Our French sensory collective comments
The jury's evaluation reveals that the product, despite its distinct honey scent and rich texture, lacks the sensory harmony and culinary excellence expected of a premium honey product. Its overly sweet flavor, pasty texture, and marmalade-like aftertaste suggest a deviation from traditional honey characteristics, potentially leading to consumer confusion and dissatisfaction.

Our F.L.A.V.O.R results
FORM
The judge's observation that the product looks more like a spread than traditional honey is intriguing. The pale, shiny appearance deviates from the typical viscous, golden honey, which may create some confusion or disconnection for the consumer.
65/100
LINGER
The lingering, bitter-sweet aftertaste described by the judge further reinforces the impression of an unbalanced and disjointed flavor profile. The comparison to marmalade jam, rather than a clean, pure honey, suggests the product may be missing the signature honeyed finish that distinguishes exceptional honey products.
44/100
AROMA
The honey aroma appears light and delicate, as noted by the judge. While a distinct honey scent is present, the overall aroma profile seems somewhat muted, lacking the robust, complex layers one might expect from a premium honey product.
61/100
VITALITY
The flavor profile, characterized as overly sweet and sugary with a pronounced orange note, seems to lack the nuanced balance and depth one would expect from a high-quality honey product. The judge's assessment of the taste as "slightly unpleasant" and "very disturbing" raises concerns about the product's ability to satisfy the discerning palate.
46/100
OVERALL TEXTURE
The creamy, velvety, and sticky texture described by the judge suggests a rich, indulgent mouthfeel. However, the judge's note about the texture being a bit too thick and pasty indicates that the execution may not be entirely harmonious, potentially detracting from the overall sensory experience.
86/100
REFINEMENT
Based on the judge's evaluation, this honey-based product appears to fall short of the mark in terms of sensory harmony and culinary excellence. The flavor, texture, and overall impression seem to deviate from the expected qualities of a premium honey, potentially leaving the consumer unsatisfied and confused.
