Borsellino Salamis from La Quercia 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. The smoked has a tickles of caraway and black pepper. Serve either a cheese plate or toss chunks into pasta or salads. Like all their meats, La Quercia's salamis are made from hogs raised naturally, without hormones or sub-theraputic antibiotics.

Not all the wheels that bear the world famous ParmigianoReggiano 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—has more complex flavors.

american vanguard Baia Organic Elbow Pasta

Renato Sardo and his partner Dario Barbone have been making dried pasta in Oakland, California since 2011 and they’re already at the vanguard of the pasta world. They use organic wheat grown and milled in the Plains states, extrude their pasta through bronze dies to give it a rough texture, and dry their pasta slowly at low temperatures so the flavor has time to expand. Elbow pasta is great for holding thicker sauces and meaty dishes, cold pasta dishes and of course, homemade mac-n-cheese. P-BAI-ELB 16 oz box $14 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

SOuthern stAndard bearer Faella Pasta from Naples

Our two gold standards for dried pasta, Martelli and Rustichella, come from Tuscany and Abruzzo in the center of Italy, the country’s heartland. But there’s been a long tradition of great pasta in and around Naples, too. I’ve really come to like the pastas from Faella, a century-old firm in Gragnano, who pays attention to all the key details that make for full flavored pasta: high protein wheat, bronze die extrusion to make the pasta surface rough, and long, slow drying times so the noodles taste more like bread than flour. The two typical shapes for the area, gemelli and casarecce, are both short, so they work great with chunky sauces.

a poignant lack of progress Black Olive Spread

I visited Caricato, the two hundred year old family firm that makes this olive spread, a dozen years ago. No one spoke English and we started the afternoon in the parlor on the second floo , all the shades drawn because even in May the Southern Italian heat comes in strong. The mother, the father, the son, the entire business, met and we talked about olives with help from a translating neighbor. They took me to see the press. It was stone, the last time I’ve ever seen a stone press for olive oil (they’re all stainless steel now). They took me to the farm which had rows of olive trees interspersed with artichokes and grapes the old way of planting (most fields are monoculture now). The farm’s paths were flowered in chamomile. There was a hundred year old caper bush, itself living in another century, its trunk as thick as a blue spruce. I must have made a scene about it because when I left that night I was given a shoe box full of salted capers from the home's well-stocked pantry. I carried them back in my suitcase to Ann Arbor and gave them to our crew. All this has nothing specific to say about olive paste. It’s just black olives, crushed and salted, mixed with extra virgin olive oil. If you like that kind of thing, and can imagine how all of Caricato’s attention to a poignant lack of progress must taste, you can guess how good it is. P-PDO 100 g jar $13 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

long flavor hike

Italy's bacon sauce

Take a drive throughout southern Italy and you’re likely to see wild fennel growing all around. Along the side of the road, atop rocky outcroppings, throughout a grassy field, it’s practically a weed, as common to the landscape as dandelions are in Michigan. The bulb looks like an oblong base of a bunch of celery. Thin stalks shoot towards the sky waving feathery fine leaves that remind me of dill. Eaten raw its flavor is sweet and anise-like. Yet it doesn’t make dishes taste like licorice. It’s a light, bright, slightly sweet flavor that pairs beautifully with delicate meals like fish or salads. Since we’re not in southern Italy and wild fresh fennel only available a short time anyway, this sauce is a delicious alternative. It gives your cooking the bright flavors fennel is famous for in an easy to use sauce. Dollop on fresh baked fish or lighter flavored meats like poultry. Or toss with your favorite pasta (Baia or Faella on the facing page are a great fit) and a tin of tuna. P-WAP 180 g jar $15

The Noto almond from Sicily is an heirloom variety renowned for its sweet, buttery flavor and penetrating fragrance. They’re great straight, but they bring an added nuance to sauces like this one made with sweet peppers and olive oil from the same region. This sauce goes into my “long flavor hike” category, meaning there’s a whole lot going on, but in series, not concert. The first flavor is sweet pepper, then it’s nutty and creamy, then the pepper comes back and it gets a little savory, then bright, and it all ends with the slightest amount of heat and your lips tingle just a little. The trip is so good, you'll go back to the beginning and do it again. It’s easy to get creative with this sauce and it pairs really well with fresh goat cheese (p. 9) and some good crusty bread. Pasta, bruschetta, vinaigrettes, grilled meats, poultry, grilled vegetables, eggs...this could be one of the most versatile and flavorful sauces we carry. Try it for yourself and see. P-APS 180 g jar $16

Made from tomatoes, onion, pancetta (Italy’s unsmoked bacon) this is a meal in a jar. The pancetta’s fat adds luxurious mouthfeel and lends the flavor a savory balance to the sweetness of the vegetables. Toss with just-cooked pasta and serve. You can spend a weekend making your own sugo con pancetta or save yourself some time and buy a few jars of this. It’ll turn your routine pasta night into something to celebrate. P-SPP 180 g jar $17

The family business of curing ham went commercial in America's south in the early 20th Century. It didn’t mean it went big and corporate, though. Today, there are still a handful of small, family-run businesses left over from that time that make traditional southern hams, bacons and other cured meats.

