Red Wattle Porterhouse Pork Chops & RibsRed Wattle is an old breed of pig that was raised for

flavor, not fashion. Today you might find Red Wattle pork in a few restaurants in New York. There was almost no supply for us home cooks. Until now. Were working with Heritage Foods to secure big, fat, Red Wattle porterhouse pork chops and ribs. Each chop measures an inch and a quarter thick and tips the scales at fourteen ounces. The ribs are similarly sized. The flavor is rich, herbaceous, even a little sweet. It packs more flavor than Ive ever had in a pork chop. The crowning glory of Red Wattle pork, however, is its fat. It marbles the meat and wraps it 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 great steak. Its never a sensation Id experienced in pork until this one. The pork comes from hogs that are raised impeccably. The pigs are not confined, have access to the out-doors, and never receive antibiotics or hormones. Ships frozen, though

they may thaw and be cold, not hard, when they arrive. Chops, cut thick, porterhouse style with the tenderloin attached, come two to a pack.

Applewood Smoked BaconOur house bacon for more than two

decades, sliced thicker just for us. The Nueske family started smoking bacon in

Hillcrest, Wisconsin, about 100 years before we started serving sandwiches in 1982. They start

with well-bred, well-fed hogsprimarily a cross of Yorkshire, Hampshire, Landrace and Berkshireand serve them a mix of barley and corn. All the pork is hand trimmed and

cured for 24 hours. They hang the slabs for another 24 hours to dry. Then theyre smoked

over apple wood foryou guessed it24 hours. And the flavorwhere to begin? There's a reason this is our top seller. It is amazingly balanced between softly, pleasantly sweet, salty and smoky. To me this is the Platonic ideal of bacon. If I were to choose one smoked piece of pork to eat every day of my life, which pretty much sounds like heaven, this would be it.

Ibrico Bellota Cured Pork LoinShocking. Theres no other way to describe the experience of first tasting cured bellota pork

in this case, the loin made from heirloom Ibrico pigs whove feasted on bellotas

(acorns) the last months of their lives. Even in Spain, where bellota pork is more

common, eating it is a very special event. The acorn diet has a magi-cal effect on the meat's texture. It appears to lower the fat's melting point to body temperature. Eating a thin slice is like placing a piece of chocolate on your tongue. It immediately puddles, the flavor releasing itself in the process. A cut of loin is about a foot long, the thickness of a baseball bat handle. It's riddled with fat: tiny, creamy white flecks among the rosy flesh. Outside it's coated in paprika which, while not spicy, gives each bite a tiny peppery tingle. Unbelievable stuff.M-LOM about 1.1 lbs $150SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

let's give it up for walnuts Walnut ButterPeanut butter is king in America. But the regal walnut? When does it get its fifteen minutes? From Lime Rock Orchards in Paso Robles, California comes the perfect candidate for fame's quick feast. Where other nut butters resemble chewing on mortar, this has a fluffy light texture. It's complemented by a toasty warm fla-vor. Spread it on a scone or bagelits fantastic. On top of ice cream its almost like chopped nuts and Fluffernutter in one (I mean that as a compliment all you Fluffernutter haters). Even hard core peanut butter fans like myselfIm crazy for Koezes Cream Nut Butter p. 23can find a spot in their pantry for this.

Cracker sybilSweet Potato CrackersFrom North Carolina, America's home for sweet

potatoes, comes a grand cracker that walks the line between sweet and savory. Its almost like it's got a split personal-

ness, too. So is it a sweet treat? A savory snack? I say yes. Gluten free.

