Item Description
The word verjus derives from the French term vert jus, literally “green juice." It is a medieval condiment that was once a staple of French provincial cooking that's now enjoying a worldwide revival. It's made from semi-ripe and unfermented wine grapes that are picked very early in the season. The grapes are picked from the vine during veraison, when the grapes change in color and the berries begin to soften enough to press. Because verjus is made from wine grapes and shares the same acid-base as wine, it is an elegant and delicate alternative to vinegar and lemon juice in a variety of culinary applications as it is "wine friendly" and will not distort the essence of the wine you pair with the dish.
TASTING NOTES
I like to use Verjus in cooking when I want to add brightness to a dish. Verjus can be used in place of, or along with, citrus and vinegar in salad dressings, soups, deglazing pan sauces, marinades, brines, pickles, cocktails, jellies, jams and sorbet. Enjoy! - Justin Wangler, Executive Chef