1909 Broadbent

Edwards

Our most venerable pork master, Broadbent has been curing meats in Kuttawa, Kenucky since Ernest Shackelton first explored the South Pole. Their ham is a classic southern cure, with salt and smoke seeking a flavorful balance. Their hickory smoked bacon is one of the few dry cured specimens left in America, salted without a brine so it has less moisture, the flavor correspondingly more intense. But for me its their smoked sausage, stuffed loose in a two inch wide casing, that’s the jewel in their porcine crown.

Sam Edwards III runs the curing business his grandfather started in Surry, Virginia. Sam's is simultaneuously one of the most traditional and forward-thinking of the southern ham houses. He still employs a seven-day hickory smoke and sets his rooms temperatures to follow the flow of the seasons. But he’s started to work with heritage breed Berkshire pigs from humane hog farmers—which, while I attribute up to forward-thinking, is actually traditional since it’s how pigs have been raised until modernity. His breakfast sausges, spiked with sage, are a classic. M-SBH berkshire smoked cured ham, 4 oz sliced $20 M-BHK hickory smoked ham hock, 1 ½ lb $10 M-EBS sausage, 2 lbs $39

I could choose from many olive oil makers we work with who’ve been around decades—or centuries. Here are two of my favorites.

Castello di Cacchiano

1014

Last year Castello di Cacchiano, which sits on an abrupt hillside an hour south of Florence, celebrated its 1,000 year anniversary. The Ricasoli family has owned it continuously for ten centuries, and it’s always been farmed, it’s always made olive oil. To put 40 generations in perspective, here are a couple historical comparisons: one thousand years ago the Crusades were still going on and paper hadn’t been invented yet. Cacchiano makes olive oil a little differently now than they did then but I think Tuscans from the middle ages would still recognize it. It’s a big, bold oil, redolent of green grass and artichokes. Use it at the end of cooking to add a lightning bolt of flavo . O-CAC 500 ml bottle $45 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

Roi

1947 Benton Allan Benton’s cult hams and bacons from Madisonville, Tennessee are divisive. Folks either love ‘em or hate ‘em. For chefs like David Chang at Momofuku it’s the no-holds-barred intensity—a product of an extra long dry cure and long smoking—that they rely on to amplify flavo . For many of our customers who crave that kind of deep flavor there’s nothing else that comes close. Find out what side you fall on. It’s a no-risk proposition, since, like with everything we sell, if you don’t like how they taste we’ll refund the order or send you something else, no questions asked.

Compare do Cacchiano, Roi is a relative baby, just a tenth its age. The Boeri family has been making oil in Badalucco, a village in rural Liguria there since the turn of the century before the last century. Badalucco is just twenty minutes on the autostrada from the Italian Riviera but, before the autostrada, it might as well have been on another planet. Inland Liguria is all hills and valleys, a difficult place t travel quickly but a great place to make olive oil. Roi’s oil is the polar opposite of Cacchiano. Not a bold bone in its body, it’s feathery light, a great match for the Riviera seafood that it anoints so well. Use it on fish or other delicate dishes.

Onion Rye Bread

8 Grain 3 Seed Bread

Onion Rye caught my eye while I was still in high school and new to the ways of gastronomy. Its poppy seed studs were so rebellious... so punk. And that faux-hawk of caramelized onions on top of the loaf...out in the open. So dangerous. Thrilling. Like it was staring me down, daring me to ask it to dinner; James Dean, Johnny Depp, and Daft Punk looked conformist next to this scoundrel. I was excited and worried, simultaneously. What if my family hated all that onion? But then, something happened. Onion Rye’s table manners were impeccable. Every course went flawlessl . My family loved Onion Rye when I brought it to dinner. We dunked, dipped, smothered, slathered, nibbled, gnawed, and sopped the night away. Onion Rye was perfect.

Nduja I've enjoyed all things pork my entire life, but when I discovered La Quercia I knew I had found the best of the best. Salty meats are my go-to snacks and knowing that La Quercia uses only humanely raised hogs made them my top choice. I've eaten cured meats like proscuitto and speck $14 for many years, but even though at La Quercia the Nduja is made from prosciutto and speck it was a new experience. They grind up the cured meat and blend in American red pepper to make a delicious spread. The combination of the salt, pork, and spices balance beautifully into a symphony of savory delight with just a hint of spice. No one flavor dominates the others, and I've found that this is equally as delicious on crackers with cheese, on a sandwich, or with a spoon. Be sure to get it out of the fridge early for maximum flavor as it really seems like room temperature brings the Nduja to life. M-NDJ 12 oz piece ON SALE! Was $29, NOW $15 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

