After graduating from Coral Springs High School in 1986, Aldo Disorbo started doing local moves for a year in his beloved truck affectionately called “Old Betsy.” Wisely, Aldo Disorbo used this introduction to the industry as an avenue to pick up critical tools needed for success. However, after a year of tutelage, Aldo Disorbo knew that it was time to take his budding interest to the next level.

1. Italian Essentials | Aldo Disorbo
All great chefs know that a good meal is dependent upon the ingredients. Here, Italian-
American Businessman Aldo Disorbo explains staples for Italian cooking.
Olive Oil
Olive oil is the most common oil in Italian cooking, notes Aldo Disorbo. This medium dark
cooking oil may be used to sauté at low temperatures or as replacement for butter. Aldo
Disorbo further explains that olive oil may be used as a dressing for salads or sandwiches. Extra-
virgin olive oil is best and contains a high level of polyphenols – which Aldo Disorbo notes are
antioxidants – which promote heart health.
Tomatoes
Tomatoes, like olive oil, contain antioxidants that help protect the heart. Aldo Disorbo says
tomatoes may be left uncooked as an edible flare of color, added to salads, or transformed into
countless Italian red sauces. And, Aldo Disorbo affirms an added benefit is that tomatoes
contain vitamin C and lycopene.
Garlic
Aldo Disorbo knows the pungent smell of garlic anywhere. He says this onion-like root is the
backbone of many popular Italian dishes. Garlic, denotes Aldo Disorbo, is another ingredient
known to have extreme health benefits. Crushed garlic releases sulfides which have anticancer
characteristics. Aside from its addition to a healthy diet, Aldo Disorbo says garlic adds a new
dimension of flavor to virtually any dish from breakfast to dinner.
Seafood
As an enthusiastic fisherman, Aldo Disorbo says there’s nothing quite like catching his own
seafood to pair with homemade pasta. Italian cuisine utilizes all types of ocean fish – especially
shellfish. According to Aldo Disorbo, seafood is rich in protein and selenium. Even in small
amounts, shrimp and/or scallops are a flavorful additive to most dishes.
Whole Grains
Aldo Disorbo says a traditional Italian meal would include some form of whole grain starch. This
could be couscous, barley, whole-grain bread, or whole wheat pasta. As both a cook and
connoisseur of fine foods, Aldo Disorbo says whole-grain pasta offers a texture that refined
noodles can’t. And, keeping with the idea of healthy foods, Aldo Disorbo explains that a diet
including whole grains may help the body protect itself against many chronic diseases, such as
diabetes and heart disease.
2. Dark Leafy Greens
Despite the wide-spread insistence that greens are little more than grass-flavored garnishment,
Aldo Disorbo insists that vegetables including broccoli and arugula are essential in Italian
cooking. Aldo Disorbo reports that these super foods, like many other Italian ingredients,
contain antioxidants but also provide numerous primary vitamins. Greens may be eaten as a
salad drizzled with olive oil or as an appetizer served with mozzarella or other Italian cheeses.
