A real gem from the vineyards is celebrating its comeback: verjus (French for “green juice”). Once an insider tip in high-end cuisine, it now delights top chefs, bartenders and connoisseurs alike. Made from the juice of unripe grapes, verjus combines fruity effervescence with centuries of tradition. Its acidity is finer than lemon and milder than vinegar – ideal for dressings, sauces, cocktails and refreshing drinks.

How Verjus is made
Harvest
Verjus is made from unripe, green grapes that are gently pressed in a wine or fruit press. As the grapes must be completely free of pesticide residues at the time of harvest, we allow sufficient waiting time during the harvest.
Processing
Depending on the production process, the freshly squeezed juice is clarified and filtered or processed to be naturally cloudy. In the next processing step, the juice is heated in a pasteurizer to preserve it. The sour taste is due to malic and tartaric acid, which are present in Verjus in roughly equal proportions.
Filling and shelf life
While still hot, the juice is filled into bottles or large containers and sealed airtight. This allows it to keep for years. Once opened, however, verjus should be stored in the fridge and consumed within 3-4 weeks.
The versatile alternative
Verjus as a vinegar alternative
Verjus is increasingly appreciated as the perfect alternative to vinegar. With its fine acid structure, it supports the flavors of other ingredients without overpowering them. Whether for pickling vegetables, in salad dressings or in savory dishes such as goulash – a dash of verjus is the ideal accompaniment in the kitchen.
Verjus instead of lemon
Verjus offers a more varied, more delicate flavor structure compared to lemon, but less intense. This makes it particularly popular in mixed drinks, cocktails and even baking. Its subtle, fruity acidity is ideal for creams, ice creams or glazes and is a local alternative to lemon.
Verjus as an alcohol substitute
The fine acidity and slightly bitter astringency of verjus make it the perfect ingredient to replace alcohol in drinks. Verjus fills a flavor gap and gives non-alcoholic drinks the complexity and freshness that were previously missing.