Petraia Olive Oil In the late summer of 2007 I was fortunate to be a part of a tour of food producers in Puglia. We were staying near Andria and on our first day we visited the farm of the Pellegrino family. We toured the fields, watched the olives pressed and tasted a variety of oils that they produced. When we got to the organic olive oil Petraia, I fell in love with the intensity of its taste and aroma. While I had known that we had this oil in Ann Arbor, I had never tasted it before. I'm happy to say that I have been using it exclusively since returning from that trip. Each time I dip a piece of Paesano bread into it I return to that afternoon in the olive groves and the lunch we have with Elia Pellegrino and his family. O-PET 500 ml bottle $25 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

Sun Dried Cous Cous You’ve probably already had couscous. I assure you there is no other as good as this. This couscous is special and deeply rooted in the Tunisian Berber culture. It’s hand rolled and lets the sun do the drying. Call me crazy, but I swear you can taste the sea and smell the air in it. Majid Mahjoub is the visionary behind the Les Moulins Mahjoub Tunisian line, while I’m a fan of all of his products this is a staple in my household that I cannot live without. Throughout my years with Zingerman’s I have met countless inspiring producers but there was one moment when everything changed. On a cold spring day roughly five years ago I was introduced to Majid in Ann Arbor. He took me on a culinary adventure through Tunisia tasting a variety of his products, meticulously describing the production and history behind each one. By the end of the tasting I was overcome with emotion and much to my surprise, I was tearing up. He had struck such a chord so deep that a year later I would find myself in Tunisia eating the very food he spoke of while traveling through the countryside. Have you ever recognized a moment in time when you knew your culinary life would never be the same? That was it for me. Eating it may make you feel the same way. There are many things that make this couscous so remarkable. The first, and most noticeable, is the size. orget that small sand like couscous, this stuff is has weight. Second, is how simple it is to make. While this couscous is incredibly versatile and delicious on it’s own add a few roasted vegetables and Ortiz Tuna to it and you’ll have yourself a weeknight meal that even the most skilled chefs would envy.

The first time I tried this mustard, I had just moved back from Colorado to Michigan. Curiosity had gotten the best of me—it was a Michigan product and supposedly it was famous? I needed to know why. When the mustard arrived, I opened the jar, and scooped myself a heaping teaspoon to try this famous mustard out and…BOOM!!!! Yup it was mustard, really delicious, sweet, spicy but smooth in flavo , balanced, even creamy (it has egg yolks in it which gives it the amazing texture, very unique indeed). It tasted great on it’s own, which meant it would be good with a thousand other things. So immediately I tried it on a fried egg, ham and cheese sandwich on sourdough bread and my god was it good. Next I tried it with roasted beets, frisee, and toasted walnuts, delicious. Just recently, we seared some venison top sirloin at the Roadhouse restaurant and finished it by glazing the venison with Famous Kream and fresh herbs—wow! So to say the least, this stuff is great, it is super versatile, glaze with it, make a vinaigrette, spread it on a sandwich, whatever suits your fancy, it is great in many applications, or just eat it with fresh vegetables. Michiganders be proud! We too have great mustard! P-FKM 10 oz jar $10 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

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 in good olive oil. The olive oil is key. It adds flavor and makes the texture silky over time, unlike water, which tends to leach flavors from the fish. We went to Spain and selected a single great batch of Bonito loin, our best seller, for fullness of flavor, siky texture, and lingering sweetness. A Zingerman's exclusive. Kosher.

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

Little sardines

It’s almost a forgotten bit of history, but it was Napoleon we have to thank for tinned sardines. He was looking for a portable, shelf-stable food for the troops fighting in his various wars. He conducted a contest and sardines won. It wasn’t long after when Connetable went into business. The firm is still there today, and the sardines are fished in the same cold Atlantic waters off the Breton coast of France. They are now bedded in extra virgin olive oil which I think is the only upgrade this tinned fish has seen in 162 years. Extra virgin olive oil makes them silkier. The saline sea edge of sardine is still there, but less sharp. P-CNS 4 oz, about 4 sardines $9

These wonderful, traditionally prepared sardines are packed by the Gonidec family in the old Breton port town of Concarneau under the name Les Mouettes d’Arvor. Currently in their third generation—a relative newcomer next to Connétable (left)— they remain true to old methods. The fish are fresh, never frozen. As per the old Breton way, the newly landed sardines go into a bath of ice and salt water. Called "pickling" this process firms the flesh of the fish. The fish are then laid out on racks and dried slowly in kilns then fried. Drained, they're hand packed in extra virgin olive oil. P -LMA 3½ oz, about 4 sardines $11

The Portugese call these “sardinhas”— little sardines. They’re about half the size of a typical tinned sardine. While the fish’s dimensions have been reduced the flavor is not. They’re every bit as rich and even more silky textured. Ramon Peña hand packs their tins with flair, the fish so artfully laid out you’ll feel totally comfortable bringing a just-opened tin to the table to snack from directly.

