Perfect Pairings & Recipes for
Sheep's Cheese
Exquisite sheep's cheese flavour pairings and recipes, revealed through data science.
Sheep's cheese conjures the embrace of caprinae and the kiss of kefir, yet its initial umaminess is only the opening note. Beneath lies a sophisticated tapestry of delicate kombu dashi, whispers of butter, and the fermented aroma of prosciutto that give it remarkable depth. The key to a beautiful pairing lies in understanding how these elements combine harmoniously.

An ingredient's flavour profile is determined by its core characteristics (e.g. acidic, maillard, and sweet) 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.
The Art of Flavour Pairing
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.

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., Sheep's cheese), analyse its detailed flavour profile, and accurately reveal its complementary flavours and perfect ingredient partners.
The information presented here is generated by our automated analytical pipelines. When an ingredient's flavour profile is updated, the analysis is updated automatically.
