Short and sharp notes for saltier flavours
Studies show staccato sounds bring out the texture in foods and enhance saltiness. This means that songs with a high tempo and low danceability (which Spotify judges by the tune's overall regularity) pair perfectly with firm, salty cheeses. Perfect to pair with the cheddar in recipes like our Cheesy Chicken Pasta Bake or Canellini & Mushroom Potato Top Pie , we've picked out popular hits known for their strong, steady beat.
| Artist | Song | Danceability | Tempo |
|---|---|---|---|
| The Verve | Bittersweet Symphony | 0.36 | 171 |
| Coldplay | Viva la Vida | 0.49 | 138 |
| The Beatles | Eleanor Rigby | 0.58 | 138 |