Razor Clams from Ramon Peña

Razor clams, named for the way their shell resembles a straight razor—are the red headed stepchild of the clam world. Littlenecks, manilas and cockles get all the attention, while razor clams languish, rarely seen on restaurant menus or at the fish monger’s. Lucky for us Ramon Peña specializes in overlooked sea creatures, especially ones that are tasty. And razor clams are indeed tasty. Their shape makes their texture a bit different than a regular clam, a little more like octopus or squid. The flavor is deep and briny. Tinned simply in olive oil these are a great gift for a curious seafood seeker. P-RCL 205 g tin $39

nifty trick

Octopus from Ramon Peña Octopus is a tricky fish to tin. We’ve never sold it and it’s not from lack of trying. I’ve probably tasted octopus from twenty different companies. Those fish suffered a range of maladies: overly gelatinous, too cat-foody, or they had what I refer to as “rubber hose phenomenon.” I came to Ramon Peña’s octopus with low expectations born from experience. What I tasted was a treat, a surprise that ranks at the top of my new food list this season. Peña’s round tin holds over a dozen slices of tentacle, suckers intact. Octopus is never a melt-in-your mouth food and these are appropriately meaty with a satisfying ticky tacky bite that never once veers to garden hose. They have a scent of the sea so clear it’s disarming. A tin serves 4 as an appetizer. And since one of those 4 people probably doesn't eat octopus there’s more for you.

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 fish, this is definitely worth splurging on.

Santoña is a village in Northern Spain facing the Cantabrian sea. It’s got a great crescent shaped beach, which means it’s thronged with tourists in summer. It’s also got a well protected port, which has meant, historically, it’s thronged with anchovy boats during the spring season, April, May and June. There are fewer boats today, but Don Bocarte buys from them regularly, salting, aging, then tinning up prized Cantabrian anchovies in Spanish olive oil.

I'm convinced that one of the main reasons people dislike anchovies is they've only had bad ones. And one of the reasons for bad anchovies is room temperature storage.

Italy's classic balsamic, why we only carry one The Balsamic Vinegars of La Vecchia Dispensa

While we carry different vinegars and olive oils from different farms and acetaias we only carry one family's everyday balsamic: La Vecchia Dispensa. Working just off the historic square in the center of the old town of Castelvetro, southwest of Modena, Italy, Roberta Pelloni and her husband Marino Tintori make a range of outstanding balsamics. And while I've probably tasted another fifty balsamics since we started carrying theirs a decade and a half ago none have come close in terms of balance and flavor. Although Americans tend to gravitate toward sweet caramel-flavored balsamics, Marino is quick to emphasize “the key to great Balsamico is balance.” Exaggerating sweetness is an easy way to enhance appeal and reduce the need for proper blending and aging. You might not notice it at first, but after many uses overly sweet balsamics get kind of dull. Not so with Vecchia Dispensa. They have a legion of followers who return to them again and again. A staff and customer favorite, their 10 year aged balsamic is the most intensely flavored balsamic of its age I’ve ever tried. Its complexity, with rich flavors of oak, blackberry and dark fruit, is partly due to aging in very small batches. That allows more evaporation and contact with the barrel—both of which contribute to more intense flavors. Although aged for only 25 percent longer than the 8 year balsamic, the intensity of flavor is almost double. As you move up the age range—to 16 year and 30 year—the liquor thickens, the sweetness enhances, the carmelization takes you on a wild ride of flavor. EACH SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

a kind of white balsamic

Like the tradition of balsamic in Modena, Italy, cider vinegar in the northeast was a family cure-all for various ailments, smooth and easy to sip straight from a glass. You can of course employ this vinegar that way, but it's also great when you're looking for flavor, not medicine. Made in Pittsfield, Massachusetts from local honey, organic cider vinegar and a blend of roots, fruits and herbs.

Agrodolce vinegar has been selling at incredible rates. Maybe it's because we've been noting how it tastes like balsamic but it's a white wine vinegar.

Agrodolce is super smooth, light on the tongue, subtle and very, very long in the finish. You can use it in place of balsamic since it’s similarly soft and sweet. It’s crafted by Sante Bertoni on his family estate outside of Modena, Italy.

from the birthplace of pesto Ligurian Basil Pesto You can make fresh pesto on your own. But let me tell you, even in a jar, Ligurian pesto is absolutely delicious and usually beats homemade. Basil grows easily in that region's temperate climate. It's harvested very young, when just two leaves have sprouted on the plant. That's something very difficult to do in America unless you have your own basil farm. Yet it's the trick to keeping it sweet and herbaceous. Roi's Ligurian pesto doesn’t suffer the hot anise flavors you get when basil is harvested later in its life. Ligurian olive oil is also delicate and sweet, a good match for basil, whose flavors would be overwhelmed by a more robust oil. Last but not least, the pine nuts are the very flavorful Italian variety, not the cheaper, blander imports from China. When we ask for pesto from Franco and Rosella at Roi, the century old farm near the coast, it’s made to order with their own excellent olive oil. P-PTO 180 g jar, 10 servings $12 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

Middle eastern secret Pomegranate Molasses

Pomegranate molasses is a syruplike reduction of pomegranate juice and sugar that has a really unique, tart-sweet flavor and is colored a gorgeous, deep reddish purple. It’s as thick as maple syrup with sweet and sour flavors that combine the best of balsamic vinegar with lush fruit. Great as an ingredient in an array of Middle Eastern dishes, it’s the sort of addition to sauces and stews that adds enormous depth of flavor but no one can ever identify.

