PrintSeriously 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 (Tuesday, December 4) 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).

I like a really sharp cheddar.
Maybe Maytag Blue (a little local love for the blue from Newton, IA), but that's mostly in/on stuff.
I don't know boo about cheese either, so someone teach me.
corycm at 2:10PM on 12/03/07
For childhood nostalgia: muenster.
I love Piave, gorgonzola, goat cheeses (chevre and the drunken goat), most blues (with a good piece of pear or apple, of course), and...and...please don't make me pick ONE!
Curlz at 2:12PM on 12/03/07
morbier, mimolette, grana padano, aged gouda, goat cheese, gruyere and stilton.

ewturner at 2:24PM on 12/03/07
Well, if you're going to make me pick just one, I'll say fresh mozzarella di bufala. But now all the other cheeses are jealous, which means I'm going to have to eat them tonight so that they don't stay mad at me.
charm city cupcake at 2:25PM on 12/03/07
Fresh mozarella, made that day.

I love this local cheddar sold at our natural foods store, it's an aged Cheddar shot through with streaks of Guinness. Yummy! I also love some good old string cheese!
elderberry44 at 2:28PM on 12/03/07
I love aged or smoked cheddar, and good Brie.
My boyfriend should really be dating Roaring Forties Blue Cheese from New Zealand, he loves it so much.
lo82070 at 2:29PM on 12/03/07
I only get to pick one?
I'm torn between a nice, sharp NY State cheddar, and a pungent, soft blue cheese.

Sigh.

Taleggio
karen r at 2:30PM on 12/03/07
This is like choosing between my children. But if I had to narrow it down, my absolute favorite is a nice English Stilton. On a Carr's whole wheat cracker. My other loves include buffalo mozzarella and that lovely tart goat cheese. Yum.
sdaisy11 at 2:30PM on 12/03/07
I loves the cheddar...in the form of cheese curds. There is nothing like biting into a nice fresh, squeaky cheese curd....or one that is deep fried!
altopower at 2:31PM on 12/03/07
Tillamook Vintage White Cheddar.

Muenster, for the simple fact that no sandwich is complete without it.
dewayne at 2:34PM on 12/03/07
Piper's Pyramide Surface-Ripened Chevre, from Capriole, is one of my favorites.
amusingcalliope at 2:34PM on 12/03/07
Sharp cheddar.
bobbob at 2:34PM on 12/03/07
Love all the contests you guys are having - especially this one! Favorite cheese: toss up between havarti, smoked gouda, and gruyere. I also enjoy sharp cheddar.
Thanks!

smoked mozerella from Maple Grove Farms.

Mozzarella di buffala
bytemyfoot at 2:40PM on 12/03/07
To quote Wallace (Gromit's owner): "I love a bit of Gorgonzola!" One of the best burger cheeses. Yum! I also love Mozzarella!
A new one that we were introduced to this year was Humboldt Fog. A lovely "summer concert in the park wine and cheese" cheese.
pmagnus at 2:40PM on 12/03/07
I'm liking Parrano these days.

My absolute favorite would have to be muenster as well...it makes a mean grilled cheese!

fresh mozzarella

Fresh Mozzarella.
trishharvey at 2:50PM on 12/03/07
To bring this full circle, Zingerman's has a salad on their menu (I looked, it's the Cyprus Salad) with grilled halloumi. It's totally perfect, and more importantly, the cheese is totally perfect. It's all I used to eat there when I lived in Ann Arbor.
annelg at 2:51PM on 12/03/07
There are too many to really choose one favorite cheese. Is it monterey jack in a quesadilla with sausage and carmelized onion? Is it the sharp cheddar or the gruyere in the mac and cheese? Feta crumbled with spinach and herbs on top of baked pieces of pita? Gorgonzola clinging to a tortelloni? Brie smothered in peach marmade and wrapped in golden puff pastry?
C'mon, you can't make me choose. But I'll try to play along...
I do know my favorite cheese memory is taking a bus from Amsterdam out to Edam. Yes, Edam-eaters, it really comes from Edam. I walked around town all afternoon, stopping in a pub/restaurant for a simple, delicious ham and edam sandwich on local bread with a 33dl beer to wash it down; browsing a small grocery for some cheese and some spicy local mustard; strolling along the canals in town and watching ducks take their stroll with me. YUM!

