Etymology

The term 'flavouring' originates from the Middle English word 'flavoure', which itself comes from the Old French 'flaveur', meaning 'savor' or 'taste'. The Old French term can be traced back to the Latin word 'flavor', derived from 'flavere', meaning 'to blow, to breathe'. Over the centuries, the concept of flavouring has evolved, particularly with advancements in culinary techniques and food preservation methods. Initially, flavouring was mostly achieved through the use of herbs, spices, and seasonal ingredients available in local markets. As trade expanded, new flavourings were introduced from different cultures, enhancing local cuisines. In contemporary contexts, the development of synthetic flavouring agents has transformed the food industry, allowing for the mass production of diverse flavours that were once only available through artisanal means.
