Hass avocado immediately conjures the embrace of butter and the bracing kiss of banana, but beneath its umami surface lies a nuanced symphony of subtle flavour notes: resin, coconut, and even hints of olive that give it remarkable depth. Understanding how these elements interplay is the secret to unlocking truly exceptional pairings.

To chart these harmonies, we analysed thousands of ingredients, each deconstructed across 150 distinct flavour dimensions, pinpointing the notes that best complement this ingredient’s profile. Our findings reveal, for instance, how black bean's glutamic tones can enrich Hass avocado, or how strawberry's baccate notes create an unexpectedly harmonious bridge with the rich creaminess.

An ingredient's flavour comes from its core characteristics, like vegetal, woody, and herbal, combined with its unique aroma notes (outer bars).

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