Ditto on Humboldt Fog.
jl9802 at 2:55PM on 12/03/07
Oooooh, such a tough choice. Some crumbled tangy Oregonzola, spicy Chipolte Curds from Beecher's, or a smoosh of decadent Délice de Bourgogne. Did I mention Tillamook vintage White Cheddar? Or Port Madison chèvre? Or... sorry, must go eat cheese now.
sallyforth at 2:56PM on 12/03/07
i have to give just one? if i have to it has to be our local family dairy/ farmstead cheese company. pedrozo dairy and their wonderful tipsy cow.
if you don't know about these people you should

Gorgonzola
Michelle Jones at 2:56PM on 12/03/07
Wow, this is really hard. If I HAD to say... I think I have to go with my new favorite cheese (and very hard to find), a raw goat's cheese called Cone de Port Aubry. It's absolutely incredible. I'm also always in the mood for a nice Aged Appenzeller, so it's between those two.
Runners up: Burrata is always nice, though more of a summer cheese. Also can't go wrong with a nice Aged Gouda, it's a classic.
ShikaSfrn at 2:57PM on 12/03/07
Black Diamond Platinum Reserve Cheddar cheese
FoodBully at 2:59PM on 12/03/07
Cheese is my all-time favorite food, so this is a difficult question. I'd have to go with Brillat-Savarin, with Montagnolo as a close second.
purpleceline at 2:59PM on 12/03/07
Brie, not so much for the flavor, but for the memories of eating it as a kid.

Morbier, a nice fresh mozzarella, Vacherin Fribourgeois, Livarot
lisapeet at 3:05PM on 12/03/07
I have to narrow it down to ONE? I love a good homemade buffalo mozzarella and manchego. And of course I love a little pasta with my parmesan-reggiano.
sjpober at 3:06PM on 12/03/07
Lightly fried goat cheese!!!!!
malpal at 3:10PM on 12/03/07
Oh gosh....Havarti simply because it plays well with others, but it also delicious by itself.
jd7979 at 3:10PM on 12/03/07
Anything soft, oozy, and creamy. St. Andre Brie!
jboylee at 3:10PM on 12/03/07
Must I pick just one? I always have Parm-Reg in my fridge, and its versatility is unmatched. But for indulgence I love all the bleu cheese varieties and brie.
Jeana at 3:11PM on 12/03/07
a gooey La Tour

My local cheesemonger sometimes has this cheddar with veins of porter which has actually made me dance in place in public when he has it in stock....

Pecorino Fresco Verde- tasty herb coated pecorino from the Busti family is SO good!

painterjane at 3:15PM on 12/03/07
English Stilton. Or anything I haven't tried previously. I do like to explore.

So hard to pick just one. Gouda (the oldest) from That Dutchman's Farm in Upper Economy, Nova Scotia. The last time we were in Nova Scotia, we took a 200-mile side trip to get some of this cheese.
PattiA at 3:16PM on 12/03/07
Hmm, this is tough but I guess I would have to say sharp cheddar and really fresh ricotta

Gouda and Parmigiano-Reggiano
rugbyspartan at 3:20PM on 12/03/07
Spanish Manchego, preferably served in a bocadillo with some high-quality jamón serrano.
danwalk at 3:21PM on 12/03/07
Believe it not, I learned to like cheese only about two years ago (my midwest friends nearly disowned me when they found out)-- but now? Well, I almost can't go a day without it! Now, I'm not yet into the moldy, stinky stuff-- that might take a few decades. But I have found that I really love a good Piave. It's all about the butterscotchiness.
weisslikesrice at 3:22PM on 12/03/07

Oh god, I can't believe I forgot to include La Tur. It never lets me down.
This is question is just too hard!
ShikaSfrn at 3:32PM on 12/03/07
My newest favorite is Dubliner cheese. DIVINE!
pupilindenial at 3:32PM on 12/03/07
I'm always picking up new cheeses when I shop at my local Whole Foods, but I keep going back to the old standards: Parmigiano-Reggiano (the real stuff), really sharp, well-aged cheddar, and aged gouda. What can I say--I like my cheese to bite back. :)
msmla at 3:32PM on 12/03/07
Morbier.
Scotty at 3:34PM on 12/03/07
Depends on what I'm using it for - various dishes use different cheeses. For eating by itself however, I usually like some sort of strong, mold or bacteria ripened cheese.
Nicholas H at 3:34PM on 12/03/07
Hard to pick just one, but a nice aged Parmigiano-Reggiano is hard to beat! Oooh, but I do like Manchego, too...
LA_Eater at 3:34PM on 12/03/07
I love Parmagiana Reggiano, Brie from the oven melted, manchego stuffed dates.

