About Us
Do you know why you like certain foods and not others? You may find some foods so tasty, but they may not be as good to other people. It’s all in the flavors of the food.
In this Instagram generation, we’re living in, the focus has shifted to the plating of food to make it appealing to the eater. But, little to no attention goes into ensuring the food you eat is flavorful.
However, you and I both know that good food delivers a balance of sensations on the palate. Moreover, psychology has shown that paying more attention to how a dish looks can obscure flavor perception.
Do you know about Hakarl, a traditional dish in Iceland? Even if you do, it’s still debatable whether you would like its ammonia smell and taste of a rotten dead shark. This is true even if the dish is given a better presentation.

We started this blog to give food lovers like you important information about all the authentic flavors from around the world. We explore and showcase different flavors that people enjoy every day without an obsession with how their food is plated.
At Flavor-online, we believe that “the proof is in the pudding.” And, until you try out some of these flavors, you are really missing out.
Researchers have shown that human love for some flavors and tastes is innate. Naturally, we’re all born with a liking for sweet flavors. Even breast milk is sweet and most of the foods we consume and like have a sweet flavor.
With the discovery of Umami taste, it has also been shown that we generally have a liking for the “pleasant savory taste” or flavor of umami.
However, we can also develop and acquire a liking for many flavors over the years. We’re only exposed to a few flavors while growing up, explaining why we only acquire a liking for what we are familiar with or have tasted before.
Therefore, we’re likely to discover and love new flavors. What it takes is spending some time learning about the different flavors and try them out.
We started this blog site to help you in your discovery journey of the many different flavors available and enjoyed from all over the world. Whether you’re currently into sweet and savory flavors, or you prefer your dishes sour and bitter, it doesn’t matter.