cheesemonger's crackersIrish Brown Bread CrackersSeamus Sheridan is a cheesemonger with several eponymous throughout Ireland. Recently he's worked with a miller and baker to create some rather outstanding crackers including my favorites, brown bread crackers. A word of warning: like their brown bread inspiration, these taste a bit underwhelming at first. They have a quiet, subtle complexity that takes over, a product of the traditional alchemy of buttermilk, butter, and stone ground wheat (made at the same mill we source our Irish oatmeal, online). Chewy, balanced, andgiven that an Irish cheesemonger made the recipeyou can trust they go amaz-ingly well with any wet-country cheeses, especially those we carry from London's Neal's Yard Dairy.P-BBC 5 oz box $9SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

BerberechosGalician cocklesberberechos, in Spanishare 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 won-derful sweet sea aroma and the flavor and textureocean sweet, meaty, tender and succulentare clearly a labor of love. This is the kind of tinned seafood that you find almost nowhere besides Spain where it's considered a deli-cacy. It may take some time to wrap your head around that idea, or wrap your wallet around the price, but if you know someone who loves special fishes, this is definitely worth splurging on. Just open the tin and serve, like it's done at the best Barcelona tapas bars. No shells. P-CLM 4 oz tin $35 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

Portuguese SardinesThere are actually dozens of different fish sold as sar-dines 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 or extra virgin olive oil, which has the effect of making the flavor more buttery, less metal-lic. 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.

Ortiz Tuna from Spain Tuna is one of the most popular foods we sell. It may seem sur-prising because here in the U.S., tinned tuna is a low-end com-modity usually sold in supermarkets. In Spain its 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 caughtnot net-tedhand 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. All are kosher.

Rizzoli Olive Oil Packed Anchovies In most social circles it's rarely appropriate to admit that you love anchovies. But when you hook up with great anchovies like these they can quickly become one of the most enjoy-able parts of your eating routine. Rizzoli is a fifth-generation firm in Parma, Italy that buys anchovies in the spring, when they're fattest. They're caught in traditional net circles which keeps them from being bruised. The attention Rizzoli gives to the entire process is clear when you see their tin. It's a gorgeous gold box that looks like a jewel case more than a fish tin. These are not the putrid little fish you find scattered on pizza. Rizzoli's anchovies are consistently plump, meaty, never mealy, with the clear, crisp, deep flavor of the sea. Toast some Farm Bread, rub a raw clove of garlic across the surface, then lay a couple of these on top. Make an open face egg salad sandwich and top it with two anchovy fillets.

About the size of a fat chestnut, each is a slightly spicy, silky flavor bomb. The pepper pops when you bite. The savory stuffing fills your mouth with the taste of the sea with a lingering smokiness. The flavor lasts and lasts, subtly changing and getting more interesting. Expensive but worth it if you're looking for an exceptional experi-ence. P.S. Don't throw out the olive oil. It makes an excellent salad dressing or mari-nade. Very limited supplies.

Moulin de la ChartreuseFor years, weve had three Provenal olive oils: Alziari, Maussane and Erics. Now, for the first time in a decade, theres a fourth. It wasnt from lack of trying. Its hard to find a great-tasting extra virgin oil from that area. This fits the bill, its one of the best French extra virgin olive oils Ive tried in a long time. The flavor of the current harvest is very bright, with a but-tery aroma.

RAre brEed frOm CataloNia Clos de la Torre Olive OilIn the Empord region in northeast Spain near the French border grows the rare Argudell olive. It's tiny, even smaller than Spain's famous Arbequina. The trees are difficult to grow, and the yield is small. That's the downside. On the upside, these olives pack a lot of flavor into their petite purple packages. This oil's unusual olive star creates an oil with flavors unlike any other on our shelves. It starts off buttery and soft, almost luscious. It grows into something bold and grassy, with notes of red pepper before finishing on the bitter end of the spectrum. One of the most complex extra virgin olive oils I've tasted.O-CLO 500 ml $35SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

beautiful BalAnceWhy we carry only one brand of balsamicThe 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 those from the Tintoris. 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 Ive 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 barrelboth 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 rangeto 16 year and 30 yearthe liquor thickens, the sweetness enhances, the carmelization takes you on a wild ride of flavor. It's fresh fruit season folks, this is the time to luxuriate with great balsamic.

