Perfect Pairings & Recipes for
Gavi

Analysing hundreds of thousands of recipes uncovers Gavi's optimal flavour pairings.

Gavi is marked by the taste of sour apple and pear. But look beneath its obvious sourness and you'll discover a captivating symphony of softer notes, a whisper of blossom, a hint of peach, and subtle accents reminiscent of flint that contribute remarkable depth. The key to a remarkable harmony lies in knowing how these elements harmonise and interact.

To map these harmonies, we analysed thousands of ingredients, breaking each one down across 150 flavour dimensions, identifying which notes complement and contrast. Our analysis reveals, for example, how bechamel sauce's lacteal tones enrich Gavi, and how salmon roe's algaline notes create a surprising synergy with its crisp sweetness.

An ingredient's flavour stems from its core characteristics, such as acidic, floral, or earthy, 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.

The Secret Language of Flavour

To understand how flavour notes harmonise, we analysed more than 50,000 popular ingredient combinations. By exploring these pairings, we identified specific flavour notes that frequently occur together, indicating they share a harmonious relationship.

The Flavours That Harmonise With Pear Notes

Our analysis reveals a strong connection between pear and seaweed flavours. Since Gavi has a distinct pear-like flavour, try pairing it with the seaweedy flavours of salmon roe.

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