Our F.L.A.V.O.R results
FORM
The judge describes the product's visual appearance as having a surprising green color, which is more indicative of a culinary condiment than a traditional honey. This unconventional appearance may challenge consumer expectations and require clear positioning to ensure it is understood as a unique honey-based product rather than a standard honey.
80/100
LINGER
The judge notes that the thyme flavor persists strongly in the aftertaste, leaving a highly memorable and distinctive impression. This long-lasting herbal note could be an asset for certain culinary applications, but may also present a challenge for consumers seeking a more traditional honey experience.
90/100
AROMA
The judge's evaluation suggests that the aroma profile of this honey product is dominated by the herbal notes of thyme, rather than the expected sweetness of honey. While the thyme scent is quite pronounced, the honey aroma is barely perceptible, which may limit the product's versatility as a standalone condiment.
69/100
VITALITY
The flavor profile is described as predominantly woody and herbal, with the thyme aroma and taste being the most prominent elements. The judge acknowledges that the honey serves as a supporting ingredient, but the lack of sweetness and honey character may limit the product's appeal as a standalone honey product.
91/100
OVERALL TEXTURE
The judge notes that the texture of the product is thick, sticky, and dense, with a pasty mouthfeel. While these textural qualities are appropriate for a honey-based item, the judge suggests that the strong herbal presence overpowers the honey's inherent sweetness and viscosity.
90/100
REFINEMENT
Overall, the judge seems quite intrigued by this unique honey-based product, recognizing its potential as a culinary ingredient, particularly for pairing with savory meats. However, the judge also acknowledges that the product's strong herbal character and lack of honey sweetness may limit its appeal as a standalone honey.
