Perfect Pairings & Recipes for
Poultry Jus

Exquisite poultry jus flavour pairings and recipes, revealed through data science.

Poultry jus instantly conjures the evocative embrace of caramel and the kiss of glutamate. But look beneath its obvious umaminess and you'll discover a captivating symphony of softer notes, a whisper of 2-methyl-3-furanthiol, a hint of protease, and subtle accents reminiscent of smoke that contribute remarkable depth. And the culinary wizardry begins when we seek out partners that allow these notes to truly sing, to harmonise in unexpected and delightful ways.

To illuminate these harmonies, we embarked on an ambitious journey, analysing thousands of ingredients. Each was meticulously deconstructed across 150 distinct flavour dimensions, allowing us to pinpoint precisely which notes complement in both classic and unexpected ways. Our analysis reveals, for example, how carrot's saccharine tones lift poultry jus, and how kale's brassica notes create a surprising synergy with its warm sweetness.

An ingredient's flavour profile is determined by its core characteristics (e.g. maillard, herbal, and earthy) enhanced by layers of subtle aroma notes (outer bars). When pairing ingredients, aim for a mix of core traits to build balance, and select complementary aroma notes to create harmony.

Unlocking Flavour Combinations

To understand exactly which flavours harmonise, we compiled a database of over 50,000 ingredient pairings commonly used in cooking. We then analysed these pairings, identifying the specific flavour notes that frequently appear together.

The Flavours That Harmonise With Caramel Notes

Our analysis reveals a strong connection between caramel and cabbage flavours. Since poultry jus has a distinct caramel flavour, try pairing it with the cabbagy flavours of kale.

The recipe below provides inspiration for pairing poultry jus with kale.

Harmonious Flavours Of Poultry Jus

Just as our analysis highlighted that caramel and cabbagy flavour accents are harmonious, we can identify the full profile of flavours that harmonise with each of the flavours present in poultry jus. For instance, the glutamic accents of poultry jus are strongly associated with bay leaf and thyme-like flavours.

The aromas linked to the various aromas of poultry jus can be seen highlighted in the pink bars below.

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