July 2025 Fundementals of Flavor Masterclass with Chef Steve Konopelski

On July 28th, Itaberco hosted an exclusive, Fundamentals of Flavor masterclass led by Chef Steve Konopelski.

The class was designed for chefs and soft serve pros looking to elevate their craft. Flavor isn’t just a taste—it’s a total experience shaped by smell, texture, temperature, and memory. In our Fundamentals of Flavor workshop, we broke down the five basic tastes, explored the science of perception, and demonstrated techniques to build and balance flavor in soft serve and beyond. From hands-on tasting stations to creative applications of flavor compounds, it was an immersive session full of insight and inspiration.

Topics Covered in the Fundamentals of Flavor Workshop:

  • Defining Flavor
     We started with a breakdown of flavor as both a taste and a concept—covering its role in culinary identity and creativity.

     

  • The Five Basic Tastes
     Attendees explored the function and balance of sweet, salty, sour, bitter, and umami—learning how to counter or complement each through real-world examples and product tasting.

     

  • Flavor Is Subjective
     We discussed how biology, smell, mouthfeel, temperature, and personal experience all shape the way we perceive flavor.

     

  • Flavor Experiments
     Attendees moved through tasting and smelling stations to test their sensory intuition—guessing, identifying, and reflecting on the flavors they experienced.
soft serve

Techniques to Impart Flavor

  • Infusion: We demonstrated hot steeping, cold steeping, and pressurized methods using soft serve bases.
  • Addition: We incorporated flavor through compounds, purees, fats, powders, and juices—showing how each affects the final product.
  • Inclusion: From sauces to toppings and garnishes, we explored how layering texture and flavor creates depth and visual appeal.

Working with Flavor Compounds

We reviewed how to use flavor compounds effectively—ideal ratios, timing for various applications, and how to enhance or contrast flavors with precision.

Creative Uses of Compounds

The class ended with fun, unexpected applications like flavored sugars, honeys, compound butters, and fruit tosses.

Live Q&A

We wrapped with a collaborative Q&A where attendees shared ideas, asked questions, and got specific tips from our team.

Summer Flavor Combo: Peanut Butter and Jelly Popsicles!

Peanut Butter & Jelly Popsicles: A Frozen Throwback!

Some combos just never go out of style—and PB&J is at the top of that list. But we’re taking this classic sandwich pairing in a refreshing new direction: popsicles. Creamy peanut butter and sweet berry swirls come together in a frozen treat that’s equal parts nostalgic and innovative.

Best of all? This recipe is completely plant-based—but flexible enough to be adapted with dairy if preferred. In this post, we’ll show you how to make them, share a few variations worth trying, and offer tips for customizing them with Itaberco ingredients. Scroll down for Chef’s Notes, Pro Tips, and product links below the video.

Ingredients:

• 1 bag (1000g) Itaberco Legacy 400 Sorbet Mix (for peanut butter layer)
• 2700g Oat milk
• 300g Itaberco Peanut Butter Flavor Compound
• 1 bag (1000g)  Itaberco Legacy 400 Sorbet Mix (for jelly layer)
• 1500g strawberry puree
• 1500g water
• 120g Itaberco Strawberry Flavor Compound

To Prepare the Peanut Butter Layer:

1 – In a mixing container, combine one full bag of Legacy 400 Sorbet Mix with 2700g of oat milk and 300g Peanut Butter Flavor Compound. Blend until fully incorporated and smooth.

2 – Insert Popsicle Sticks in molds, Pour into popsicle molds, filling each one halfway. Place in the freezer just long enough to set the layer—firm, but not frozen solid.

Prepare the Strawberry Layer:

1 – In a separate container, combine the second bag of Legacy 400 Sorbet Mix
with 1500g of strawberry puree, 1500g of water, and 120g Strawberry Flavor Compound. Mix thoroughly.

2 – Pour gently on top of the peanut butter layer in each mold, filling to the top.

3 – Freeze until fully set—ideally overnight for the best texture and clean separation of layers.

4 – Unmold and serve as-is, (or dip in melted chocolate and crushed peanuts for a decadent upgrade!)

5 – Serve & Enjoy
