The flavoring components are obtained by addition of flavor-generating whey source as part of a fermentation process in which the whey source provides a source of flavor, and a lipid source is added which traps and stabilizes, and thus preserves, flavor compounds in the fermented mixture during a subsequent heat treatment used for culture inactivation. Methods of making and using these flavoring components and flavoring systems in food products, such as cheese products, also are provided.
