Chasselas

Discover the best flavour pairings for Chasselas based on data analysis of thousands of recipes. Find perfect ingredient matches & delicious recipes.

Chasselas immediately conjure the embrace of blossom and the kiss of pear, but beneath its sweetness lies a complex symphony of subtle flavour notes, such as sour apple, honey, and hints of rose that contribute remarkable depth. And the true alchemy of the kitchen begins when we seek out pairings that allow these notes to truly sing, to harmonise in unexpected and delightful ways.

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 exploration reveals, for instance, how the creamy, sweet delta-decalactone in whole milk can enrich Chasselas, and how cream's lacteal notes forge a beautiful synergy with its soft floral aroma.

An ingredient's flavour profile is determined by its core characteristics (e.g. floral, acidic, and vegetal) 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 Art of Flavour Pairing

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