"That sorghum is too good on vanilla ice cream or biscuits. Yum. Not so great with wine, however." Kermit Lynch, Wine Importer

southern sweetner

Sorghum Molasses Most of the twenty-four hundred acres that produce sorghum in the U.S. are in Tennessee or Kentucky, where the Old Order Amish Yoder family settled in the 1970s. The Yoders plow their farm with a team of mules and the family works the land without machine. The cane is cut and pressed to extract the juice, then it's boiled and evaporated in a process similar to the production of maple syrup. Sorghum molasses is sweet with exceptional depth. Notes of burnt sugar and caramel are there, and the flavor is very long lasting. It's a great topping on biscuits or bread. It's also good when used to sweeten up bitter vegetables: roast some brussels sprouts and drizzle a bit on them just before serving.. P-SGM 1 lb jar $10 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

The search is over Coop’s Hot Fudge I’ve been patiently searching for a great hot fudge ever since Zingerman’s Creamery started making gelato a decade ago. Till now it’d been a sickly sweet, unlucky quest. Most have too much sugar. Many have a laundry list of unpronounceable ingredients. Then along came Coop’s. To be honest, the jar caught my eye first. A wax seal drips from the top looking like chocolate that leaked out of the vat. Usually when I see clever packaging like this I’m suspect. It often overshadows the food. To my surprise the hot fudge inside was good. Not just good, pretty great. Sporting just six ingredients, all of which I promise you’ll recognize, Marc Cooper’s hot fudge is milky and chocolaty without being overly sweet. Microwave for less than a minute and you’re in business. P-HHF 10.6 oz jar $16 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

Darkly sweet, not too heavy nor too goat-y. From Looking Glass Creamery in North Carolina, where it’s a twelve hour day for Jen and Andy Perkins and Ashley, their sole employee, to make and jar a single batch. P-GTC 7 oz jar $15

A glimmer of white ginger gives this thick butter caramel a spicy, prickly character to balances its dark sweetness. From Robert Lambert's amazing kitchen in northern California. P-HGC 8 oz jar $20

You’d think it’d be easy to find a classic, simple, no-bullsh%& caramel sauce. Not so. It took five years of looking before we hit jackpot with Kristine Insalaco-Gaioni simple caramel spread. The flavor is outstanding. P-LMC 10 oz jar $20

Michigan maple syrup Maple Syrup From Michigan

Maple Moon is a family affair. Since 2012 both mom and dad Peterson and all four kids have been working their eighty acres in Petoskey, Michigan to create some of the purest tasting maple syrup I’ve enjoyed in years. “Our entire grove is nothing but maples,” said mom Christi Peterson. “Birch, ceder and maples grow in this area, but the only trees we have are maples.” While the cause of why only maples strive in the grove are debated, what it means is the only trees influencing the soil are maples. The terroir (the French term meaning things taste like where their grown) is only maple, so the flavor of the syrup isn’t complicated by other arboreal influences. We’ve selected syrup produced towards the end of the season, when there’s less water in the sap, and therefore more sugars. The color is dark-amber and the flavor is robust, sweet, thick on the tongue and smells like the forest. It’s like taking your tastebuds camping and serving up one of those breakfasts you remember and recant around the campfire. All in the comfort of your own dining room.

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 B-2K-ROA 2 kilo round $25 SHIPS 2 BUSINESS DAY

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 one and a half pound loaf is pictured, but the three 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. B-MON-A ¾ kilo handmade loaf $12 B-MON-B 2 kilo handmade “Z” loaf $26 SHIPS 2 BUSINESS DAY

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). 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.

chocOlate cherRy

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 SHIPS 2 BUSINESS DAY

Craquelin Bread

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 su rounding dough. Some of our crew call it “coffeecake bread” which gets to the spirit of the loaf, though its texture is much lighter. B-QUE 1½ lb loaf $22 SHIPS 2 BUSINESS DAY

chocolate sourdough bread It’s simple: our sourdough bread stuffed with chunks of dark Belgian chocolate. Like most of the school children I know, I like to rip off a hunk and eat it as soon as I open the bag, but it's best when you pop it in the oven for about fifteen to twenty minutes. Your entire kitchen is likely to be filled with sensuous smells—warm chocolate, good bread. This is one loaf that's very hard to keep around the house.

