Music can change the taste of chocolate

Do you like music? And chocolate? If, like us, you're passionate about both, here's some news that might interest you.

Just a few months ago, Oxford University concluded in one of its studies that the taste of chocolate can change depending on the music you're listening to . This study consisted of an experiment in which volunteers tasted several ounces of chocolate while listening to music. As they savored it, the music changed. And the result was surprising. When they heard the long notes of a flute, they found the chocolate tasted creamier, while when a violin played dissonant notes, they described the taste as more bitter or harsh. The interesting thing about this experiment is that we're no longer just talking about flavors, but about textures.
This study is led by Professor Charles Spence, an expert in how the brain combines information from each of our senses to create everyday experiences. If you want to see for yourself whether chocolate tastes different depending on the type of music you're listening to, you can take a test here .
Oh yes! The result of combining chocolate and music could only be incredible :)
