WHAT TOPICS DOES SEMINAR 108 COVER
Two days of a hands-on personalized educational experience that is geared strictly to teach potential new ice cream producers the “ins and outs” of producing great frozen dessert products. This seminar program has been organized to take you on a step by step road so that when leaving here you will feel more comfortable about both the Emery Thompson and Carpigiani batch freezer and the process of batch freezer production, and how all of this relates to someone (your customers) wanting to create and operate their own ice cream concept.

Day 1
We will have an opening orientation about everything you have to know about the Emery Thompson and Carpigiani Batch Freezer, and why each makes a terrific piece of equipment to produce great ice cream, sorbets and Italian water ices.
We will prepare both an ice cream (16%) and gelato base (6%) from scratch pasteurizing the mix to 185F, and then cooling down the base. We do not believe in using powdered base that many ingredient companies from Italy promote. Why? Cost and quality.

Now it time for all of us to get to get started making a great Vanilla ice cream. In our industry, there’s an old saying; “you are always judged by the vanilla you produce.”

Developing a great Chocolate ice cream takes patience, but the results are just terrific. As a group it is second only to vanilla in sales.

Producing nut flavors. Nut flavors are increasing in popularity and variations yearly.
Creating fruit flavors and their off shoots are a lot of fun and in the summer you will probably produce more fruit flavors as a category than anything else, and creating candy based flavors, one of the hottest flavor line to hit our industry in years.

We will spend the balance of the afternoon preparing gelato flavors from scratch, not using pastes as the main ingredient.

At the end of this session we offer all students the opportunity for a 45 minute private consultation

Day 2
The entire day will be spent making gelato, Italian ice, sorbet flavors, and single serve novelty products.
Students are welcome to suggest flavors and products to make, and we will make every to make this happen for you
Seminar ends at 4:00PM.

IS THIS SEMINAR JUST FOR SOMEONE WANTING TO GO INTO THE ICE CREAM BUSINESS
Yes, because the creative learning curve of actually producing a frozen dessert product is a huge learning curve, but not difficult.

2-10 participants