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 Tellicherry 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. B-BAC ¾ lb handmade loaf $13 SHIPS 2 BUSINESS DAY

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. B-PEP 1¼ lb handmade loaf $16

new mexico green chile & cheDdar

I love this bread: savory, lusty, delicious and dangerously close to addictive. Softly spicy, fire-roasted New Mexico green chiles and raw milk Nor'easter Cabot cheddar blended into the Bakehouse’s tangy Farm Bread. Great on its own or as an accompaniment to dinner. It’s especially good if you give it about twenty minutes in a 325 degree oven before you break it open so it’s nice and steamy when you crack the crust. B-CHI 1¼ lb handmade loaf $15

jewish breadS, RYe & Beyond

Traditional Jewish rye bread is still an endangered American species. Twenty-two years after we started baking them in Ann Arbor you'll still be hard pressed to find a loaf like them anywhere in the country. Believe it or not, most “rye bread” sold in America contains very little rye flour. These are different. These are breads like my grandparents ate in Eastern Europe: plenty of rye flour, a natural sour rye starter (not the usual canned shortcut) and lots of time to let the dough develop. They’re the breads I reach for to make a sandwich or to eat with cool butter and fresh oysters. A perfect pairing with corned beef.

June 2014 Harvest

new zealand

Moutere Grove

The aroma is grassy with some green banana. The texture is buttery. The most notable difference from past bottlings is the finish. Pepperiness is there, but it doesn't leave your mouth tingling or tickle your throat with as much bitterness as 2013's harvest.

A truly excellent extra virgin olive oil that comes from New Zealand. Amazingly well rounded and complex, especially for one that’s only been in the works for less than a decade. Ed and Liz Scott use Tuscan olive varieties on their certified organic farm to lend their oil boost of spicy green olive flavor with a generous dose of pepperiness. That flavor is balanced with a touch of South acific lushness that—I swear—hints of tropical fruit in the finish. Try a bottle and bring this fresh set of olive oil flavors to salads, pastas, full-flavored fish or some nice New Zealand lamb grilled wit garlic and fresh rosemary.

Classic Banana Bread & Chocolate Chunk Banana Bread 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). There are no nuts in these loaves, just the classic charms: flour, cane sugar, real butter and fresh eggs, a touch of Madagascar vanilla and two freshly peeled bananas per loaf. Chocolate chunk banana bread is the same story, with the addition of huge chunks of chocolate. Wrapped in tissue, each loaf comes packed in its own colorfully illustrated box. Serves 5-7.

It’s 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 care with the details. Real butter in the crust. Great brown sugar—ours is organic and natural, from Mauritius— for the filling. Loads of toasted pecans. Our pie bakers stuff in so many pecans—whose flavor really comes forward when toasted— that there’s barely enough room to fit them in, let alone any of the caramelly brown-sugar custard.

Foods from around the five Great Lakes

we've got the food, you adD the wine

Twenty years ago it was a tough task to build a collection of great American artisan foods, let alone one strictly from the Great Lakes. My, how times have changed. Today the difficult job is not finding enough foods, it's editing the selection. Here are seven delectables that I think represent some of the ingenuity and resources of artisan food makers from our region. We stuff our cartooned gift box with Peanut Butter from Koeze in Grand Rapids, Jam from Farrell Fruit in Ann Arbor, Freshly Roasted Zingerman's Coffee, Mo’s Bacon Chocolate bar from Vosges in Chicago, Marieke Gouda from Thorp, Wisconsin, Nueske’s Applewood Smoked Bacon from Wisconsin and our Pecan Raisin Bread. G-GLA gift box $100

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 open-and-serve delectables here 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. The gift box includes Zingerman's Farm Bread, La Quercia’s Cured Ham, Mediterranean Olives, Spanish Olive Oil and Anise Tortas, Spanish Marcona Almonds, Portuguese Sardines and Italian Taralli crackers. Serves 6-8 quite handily. G-TAP tapas gift box $75

Martelli Pasta The Martelli family makes these pastas in the tiny Tuscan town of Lari, which is on the way to nowhere and out of the way from everywhere. The Martellis do everything right that most commercial pasta makers do wrong. They insist on using only the hardest durum wheat flour, extrude their pasta through traditional bronze dies which makes the pasta grip the sauce, and take their time drying the pasta. Time is the key, since the slow dry makes the texture more chewy and the flavor more intense, the taste more like bread than raw wheat. P-MAR-SPA 500 g spaghetti $10 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

American polenta italian polenta Mulino Marino Polenta

I returned from a visit to a family-run mill in the Piedmont region of northern Italy giving its polenta the highest compliment good food can get. This polenta made by Mulino Marino tastes purely, exactly like what it is: corn. It's a gorgeous golden orange, organically grown and absolutely the best I’ve ever tried. It's so sweet I thought they’d put sugar in it. The polenta is made from otto file heirloom corn. If you are looking for something special to serve with dinner, buy a bag and a chunk of Parmigiano-Reggiano and then hold on to your socks: this stuff is good. The fine ground is delicate and soft on the tongue. Coarse ground has a rustic, mouth-filling feel. P-POL 1 kilo $16 P-POL-COA 1 kilo $16

