Ryvita have teamed with top food and flavour scientist and chef Dr Rachel Edwards-Stuart (who’s PHD was sponsored by Heston Blumenthal – nuff said) to develop twelve incredible toppings recipes for Ryvita Crispbreads using a ‘flavour pairing hypothesis’, which uses scientific techniques to match ingredients together.

It works by first finding the dominant flavour and aroma compounds for each variety of Ryvita Crispbread before matching it with fresh ingredients that have the exact same aroma and flavour profile. For instance, to create the Creamy Brie & Cocoa topping for Ryvita Sweet Onion Crispbread, research was conducted on baked onion, which has a dominant aroma compound called dimethyltrisulfide. This is also found in cocoa, honey, garlic, brie and mushrooms!

Fancy getting creative, check out these surprising combo’s….
