Take the time to really smell fresh pineapple. What odours can you describe? Fruity? Tropical? That’s right. However, more difficult to detect will be its caramel, floral, citrus or butter notes. Let’s have a closer look and discover pineapple’s full Foodpairing® potential. Before digging into pairing with pineapple and revealing its best matches, Foodpairing® always starts with an aroma-analysis. This information allows us to calculate pairings, because when ingredients share aromas, they will pair well. Read more on the science behind Foodpairing. We have visualised this complicated chemical information for you, in an easy understandable aroma wheel. The different aroma molecules are sorted out and placed under more general ‘aroma descriptors’.

Tropical-fruity aromas

It’s no surprise that pineapple is mainly characterised by fruity aromas. More specific, they go into the tropical direction. That’s why pineapple is a good companion for tropical fruits such as mango, banana or passion fruit but also for oranges or grapefruit. If we have a look at more inland fruits then apple, pear and peach share these tropical-fruity notes. Its the very same fruity flavours that are present in alcoholic beverages such as rum – rum flamed pineapple makes perfect sense – cognac and several types of beer. Also many kinds of cheeses have fruity aromas and will therefore be great companions to fresh pineapple.

Caramel-roasted aromas

Besides its main fruity theme, fresh pineapple also contains caramel-roasted aromas.

This type of aromas is also developed during the baking-roasting process (Maillard-reaction). We see these aromas return in baked meat or fish. Even ingredients such as soy sauce, fondant chocolate, strawberry, tomato, black tea, black garlic and of course caramel are examples of ingredients with caramel flavours. Here’s a dish playing on the caramel theme: baked chicken with black garlic and poached pineapple.

Citrus-green aromas

Citrus-green aromas present in fresh pineapple link it to some types of fish, such as salmon. For Jamie Oliver’s Big Feastival this summer we created a tomato-pineapple salsa with salmon and basil.

Rose-floral and Geranium-floral aromas

The descriptor of ‘floral aromas’ is very general. Aroma-analysis shows us that it is mainly geranium and rose-like aromas defining the smell of pineapple. The rose-aroma links pineapple to raspberry, lychee, tomato or black tea. Also rum, whiskey and cognac share these rose-aromas with pineapple. Another interesting link built on the rose-floral aromas is pineapple-coffee. The Colombian Sierra Nevada coffee of Cafe de Colombia is a good example.

Butter-cheesy aromas

You might not expect it, but there’s a butter-cheesy side to fresh pineapple. It’s these butter-cheesy aromas that often match it to coffee, bread, chocolate and certain types of cheese, such as cream cheese.

How do I organize my fruit in the fridge?

Fruit should be stored in a low humidity drawer. In some fridges that drawer is marked “crisper.” Leave it in the original packaging or repackage it into a plastic bag and seal. Citrus fruits don't need to be stored in a bag.

They don’t need to be kept that cold, so it’s a perfect and easily accessible spot. Cream (or crème fraîche, sour cream) and yogurts should also be stored by the use-by date and kept covered. Keep them in a visible spot with the expiration date showing.

Keep them covered in a plastic container or wrapped in greaseproof paper or foil – avoid cling film as it encourages a damp surface, and chemicals in the film may transfer to the cheese. Eggs should be kept in their boxes near to the top of the fridge along with the cheese or in the egg holders in the door. Similar to milk, store eggs in date order.
