The Art of Blending Spices
Blending spices is the art of balancing flavor notes, aromas, and cultural traditions, and the science of understanding how chemical compounds interact under heat, water and fat extraction.
Ingredients with similar chemical components tend to produce harmonious pairings, whereas contrasting components tend to create depth to the flavor profile.
Studies on our olfactory and sensory senses discovered that most of what we perceive as taste is actually driven by our sense of smell. And we know how much aroma can affect our physiological and psychological responses.
Culturally, what we eat can deeply contribute to the general stereotypes about a people when it comes to their dominant personality types.
Blending spices is an art that can elevate your cooking. Most artisanal blends balance primary taste notes (salty, sweet, sour, bitter, umami) with volatile aromatics. Check out our blends and embark on a savory exploration.
