Morphology
The phrase's meaning is directly built from 'fullness' (a rich, complete quality) combined with 'flavor' (taste), so a learner who knows the constituent words can infer it. The simple 'X of Y' compositional pattern is cross-linguistically common and follows normal noun-modifier semantics, making the expression immediately comprehensible to a B1 learner.
Etymology
Fullness of flavor comes from the simple image of a taste that seems to fill your mouth; the fullness is the strong, complete feeling and the flavor is the taste. So, it describes a 'rich', 'complete', and 'satisfying' taste.
