Perfect Pairings & Recipes for
Manouri
Exquisite Manouri flavour pairings and recipes, revealed through data science.
Manouri instantly conjures the embrace of milk and the kiss of butyric acid, but beneath its sweetness lies a complex symphony of subtle flavour notes, such as butter, lactic acid, and hints of lamb. These are the notes that lend it such remarkable, resonant depth. And the alchemy of the kitchen begins when we seek out partners that allow these notes to truly sing.
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 exploration reveals, for instance, how the fruity, sweet gamma-decalactone in plum can perfume Manouri, and how pistachio's amygdaline notes forge a beautiful synergy with its mild creaminess.

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