Pungo Creek Mills Indian Cornmeal

If we were in Italy, we’d call it polenta. But this is America, so we call it cornmeal. Doesn’t make it any less delicious or easy to use. It’s made from an heirloom breed of corn called ‘Bloody Butcher.’ It’s been grown at the base of the Blue Ridge Mountains since 1840, though it was likely traded among Native Americans for centuries before anyone arrived from the New World. The kernals are deep purple and the ground meal is speckled with hints of red. It tastes like sweet, nutty corn— surprisingly as much like corn than fresh corn on the cob and is likewise as easy to cook. Simply mix a cup of cornmeal with four cups boiling water and stir for about twenty minutes. Enjoy in the morning like oatmeal or serve as a side dish with dinner.

stones, NOt STEel Macroom Irish Oatmeal

Eating this for the first time is like taking your first promenade in Paris, France, when all you’ve known is Paris, Texas: you realize just how good oatmeal can be. The Walton family has been milling oats in Ireland since the 1700s, and they still use old stone wheels, which I think leave the oats better tasting than steelcut. The result is a coarse meal that has its natural oils still intact, making the meal darker than other oatmeal. Facts aside, the most important thing is the way it tastes, extremely good.

French dRiEd plums Prunes d’Agen

Prune. It’s one of those words you should use with caution to sell a food. Almost all its connotations are bad. So let me start by calling these dried plums instead. Now doesn’t that sound better? Marketing magic! Dried plums from Agen, a town in southwest France just below Bordeaux, are kind of like hazelnuts from the Piedmont or sour cherries from Northern Michigan. A famed food, an agricultural one-of-a-kind people travel miles to taste in its home environment. Now you can save the trip. We’ve brought them to America. Though dried, these plums are incredibly moist, almost juicy when you eat them. There is a dark caramel note in the flavor. You can enjoy them as is, any time. I like to add them to yogurt for breakfast. Or, do as the folks from Agen do: soak them in Armagnac brandy and eat them after dinner with some cheese. P-AGN 250 g box $13 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

one two three flavor punch Hodi Hungarian Paprika

This paprika comes from the Hodi family in Szeged, one of the two regions in southern Hungary that’s particularly noted for paprika production. It’s the highest grade of paprika available called kulonleges, meaning “extraordinary” or “special” in Hungarian. The Hodis are involved in the whole operation: they grow the peppers and harvest them when they’re at their peak of redness and ripeness, then they dry them and grind them to powder using an old stone mill. The result is phenomenal. It has a gorgeous deep, rusty orange color and the flavor is full, lively, sweet yet meaty. We have hot, sweet and smoky paprika; the hot has a gentle rising heat, the sweet is much milder and the smoky is much smokier with some caramel sweetness. All add a tremendous punch of flavor to any dish. Try swirling it into soups, whisking it into an omelet, sprinkling it on potatoes or pasta.

that's my jam Coconut Jam

Across Southeast Asia they make Srikaya (coconut jam) or simply Kaya. In Malaysia, the name means “rich” But a more detailed translation might also include "smooth," "creamy" and "more please." This version is made closer to home, in San Francisco. Cristina Widjaja modeled her jam on her mother's recipe. She slow cooks coconut milk, egg yolks and sugar.

Jeff Koeze's Cream-Nut from Michigan

Pic’s from New Zealand

Made in Grand Rapids to a hundred year old recipe. Jeff sources incredible Virginia peanuts, brings them up north in one ton sacks, then blanches them to remove the skins and keep them from going rancid (a common flaw in a lot of natural peanut butters). He roasts them in vintage coffee roasters, grinds them smooth, then adds a bit of salt±—no sugar. The result is not an air whipped, sweet concoction but a natural, intense, velvety, mouthwatering sensation. P-BUT 17 oz jar smooth $9.50 P-CRU 16½ oz jar crunchy $9.50

Pic takes peanuts from Australia’s South Burnett region, roasts them in small batches, adds a pinch of salt and calls it good. We call it really, really good.

On top of ice cream it’s almost like chopped nuts and Fluffernutter® in one. (I mean that as a compliment, all you Fluffernutter® haters) P-WBB 8½ oz jar $24 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

Jam, to be precise. Two of the best jams I've ever tasted, to be even more precise.

