Top flavour pairings and aromatic whites recipes, revealed through the hidden methmatics of flavour.

Aromatic whites conjure the evocative embrace of peach and the bracing kiss of blossom, but beneath its sweetness lies a complex symphony of subtle flavour notes, such as rose, jasmine, and hints of apricot that give it remarkable depth. The gastronomic enchantment unfolds when we pair aromatic whites with ingredients that let these nuances sing.

    How Flavonomics Works


    We've pioneered a unique, data-driven approach to decode the intricate art of flavour pairing. Our goal is to move beyond intuition and uncover the science of why certain ingredients harmonise beautifully. This rigorous methodology allows us to provide you with insightful and reliable pairing recommendations.

    Our analysis begins with over 50,000 carefully selected recipes from acclaimed chefs like Galton Blackiston, Marcello Tully, and Pierre Lambinon. This premium dataset ensures our model distils genuine culinary excellence and creativity.

    Each ingredient from these recipes is deconstructed across 150 distinct flavour dimensions, creating a unique numerical "flavour fingerprint." This quantification allows us to apply advanced analytical methods to identify complex patterns between flavour notes.

    We identify popular ingredient combinations that frequently appear in our recipe database. Regression analysis is then performed on these pairings to statistically validate and pinpoint truly harmonious flavours.

    These insights drive our predictive model, which allows us to take any ingredient (e.g., Aromatic whites), analyse its detailed flavour profile, and accurately reveal its complementary flavours and perfect ingredient partners.
