Sensory and blending knowledge travels only when practitioners combine explicit vocabulary and procedures with repeated practice in the receiving product domain.
Expert intuition should not be romanticized; tacit judgment can also contain bias and requires testing.
Codification makes experience discussable, but decontextualization can strip away cues and judgment. Training must re-embed concepts through comparative tasting, feedback, calibration, and iteration.
Use this principle to design consumer blending exercises and sensory curricula.
