Tasting notes
Sweet and Salty
Salted caramel, maple syrup and bacon, chocolate pretzels,… Why do sweet and salty combinations taste so deeply delicious? Because we’re hard-wired as a species to seek out both flavours. We evolved to recognize sweet foods as beneficial, since they’re generally high in calories – good sources of energy. And salt is vital to life. Even beyond the tongue, your stomach samples sweet and salty molecules and sends positive feedback to the brain. So combine these two timeless tastes, and you spark a response that’s positively primal.
