At Itaberco, every flavor narrates a story. Each product is a testament to our mission of creating meaningful relationships and valuable solutions for desserts and beverages by providing high-quality, shelf-stable flavors and premixes. Join us on our journey and discover the Itaberco difference – where quality, passion, and innovation unite to produce something truly exceptional.
Our roots trace back to the Alps of northern Italy, where Boris found inspiration from the gelato industry movement and his love for mountaineering. Over the following decade, Boris played a pivotal role in launching over 200 gelaterias across Europe.
The Ghazarian family’s American Dream began with the inauguration of their first gelateria and café in Annapolis, MD. The fervor for artisanal Italian gelato quickly spread across the US.
Boris and Berj Ghazarian established Itaberco’s headquarters and manufacturing facility in Baltimore, Maryland, which became our home for the next decade.
Recognizing an opportunity to offer superior products for the specialty beverage industry, particularly frozen and batch cocktails, Itaberco launched Blackbird.
Itaberco acquired and constructed its new, cutting-edge headquarters and manufacturing facility in Stevensville, MD. This facility positions us for sustained growth in the years ahead.
Itaberco remains dedicated to achieving its vision of leading the way in artisan flavors and premixes for the specialty dessert and beverage industry. We welcome you to be part of the upcoming chapter of our journey.
