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 30) to enter. One winner will be chosen at random from among the commenters. 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).

cheese is such a wonderful thing its hard to have a "favorite", but there is one that sticks out for its multiple purposes... Beecher's Flagship.
rickster at 12:23PM on 12/29/07
Manchego, pecorino or Stilton - depending on the day!
HunterAnglerGardenerCook at 12:26PM on 12/29/07
I think... a good chevre. Or something I've never heard of recommended by the cheese counter guys at Fairway.
oneperfectegg at 12:27PM on 12/29/07
My favorite is a blue cheese like Stilton - nice and tangy.
Sharon at 12:32PM on 12/29/07
Chevre, gorgonzola, and Humboldt Fog.
Btw, my total NON-foodie friend just casually emailed to say "My boss sent me this nice gift box of fresh bakery breads (complete with freezing and reheating instructions)." So of course I had to ask where it was from. Turns out it's...ZINGERMANS! Needless to say, this is completely unfair. This is a guy who still eats ham and cheese on Wonder bread (at his desk) for lunch. He's in his 40s. And now he's got ZINGERMANS in his house!! Snif...

My favorite cheese is Cypress Grove's Humboldt Fog. It's a great goat cheese with a line if blue gray ash running through the center, with a creaminess towards the rind. Although I primarily eat it with a baguette, I did have it in an amazing dessert at the late Hawthorne lane restaurant in San Francisco -- they used it for a cheesecake. delish.

The best is sharp cheddar, in all configurations and from most any cheese maker. Shredded on burritos or just eaten by itself, can't be beat.
JonsDad at 3:24PM on 12/29/07
My favorite cheese varies from week to week, sometimes day to day.
For the most part though, I'm usually very happy with a gorgonzola dolce at the correct stage of ripeness.

Boucheron, a lovely semi-ripened French goat cheese. It's all oozy and camembert-like around the outside of the small wheels, and all tart and chevre-like deep inside. Heaven when warmed by crusty toast.

My favorite cheese is fresh mozzerella on a salad.
All summer I made salads with mozzerella and lettuce and strawberries and cucumbers and blueberries, sliced almonds, cranberries and radishes.
You can use so much with fresh mozzerella.
Not one person didn't love my salad.
I used either strawberry dressing or any dressing with it.
It is to die for.

My very favorite cheese ever is Swiss Cheese because Swiss Cheese has holes in it, so all the calories fall out of the holes. Also, if you don't want to eat it, Swiss Cheese is useful as a dream catcher. But, eating Swiss Cheese is the best flavor!

Since I am from Oregon I will have to say honestly I love Oregon Blue Cheese and Tillamook extra sharp aged cheddar. Combine with some great Oregon pears and hazelnuts and life is GREAT.

Brillat-Savarin, though that's really more like eating butter than cheese.
