Perfect Pairings & Recipes for
Unsweetened Chocolate
Analysing hundreds of thousands of recipes uncovers unsweetened chocolate's optimal flavour pairings.
Unsweetened chocolate instantly conjures the embrace of cocoa and the kiss of coffee, yet its initial bitterness is only the overtone. Beneath lies a tapestry of subtle burnt, hints of char, and the mouth-drying sensation of persimmon that give it remarkable depth. And the magic of the kitchen begins when we seek out partners that allow these notes to truly sing.

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