Andante Dairy’s Etude Cheese
One of our new favorite American cheeses comes from Andante Dairy in Santa Rosa, California. Etude is a hard goat’s milk cheese carefully aged about 6 months for a fine, not too dry texture and a balanced sweet and milky flavor. |

Andante Dairy’s Charolais Cheese
A Zingerman’s exclusive! We’ve been working with Andante Dairy to create a soft goat cheese from raw milk that’s reminiscent of the compact and flinty Burgundian goat cheeses we love so well. Clean goat-y flavor with a long finish. |

Andante Dairy’s Picolo Cheese
A special version of Andante Dairy’s most established cheese, made just for us! This is a soft triple cream cheese made with goat’s milk, jersey cow’s milk, and Kendall Farm’s Crème Fraiche. Absolutely delightful! |

All Natural Fabrique Delices Pates & Mousses
The most traditionally-made and flavorful line of pates we’ve tasted in U.S., from Hayward, California, using only antibiotic & hormone free meat, without preservatives, artificial ingredients or nitrites. Excellent with cornichons and Dijon mustard on Zingerman’s Bakehouse Breads! |

Fabrique Delices Duck Salami
A new product at the Deli! This rich, flavorful French style duck salami has an excellent well-seasoned but still balanced flavor and a pleasantly moist texture. Slice some up as a snack, or as part of an antipasto platter. |

Gravenstein Apple Cider Vinegar
Albert & Kim Katz used Gravenstein apples from Sonoma Valley, CA, which are experiencing a revival thanks to the Slow Food designation as a ‘heritage’ food, to create this cider vinegar with an elegant balance of tart and sweet flavors. Ideal for using with any pork dish, coleslaw, braised cabbage, waldorf salad or a simple vinaigrette. |
Hello!
If you are featuring the best of California, then you have to feature the organic pork made by Llano Seco Rancho in Chico, CA! I am an enthusiastic devotee of their bacon and I read in the SF Chronicle that you wrote the “bacon bible” as a friend of mine put it. The Llano Seco bacon is truly the BEST bacon you will ever taste.
The best part of this whole company for me is that they treat their animals so well.
But first of all this ranch is unbelievable–149-year old historic ranch–last intact Mexican land grant in California:

They have started a program to humanely raise organic hogs, and not just any hogs–it’s some kind of breed of hog that is a little fatter and very juicy, marbled and out of this world flavor.
I am going to send you some bacon. Please tell me who to send it to and where to send it. I will send two packs. I want you to try it and to taste all their products! I love them and they are so good to their animals, that’s the best part for me aside from the flavor!
I thank you for letting me comment here.
