E-Taste is a series of five online lessons from Carpigiani Gelato University, designed to give a virtual taste of the university’s Basic Course. It is intended for anyone who wants to explore the Gelato University world and learn to make high-quality artisan gelato.

The five lessons

1. What is gelato and how is it made? Artisan gelato versus industrial ice cream, raw materials and their functions, and the production process step by step.
2. Enriched gelato: what it is, the different types, the stracciatella inclusion technique and composed flavours such as tiramisù.
3. Fruit sorbets and recipe balancing: water-based flavours, fruit categories and balancing techniques.
4. Milk-based gelato recipe balancing: the functional composition of ingredients, fatty versus sugary flavours and balancing techniques.
5. Gelato sticks and jars: alternative formats for artisan gelato, what Gelato Crystal is, and how to make jars and sticks.

The package is made up of the five video lessons plus a downloadable book.
