Again this year (2009) we have made a
Verjus. price reduced $9.00 (500ml bottle)
Released 21-Nov-2009; available at the winery, and at our table
at the
Bainbridge Farmers Market. Verjus is the
non-fermented juice from underripe grapes. It can be used in
cooking whereever you would otherwise use lemon juice.
Like wine, verjus gets it's tartness from malic and lactic
acids, as opposed to lemon juice which is comprised of citric
acid. This means that food cooked with verjus, when served with
wine, will not have the metallic clashing that a citric-based
tartening agent may have.
