Verjus is made from green, not fully ripe grapes, which at the point of harvest have a very low juice content. Verjus was already known in the Middle Ages and is now being rediscovered. The juice is alcohol-free and low in calories.

It can be used as an alternative to vinegar or lemon, its taste is milder than vinegar and finer than lemon. Verjus is valued wherever a fresh, invigorating acidity without a dominant taste of its own is desired. This specialty tastes good as a soft drink instead of lemonade, as a mixed drink or as a condiment in a salad.
