Perfect Pairings & Recipes for
Avocado Oil

Exquisite avocado oil flavour pairings and recipes, revealed through data science.

Avocado oil instantly conjures the embrace of oleic acid and the bracing kiss of butter, woven with delicate hints of chamomile, resin, and olive, contributing remarkable depth. And the epicurean alchemy begins when we seek out partners that allow these notes to truly sing.

To map these harmonies, we analysed thousands of ingredients, breaking each one down across 150 flavour dimensions, identifying which notes complement and contrast. Our exploration reveals, for instance, how the pure, salty sodium chloride in anchovy can ground avocado oil, and how spinach's leafy notes forge a beautiful synergy with its smooth oiliness.

An ingredient's flavour profile is determined by its core characteristics (e.g. vegetal, floral, and herbal) enhanced by layers of subtle aroma notes (outer bars). When pairing ingredients, aim for a mix of core traits to build balance, and select complementary aroma notes to create harmony.

The Secret Language of Flavour

To understand exactly which flavours harmonise, we compiled a database of over 50,000 ingredient pairings commonly used in cooking. We then analysed these pairings, identifying the specific flavour notes that frequently appear together.

The Flavours That Harmonise With Oleic Notes

Our analysis reveals a strong connection between oleic acid and chlorophyll flavours. Since avocado oil has a distinct oleic flavour, try pairing it with the green flavours of spinach.

The recipe below provides inspiration for pairing avocado oil with spinach.

Harmonious Flavours Of Avocado Oil

Just as our statistical analysis showed that oleic acid and cinchona flavour accents are often associated, we can identify the full profile of flavours that harmonise with each of the flavour notes present in avocado oil. For instance, the buttery flavours of avocado oil are strongly associated with plum-like and coffee-like flavours.

The aromas complementary to the various aroma accents of avocado oil can be seen highlighted in the pink bars below.

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., Avocado oil), analyse its detailed flavour profile, and accurately reveal its complementary flavours and perfect ingredient partners.
