Seriously Delicious Giveaway: Zingerman's Gift Certificate
I don't know about you, but this time of year my mailbox is full of food catalogs offering me food I don't really want. There are a few exceptions, of course, and Zingerman's is certainly one of them. The Zingerman's Catalogue is full of honest food, delicious things that the company makes, or stuff that Zingerman's partners Ari Weinzweig and Mo Frechette have discovered in their far-flung travels.
Stuff they make includes terrific bread, baked goods, and cheese. Carefully chosen olive oils, condiments, vinegars, and various sausages, the stuff of many a serious eater's dream, come from small artisanal producers all over the world. So today's Seriously Delicious Holiday giveaway, a $50 Zingerman's Catalogue gift certificate, is something every serious eater will covet.
To win this passport to delicious food from around the world and from Ann Arbor, Michigan, just leave a comment on this post telling us what your favorite cheese is.
You have until noon ET tomorrow (December 25) to enter. One winner will be chosen at random from among the commenters—if not on December 25 (as we'll be off tomorrow), then on December 26. The standard Serious Eats contest rules apply. Contest winners are limited to residents of the continental U.S.
If you don't win, here's a secret code to get 10 percent off any food you buy at Zingerman's Mail Order by December 31, 2007. Enter 27PC1203 when you check out online or ring them at 888-636-8162. The nice folks there will give you 10 percent off all the food (offer doesn't include shipping, gift certificates, or already-discounted items).

Chevre, though I admit to occasional sheep milk feta obsessions.
I don't consider buffalo mozzarella cheese. I think it's a holy substance from the gods.
KarynMC at 12:44PM on 12/24/07
I've never met a cheese I didn't love. But I think fresh mozzarella is my favorite.

I'm pretty un-sofistikated when it comes to cheese. Provolone, cheddar, jack, moz - all are fine by me. No American, please.

I love Gruyère - I've had a dish called Belgian hangover pasta; it has this cheese, thick spaghetti, ham, and a fried egg...breakfast perfection.
fatitalianbroad at 1:05PM on 12/24/07
My favourite is definitely a nice creamy gorgonzola. Cheese lover that I am, I had never had it until last year, and somehow had entirely the wrong idea what it was. Then someone brought it to a wine tasting and I was hooked!
sarahdlr at 1:07PM on 12/24/07

I love most cheeses. My favorite day-to-day cheese is Monterey jack. In salads, I like goat cheese, feta, blue cheese, or even gorgonzola. Gruyere on top of onion soup.
poulet at 1:19PM on 12/24/07
Gorgonzola, Piave, Humboldt Fog, chevre...tough to pick just one!
Curlz at 1:21PM on 12/24/07
Buffalo mozzarella with tomatoes, basil and a drizzle of oil & vinegar. Maybe a dash of spices.

Pepperjack cheese is the best, but none of these wimpy peppers. Habanero Jack wins hands down.

My favorite cheese is Saint Nectaire. It is a stinky cheese that tastes like hazelnut and mushrooms. It is only available for a short time. I wait with bated breath each year for the new batch to arrive.

I only get one - that's not fair. OK - MOssholder's Brick Cheese from appleton, wisconsin. However, I also love a good Huntsman with the Stilton stripes. I'm baking brie inside puff pastry with homemade apply butter for Xmas and Jarlsburg (sp?) swiss rocks.
Damn, I'm hungry. What's in the freakin' fridge?

Gorgonzola is divine and so versatile for cooking. Today I had a garlic pepper havarti from a micro maker selling at the farmers market; so much flavor. From another micro seller I have a garlic and dill fromage I've been spreading on spinach wraps with hummus, veggies and nuts for roll-up sandwiches. But I guess if I had to pick one I'd have to revert back to my childhood and go with fresh curds. Yum!
