Flavour Analysis

Prime rib’s first impression is powerful beefy meatiness, but animal fat, oleic acid and iron soon reveal the profile beneath. A toast note adds warm aroma. A kombu dashi note contributes savoury richness, and caramel and rancio notes give the profile a finish that moves from the familiar to the unexpected.
