Cocchi Americano

Top flavour pairings and Cocchi Americano recipes, revealed through the hidden methmatics of flavour.
Cocchi Americano conjures the evocative embrace of quinine and the bracing kiss of honey.

The key to a remarkable combination lies in understanding how these notes combine harmoniously.

Our findings reveal, for instance, how Averna's gentian tones can resonate with Cocchi Americano, or how maple syrup's saccharine notes create an unexpectedly harmonious bridge with the medicinal bitterness.

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