Grappa
Top flavour pairings and grappa recipes, revealed through the hidden methmatics of flavour.
Grappa conjures the embrace of honey and the kiss of blossom. But look beneath its obvious sourness and you'll discover a captivating symphony of softer notes, a whisper of almond, a hint of raisin, and subtle accents reminiscent of resin. These are the notes that lend it such remarkable, resonant depth. And the artistry of the kitchen begins when we seek out partners that allow these notes to truly sing, to harmonise in unexpected and delightful ways.

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