boolo at 3:58PM on 12/03/07
When I spent a semester in Florence last year I discovered a tiny panini shop near Piazza Santo Spirito called Gustapanino. They had a smoked cheese there that i fell in love with called Scamorza. It has a nuttier flavor and firmer texture than smoked Mozzarella, and it goes well on all types of sandwiches and melts amazingly. I've been able to find it in a couple specialty shops in NYC like Agata and Valentina, but nothing compares to the authentic!
DanielJ at 3:58PM on 12/03/07
I like all sorts of blue, but Red Leicester is my favorite all-around

Mozzarella di buffala - or Burrata....but Fresh Fresh Fresh!
AliKat at 4:19PM on 12/03/07
It's a toss up between Muenster, Manchego, and a really sharp cheddar. I recently had goat cheese with Greek Olives mixed in that was outstanding.
Shels01 at 4:22PM on 12/03/07
I ADORE Teleme cheese - It's a California cheese - soft, edible bloomy rind, ultra creamy, mild interior. So soft you can scoop it up with a spoon.
gregsmom at 4:25PM on 12/03/07
Nothing like a manchego curado.
annerska at 4:26PM on 12/03/07

A good parmiggiano is a must to have on hand, but maybe latteria if I could pick any cheese.

I am a big fan of all types of blue.
Catherine at 4:29PM on 12/03/07
A sharp cheddar with Jalapeno. But no cheese is required at all for Zingerman's chocolate bread or the pecan raisin.
Stewdude at 4:34PM on 12/03/07

Choosing a favorite cheese is like choosing a favorite child. But if I must, I'll go with manchego.

Cambozola and similiar blue-streaked brie-like creamy cheeses like Blue Castello. (for sandwiches, fresh sliced swiss and muenster)

what an unfair question! i think it would have to be a sharp, almost pungent white cheddar. gruyere, fresh mozzarella di bufala, or a good danish blue all come in close behind.

Favorite cheese is 4% cottage...I'm rather easy to please :)
JEP at 5:29PM on 12/03/07
Aged gruyere (3 months) or maybe Cana de Oveja. This is a tough choice!

A nice soft pungent bleu cheese with crispy apple slices!

English farmhouse cheddar.
violette at 5:41PM on 12/03/07
Any kind of aged cheddar.
And I miss Zingerman's. Lived in Ann Arbor for 7 years, now in w. Mass. Zabar's (my hometown deli) is a lot closer.

An Irish cheddar, like Dubliner.
Chagrined at 6:24PM on 12/03/07
it changes weekly, but my new favorite is chaubier.
mightypow at 6:27PM on 12/03/07
Impossible question! Not only is it constantly changing, I need to taste hundreds more before I can truly answer. For now, I'll say goat cheeses are my favorite.

English Stilton.

Pleasent Ridge Reserve from Uplands Cheese in Wisconsin
jasmall at 6:50PM on 12/03/07
As of late, I have been really into Piave.
FoodBoy at 6:51PM on 12/03/07
Lately, Manchego. And that means a lot, since I'm from Wisconsin and we have SOOOO many great cheeses here.
Nezrite at 6:52PM on 12/03/07
I love Comte...ideally aged so that the sweet nutty flavor can develop. Amazing.
Sharon_G at 6:57PM on 12/03/07
Manchego
linda at 6:57PM on 12/03/07
Brie- not the most exciting, but always good
winkyj at 6:59PM on 12/03/07
A tie between cheddar from Neal's Yard and parmesan from an italian market
schopie1 at 7:04PM on 12/03/07
Depends on the occasion & the accompaniments -- in the abstract, a really, really good Brie.

Kalathaki from Limnos Greece
Laurie Constantino at 7:14PM on 12/03/07
havarti, brie, english cheddar and cacciocavollo...sorry, couldn't pick just one!
brooke29 at 7:14PM on 12/03/07
mozarella. I love zingerman's!
gidget at 7:15PM on 12/03/07
How to choose? I love aged , blue, Spanish goat cheeses . . . .

It is, of course, painfully ridiculous to try to single out one cheese as a consistent favorite... but it is hard to beat stracchino with a fistful of rustic bread.
Dogstar at 7:17PM on 12/03/07
Ricotta
0bs01337 at 7:19PM on 12/03/07
Warmed Brie... served with thinly sliced toasted french bread, apricot preserves and a head of roast garlic. Yum!
debralu at 7:19PM on 12/03/07
Chevre. Actually, anything with a strong tang or funk.
einscheusal at 7:23PM on 12/03/07
So hard to choose just one. But I will go with Smoked Edam.
matriarchy at 7:24PM on 12/03/07
The stinkier the better, but right now I'm really into Roquefort.