American Spoon's Strawberry Featuring a most fickle fruit, the tender, fragrant early glow strawberry. Don't look for it in your supermarket— almost no one grows the strain commercially. But the flavor it lends to this unrivaled jam from Petoskey, MI will make you wish someone did. P-STR 9 oz jar $12

Agrimontana's Fig A rare treat from the Bardini brothers, who have long worked with fine hand picked fruit from the foothills of the Italian Alps. They sweeten with nothing but pure cane sugar—never corn syrup or fructose—and each jar contains over 60 percent fruit. No pectin is ever added. P-FIG 12 oz jar $12 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

sun dried friEd pePpeRS Peperoni Cruschi

If you have a soft spot in your heart for peppers or potato chips—or both—you’ll love these. Very mild chiles from the Massimo family in Basilicato, a region in the far south of Italy, are strung together by hand and then hung to dry in the sun for a few weeks. Finally they're fried in a bit of the farm’s own olive oil, and then salted. The result is a sweet, smoky, salty, crispy sensation that’s quite habit forming. Not at all spicy—the more you eat, the more you want. Italians nibble them alongside a glass of wine, presumably with the willpower to stop. P-POS 25 g bag $22 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

Rangpur Lime Syrup

sicIlian StunNer

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. P-LIM 5 oz bottle $15 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

Sun Dried Sicilian Tomatoes

versatile oddiTy

By far the best and the sweetest semi-dried tomatoes I’ve ever tried. Little known in the United States, this supersweet variety of tomato is grown only in Sicily. The ripe tomatoes are hand picked, dried in the sun for three full days—not in ovens, as most commercial versions are—then packed with fresh basil in a bit of vinegar and extra-virgin olive oil. Have some on hand for special entertaining (they make a nice addition to a cheese plate) or everyday eating (especially in a fresh pasta sauce). When you're done, save the oil and vinegar they're packed in for a superior Sicilian marinade. P-PAC 290 g jar $21

Pickled Raisins

Golden raisins (or sultanas) are cured in a mixture of cider vinegar, mustard seed, thyme, chili and a bit of bay leaf. They’re slightly spicy but nowhere near hot. The sweetness of the raisins really comes through and is the focal point of flavor. How do you use them? Any way you like. Toss them in salads or set some up as a side to grilled meats (they're great with pork loin). Include them as a bit player in a cast of appetizers. Set out a spread of salami and cheese (they're especially amazing with Swiss L'Éetivaz). P-PCK 9 oz jar $15 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

bunny flop Easter Fondant Cake

Fondant frosting makes a gorgeous cake. It shapes like potter’s clay and holds color like a fresco. All those tilting, day-glo cakes you see that are so alluring—all fondant. Unfortunately, most of the cake’s engineering stops at decoration. The meat of the cake, so to speak, is bland and pointless. Our popular carrot cake—loads of carrots, toasted walnuts and more—has a handmade vanilla fondant frosting that really tastes good. It's decked out with a clumsy bunny. Quantities limited, reserve yours early. Ships frozen. Available until Easter. A-EAS 2¼ lbs, 6" diameter, serves 6-10 $125 FREE SHIPPING

We make amazing Italian-style gelato and we ship it all over the place. From $110, free shipping. See page 41.

Italy’s easter cake Colomba

From baker Luigi Biasetto comes Colomba, the traditional Italian cake for Easter. It’s a feathery light cake studded with candied citrus and almonds and redolent of vanilla. (If you know panettone you aren't far off.) After the eggs have been hunted and the baskets found, set out the Colomba and call the family back to the table. Shaped like a dove, it’s a beautiful centerpiece and fantastic with tea or coffee. Very limited quantities, reserve yours before they all fly away. P-OLO 750 g cake $90 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

Made with traditional Swiss style buttercream frosting. where fresh eggs and sugar are whipped into a meringue, then mixed with real Wisconsin butter and Madagascar vanilla. Our cakes are also marked by what they don't contain: no artificial anything, no mixes, no shortening.

City Hams for Easter Unlike aged country hams (p. 12), these young "city hams" are the kind that most of us (at least those from the North) are used to eating. The ones you put in the oven for a few hours, sometimes pinned with pineapple slices. Skip the pineapple here, these hams don’t need it. They are full of flavor already. Just heat, slice and eat. Select which ham you’d like based on its flavor profile. Each is raised in the Midwest by farmers under the direction of Heritage Foods, the folks who bring us our amazing porterhouse pork chops (p. 4). The pigs are not confined, have access to the outdoors to root and roam, and never receive antibiotics or hormones. Maple sugar cured for two weeks, smoked over hickory. Shipped frozen, may arrive still frozen and need a day to defrost.

Bacon Chocolate Easter Eggs

My 4-year old daughter 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 daughter) so don’t feel bad about snatching them up and hoarding them for the adults.

Easter egG mAgic Chocolate and Hazelnut Stuffed Easter Eggs

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. 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.

Line Caught Bonito Tinned Tuna from Ortiz There is nothing as simple, elegant, and tasty as a tin of this tuna lightly sautéed with onions, and hot pepper flakes. Served over pasta it is quick and wonderfully delicious. The onions give it a sweetness and the pepper flakes some tang, but the tuna itself is the focus. Create incredible flavor in almost no time at all. With this in the pantry I am always 5 minutes away from a heavenly meal. I love the leftovers cold on toast or crackers as well, so lunch the next day is easy as well.