Get some.

Txakoli White Wine VinegarThe Txakoli wine, itself hard to find outside Basque country, is rarely made into vinegar. The vinegar is as rare as the albino rhinoceros. It's made by Emilio Lunegas, a devoted Basque wine maker. He decided to develop a vinegar from the traditional wine and broaden the recognition of the Basque region. Working with top-quality Txakoli made primarily from Hondarribi Zuri white grapes, as well as a bit from its cousin, the equally obscure black Hondarribi Beltza, Sr. Luengas and his colleagues make only about 1,200 liters of the vinegar in a year. The flavor is light, lovely, lingering. Its not sweet, and theres an airiness to it that makes it refreshing. Its very nice on simple salads of most any sort. Exceptional with seafooddeglaze a pan after you saut fish in it. Try it everywhere a recipe asks for white wine vinegar and you'll be happy you did.V-ODV 500 ml $25SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

The house bread at our restaurant, Zingermans Roadhouse and a local favorite. Its based on an early New England recipe, made by com-bining rye flour and cornmeal with wheat. Anyone from an 18th century New Englander to Laura Ingalls Wilder would recognize and enjoy it today (its 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. Its got great crust and a soft, chewy center that has a slight sweetness from dark molasses, making it a hit with kids.

Id 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. Its totally terrific for toasting. We offer it in two sizes, a kilo loaf (about 1.65 lbs) thats good for munching and a 2 kilo (about 4 lbs, illustrated) work of art. I love the 2K loaf. A good foot and a half across and four or five inches high, its decorated with a hand-cut Z. The size is significant because bigger loaves almost always taste better. Baked to last, youll still be enjoying 2K Mountain Bread ten days after the loaf has left our oven. B-MON-A kilo handmade loaf $11B-MON-B 2 kilo handmade Z loaf $26SHIPS 2 BUSINESS DAY

jewish breadS, RYe & BeyondTraditional 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. Theyre the breads I reach for to make a sandwich or to eat with cool butter and fresh oysters. A perfect pairing with corned beef.

Softly spicy, fire-roasted New Mexico green chiles and raw milk Nor'easter Cabot cheddar blend-ed into the Bakehouses tangy Farm Bread. Great on its own or as an accompaniment to dinner.

Parmigiano-ReggianoNot all the wheels that bear the world famous Parmigiano-Reggiano name are created equal. There are big differences from one to the next. This cheese is made by a dairy nearly two thousand 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 milkand subsequently, your cheesehas more complex flavors. The wheels are aged for a minimum of two years (33% longer than the Consorzio minimum). Most important, the cheese has a really rich, wonderfully complex flavor with a lovely, long finish.

Cinnful Cinnamon Roll Gift BoxAlmost anyone can make a cinnamon roll smell good

while its baking, even among the cell phone kiosks at the mall. Unfortunately, most have little more than aroma to offer. You wont 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. Youll smell sweet butter, Indonesian cinnamon, real vanilla. But the real treat is next. Take one bite.

Thats all youll need to forget the litany of cinnamon roll disappointments life has dealt you. Ten cinnamon rolls baked

in a reusable metal tin with serving instructions. G-CIN wooden cheese crate gift box $40

italian sTyle frOm IowABorsellino SalamisLa Quercia's borsellino salami is soft, sweet, porky and even a little earthy. It's dry cured salami and needs no cooking, and, for that matter, refrigeration. Just slice and snack. 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. Slice and serve on a cheese plate or tossed chunks into pasta or salads. Throw one into your backpack the next time you head out for a hike. The piccante salami reminds me a bit of Spanish chorizosmoky and slightly spicy, but not at all hot. Like all their meats, La Quercia's salamis, made in Iowa, come from hogs raised naturally, without hormones or sub-therapeutic antibiotics.
