Nueske’s Bacon on special at Zingerman’s Mail Order
Applewood Smoked Bacon, our house bacon for more than two decades, is on sale for just one more week at Mail Order. Don’t miss it!
The Nueske family started smoking bacon in Hillcrest, Wisconsin, about 100 years before we started serving sandwiches in 1982. Like many of the long-lived family companies we buy from, their passion hasn’t seemed to wane in over a century. “I eat bacon so much,” says Tanya Nueske, granddaughter of the founder. “In our family we put bacon on everything.” When you taste this stuff you’ll probably do the same. There’s a reason this is our top seller. It is perfectly balanced between softly, pleasantly sweet and salty/smoky. If I were to choose one bacon to eat every day, which pretty much sounds like heaven, this would be it. Sale ends March 31st!

March Roaster’s Pick at Zingerman’s Coffee Company
This month we’re featuring Zambia Kaleya Valley, a Zambian that comes from the Terranova Estate, which is almost 80 years old and has been producing coffee since 1984. The cool altitude and geography are excellent for growing coffee. Colin and Alison Street, along with their eldest son Greg, who manages the farm, have actively supported the local community. This includes an on-site school.
The Terranova School is fully financed by the Streets and boasts 250 students. Each year the Streets add a classroom and a teacher, so the school continues to grow and offer higher levels of education. This school is situated on the farm itself and the farm laborers’ children get the first option at attending, then it is open to the district. In addition, 25% of the farm has been fenced off and maintained as indigenous area.
Sadly, this will be the last year we are able to get this coffee. Economics have forced the Streets to pull out the coffee crop and plant wheat. As a cup of coffee, the Kaleya Valley Zambian has super rich and earthy body with flavors of a ripe Bosc pear and a pleasant dry walnut-like finish. We like it in a press pot. Also available for shipping through Zingerman’s Mail Order.
And don’t forget the Zingerman’s Coffee Brewing Methods class this coming Sunday, March 9, 1pm-3pm. Learn the keys to successful coffee brewing using a wide variety of brewing methods from filter drip to syphon pot. We will take a single coffee and brew it 6 to 8 different ways, each producing a unique taste. We’ll learn the proper proportions and technique for each and discuss the merits and differences of each style.
Cheese of the Month at Zingerman’s Creamery
March is the perfect month to try our Great Lakes Cheshire!
Made with raw cow’s milk, 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 a small mixed-herd of cows. The cheese sports a natural rind that envelops a supple, slightly crumbly paste with a full and accessible flavor. Also available at Zingerman’s Deli. Stop in for a taste!

Chocolate dipped figs at Zingerman’s Mail Order
