleted at sea and quickly tinned by hand 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, silky texture, and lingering sweetness.

the prize of POrtugal 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.

just shy of toO much Clementines in Syrup We’ve been selling (and loving) the chocolate covered clementines (p. 34) from the Favella Masseria Ranch located near Sibari in Southern Italy for years. In one of those belated glimpses of the delicious, we finally brought over these slightly purer version: clementines in syrup. For three weeks they soak amazing Calabrian clementines in a constantly refreshed bath of simple syrup, pulling extra sweetness into the fruit to balance the brightness. Top your gelato, garnish roast pork or chicken, or serve on a cheese tray before dinner.

ocCam’s rAzOR of flavOr

After leaving the hustle of Manhattan for the quiet of the San Juan islands off the Washington coast, Audra Lawlor discovered a bounty of beautiful, heirloom produce—and soon started making jam. She uses tons of local fruit and a minimal amount of sugar.

The sweet, yellow shiro plums used in these preserves come from Audra’s own land and neighboring farms. The small amount of mint seems to enhance the flavor of the plums, not mask it, creating one of the more complex, unique preserves I’ve tried in a long time.

Where producers might get creative with obscure ingredients to make their charcuterie stand out, this salami went for true, straight forward pork flavor. And hit the mark.

Nueske’s Bacons

Benton’s Bacon

Nueske's Applewood Smoked Bacon is our top seller. Perfectly balanced between softly, pleasantly sweet and salty/smoky, to me this is the platonic ideal of bacon.

If I were to choose one bacon to eat every day, which pretty much sounds like heaven, this would be it. Nueske’s cures their bacon in spiced brine, smokes it over applewood for 24 hours then slices it thickly just for us. On the lighter end of the spectrum, Nueske’s Cherrywood bacon is a little milder, the salt a little lighter, the smokiness a little more present.

M-BAC 1 lb applewood $17 M-CHY 12 oz cherrywood $19

As Allan Benton explains, “The secret is that there is no secret.

This is the way bacon was made for years.” To do that, he dry cures heritage Berkshire pork bellies with salt and brown sugar for a full month, then smokes over hickory for 3 whole days. The exceptionally long curing and smoking times make for exceptionally flavorful, memorable flavor that’s a confluence of smoke, salt, and sweet all at once. Our most intense bacon by a country mile.

farmstead bAcon Hickory Smoked Duroc Bacon

Fourth-generation farmer Greg Gunthorp not only cures his own bacon—he also raises all the heritage-breed Duroc pigs himself on his pasture-based northern Indiana farm.

His pigs spend their lives rooting around outside without antibiotics, hormones, growth promotants or any other modern “improvements.” Greg dry cures the bacon for a week with salt and celery powder, then smokes it over hickory logs for 12 hours.

Lightly smoky, a little sweet and all the way delicious.

Valentine's dinner. You could go out to the fancy new restaurant, sure. It'll probably be good. But will it be this good?

We’ve got tapas to make a Spaniard envious. Pasture-raised beef and heritage breed pork. Slow-dried Italian pasta.

A Zingerman’s Reuben with all the fixins. Plus dessert just in from Italy to finish. A splurge, perhaps. But also the best Valentine’s meal in town, by far.

make a spaniard envious Tapas Gift Box

In Spanish, tapas sort of means snacks, but that’s an inexact translation. In English you wouldn’t eat a meal of snacks. In Spain there’s no problem doing just that. There, tapas can start a meal or substitute for it entirely. The ingredients in this collection of openand-serve delectables are not all Spanish, but the idea is. Eat them as the Spanish do, as evening makes its way indoors, with a glass of crisp wine. Packed by hand in our classic cartoon Zingerman's box, including: Zingerman's Farm Bread, La Quercia’s Borsellino Salami, Spanish Olive Oil and Anise Crispy Tortas, Marcona Almonds, Tuna-Stuffed Piquillo Peppers from Basque Country and Portuguese Sardines.

These ribeyes defy that norm, with luscious fat and stunning marbling. 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, serves an army. Ships frozen.

Our heritage Red Wattle breed porterhouse pork chops are over an inch thick and look like a T-bone steak. The flavor is famously sweet, in part due to a luscious band of melting fat. Great on the grill, they also cook up fantastically on the stove top (I like to brown a chop on the grill then put it in the oven to finish). From pastured pigs that root and roam and never receive hormones or antibiotics. Ships frozen.
