What is Zingerman's? It's a family of food businesses based in Ann Arbor, Michigan that includes a deli, restaurant, bakehouse, creamery, and a mail-order/online catalog. I have known the good folks at Zingerman's for almost ten years now. Every member of the Zingerman's family is a source for seriously delicious food. Ever since Serious Eats launched we have wanted to find the right food catalog partner.
Why? So that when we discover something seriously delicious other serious eaters could get their hands on it no matter where they live.
I have eaten with Zingerman's co-founders Ari Weinzweig and Paul Saginaw in
Ann Arbor, New York, Memphis, and Oxford, Mississippi, among other places. Ari
and Zingerman's catalog honcho Mo Frechette, who spend a good chunk of the year searching out new food artisans and their products, are incredibly passionate, discerning, and inclusive food explorers. I trust their taste and judgment in food and people. The Zingerman's folks in general are stand-up people who have dedicated their lives to helping all of us find the good stuff to eat, drink, and cook with. In short they are like us, serious eaters of the first order.
Beginning right now we'll be featuring our favorite edibles sold by Zingerman's. One thing serious eaters should know is that before we feature anything from Zingerman's on Serious Eats, we pay for and taste it to make sure the food lives up to our standards and yours.
When you place an order with Zingerman's via Serious Eats, we'll earn a small commission. You will never pay more for the privilege of ordering Zingerman's goods via Serious Eats, and in some cases you will pay less. If for some reason any serious eater is unhappy with their Zingerman's order, Zingerman's will do whatever it takes to make it right. We are confident this arrangement will allow the Serious Eats community to access even more seriously delicious food on a moment's (or maybe a day's) notice.

Semi-Dried Cherry Tomatoes from Sicily I couldn't believe how much intense, sweet tomatoey taste was packed into this jar of sun-dried, roasted cherry tomatoes. These little suckers will elevate any sandwich or salad.
Zingerman's Creamery Cream Cheese There's all the other cream cheese you can buy, and then there's Zingerman's housemade cream cheese, which actually tastes like cream. This is cream cheese with character and soul.
Chocolate Cherry Bread Spread some of your favorite unsweetened peanut butter on Zingerman's chocolate cherry bread and be prepared to swoon with delight. Or, make the world's best French toast with it.
