Verjus – Culinary Comeback
Verjus, or verjuice, as it is sometimes called, was first used in sixteenth century Europe, but then largely forgotten after the arrival of the lemon. Now verjus is back as a culinary ingredient indigenous to the world's wine producing regions. We sampled verjus at a vineyard in Baden-Württemberg owned by three chefs who are keen to revive interest in the traditional ingredient.
