Flavour harmony: ginger and honey
Some flavour combinations seem obvious and logical, but will surprise you over and over. Ginger & Honey being a great example from this category. The hot and slightly spicy character of the ginger will get extra depth in its taste when rounded off by the soft and full sweetness of honey. The result? A taste that is both energizing and comforting.
Why? Ginger brings both freshness and spicy warmth: a sharpness that immediately adds liveliness to a product. The honey couldn’t be more contrasting; it softens and rounds off the taste profile with slight flowery notes bringing more balance to the overall combination.
An all-season standard
The power of this particular example of Flavour Harmony, is it versatility in use. Warming and comforting in winter times in items like hot tea, pastries and desserts. And during the summer months, disclosing its freshness in iced tea, lemonades and mocktails.
