Bardolino conjures the evocative embrace of cherry and the kiss of raspberry. But look beneath its obvious bitterness and you'll discover a captivating symphony of softer notes, a whisper of plum, a hint of pear, and subtle accents reminiscent of almond, giving it remarkable depth. The culinary wizardry unfolds when we pair Bardolino with ingredients that let these nuances sing.

To illuminate these harmonies, we embarked on an ambitious journey, analysing thousands of ingredients. Each was meticulously deconstructed across 150 distinct flavour dimensions, allowing us to pinpoint precisely which notes complement in both classic and unexpected ways. Our findings reveal, for instance, how mixed spice's cinnamonic tones can infuse with Bardolino, or how cinnamon's eugenolic notes create an unexpectedly harmonious bridge with the juicy sweetness.

An ingredient's flavour stems from its core characteristics, such as acidic, floral, or nectarous, combined with layers of subtle flavour notes (outer bars). For a balanced dish, pair ingredients with a variety of core flavours, and choose complementary aroma notes for harmony.

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