commentary
with JEREMY WHITE
What's Your Favorite Ingredient?
I'M OFTEN ASKED ABOUT MY FAVORITE
PIZZERIA, MY FAVORITE PIZZA STYLE, MY
FAVORITE TOPPING COMBINATIONS, etc.
But I'm rarely asked about my favorite ingredient.
And by favorite ingredient, I mean that one thing
that's so deliciously tempting to your own personal
taste buds and that's so versatile that you can utilize
it in a number of ways, ranging from salads to apps
to pizzas to desserts.
I'd imagine that many people, in a pizzeria setting,
would offer up some sort of cheese when asked this
question. And I'll tell you this much: I'm seriously in
love with burrata! But, having said that, my own personal favorite ingredient has to be balsamic vinegar.
Its intense flavor and extreme versatility has never let
me down.
On a trip to Modena, Italy, a few years ago I had
the opportunity to get a closer look at the process of
turning grapes into "aceto balsamico." Really cool. I'll
never forget the glorious smell that captured my
attention as I walked into the barn where the barrels
of must were fermenting. I was hooked.
Depending on the age and quality of the balsamic,
I like to use it on strawberries, vanilla ice cream (one
drop of the really good stuff is all it takes), salads (particulary Caprese) and pizza. One of my favorite uses

for it is on a "white pie" with prosciutto, figs, Gorgonzola and Parmesan. In fact, Parmesan and balsamic
vinegar are a match made in heaven.
For a quick look at aceto balsamico and some great
ways to use it in your pizzeria, check out my article on
page 40.
But, enough about my personal preferences. What's
your favorite ingredient and why? Drop me a line and
let me know.
LASTLY: I'd like to offer a huge congratulations to
Jay Jerrier and his entire staff of Cane Rosso in Dallas,
Texas. As our beautiful cover indicates, Cane Rosso is
our newest Independent of the Year. Why'd we choose
them? Read Mandy Detwiler's article on page 52 to
find out.
Best,
