Think fresh, fun and flavorful — Purple Haze. Fresh goat’s milk cheese from our friends at Cypress Grove in Humboldt County, California is blended with lavender and fennel pollen for an unexpected treat.

No tour of California artisanal cheese would be complete without Andante Dairy. Cavatina is one of our favorites from the talented hands of Soyoung Scanlan. Fresh goat’s milk is gently formed and rolled in vegetable ash.

Happy Holsteins make happy cheese. Point Reyes Blue is a great example. Organic cow’s milk is procured from the lush grasses that cover the rolling hills overlooking Tamales Bay.

All Natural Fabrique Delices Pates & Mousses

The most traditionally made and flavorful line of pates we’ve tasted in U.S. using only antibiotic & hormone free meat, without preservatives, artificial ingredients or nitrites. Excellent with cornichons and Dijon mustard on Zingerman’s Bakehouse Breads!

Traditionally from the Northern city of Bilbao in Spain, this tasty, garlicky, spicy chorizo is the best version made domestically we have found. Produced by La Espanola Meats in California, think of this as not your one-trick-pony sausage, but use it in stews, rice dishes or even for breakfast. A simply and fast way to add some savory heat to your cold February day.

Joeli’s robust Pasolivo blend is a Deli favorite- if you like your flavors bold and your coffee black, this is a must try! New to her lineup in the pink tin is a citrus blend of tangerine, lime and lemon crushed with the olives. It makes a fantastic balsamic vinaigrette, a spicy fruit salad, and a rich olive oil cake…let your imagination run wild!

Good for your heart in more ways than one! $4.00 from the sale of each bottle of Owens Creek Olive Oil goes directly to fund research in preventing heart disease conducted at the University of Michigan Cardiovascular Center. But, don’t just buy this oil because it is a good cause. It also tastes great and is made right. Sicilian varietals of olives give it a complex, peppery bite that is an instant hit- it’s a crowd pleaser.

‘AgroDolce’ in Italian translates to ‘sweet and sour,’ which is exactly what the Katz family was aiming for with this garnet colored wine vinegar. Jammy plum and fresh berry overtones give way to a pleasant, crisp finish. Use it on fresh greens, or make a sweet & sour gastrique by reducing it with honey or jam.

From Monterey Farms, situated in the epicenter of artichoke growing in the US, if not, the world. Four dedicated people minimally process and carefully pack our shipments which our made just for us. These succulent artichokes may be the best secret in our case — not for long.

Made with raw Dutch-Belted cow’s milk sourced from Andy Schneider’s family dairy in Westphalia, MI, this is our first-ever hard cheese! The Great Lakes Cheshire is a very old recipe that John learned from a Welsh cheese-maker 25 years ago. It is a quick-ripening variant that is perfect for the extremely rich milk we get from Andy Schneider’s herd of Dutch-Belted cows. The cheese sports a natural rind that envelops a supple, slightly crumbly paste with a full and accessible flavor.

This sandwich is our tribute to friend of Zingerman’s, William Calder. If that name sounds familiar, it may be because the company he founded, Calder Dairy, produces our “house milk,” the heart of all coffee drinks of the Next Door. Family owned (their cows have names rather than numbers!) Calder Dairy is celebrating their 66th birthday this month. Their premium products boost every recipe we use them in, right down to a small side of their sour cream with our potato latkes.

The Deli isn’t alone in our craze over Calder! Zingerman’s Creamery’s award winning cream cheese proudly features the Dairy’s non-homogenized milk. We join velvety scallion cream cheese with corned beef, Bill’s deli meat of choice. We add some crunchy lettuce, a shake of tellicherry black pepper and layer it all on toasted caraway rye.
So sit down with this sandwich, grab a large glass of their amazing chocolate milk, and join us in a toast to Calder for all of the TLC they’ve shown their cows, their products, and their community.

This lovely East African Coffee was immediately a stand out on the cupping table. Our first cupping notes were “white grapefruit! Juicy, creamy, orange zest!” On cooling, the coffee had a complex fruit finish with notes of peach. The big, bright fruit flavors are perfectly balanced by the equally rich and creamy body. It’s a great example of the unique character of East African coffees. This coffee is grown at 1,845 meters in the Nyamasheke District of western Rwanda.
