Verjuice is a souring liquid extracted from unripe grapes or other fruit, characterized by a tartaric acid concentration that yields a pH of 3.5–4.0.
Origin: Medieval European peoples (12th–15th century) — France, Italy, England
See full technique reference →The extraction releases tartaric acid and other organic acids, giving the juice its acidity. Phenolic compounds are also liberated, but gentle pressing limits tannin extraction, preserving a mild flavor. Oxidation of phenolics during prolonged exposure to air can increase astringency and bitterness.
Primary Reaction
Acid extraction from unripe fruit cells, release of tartaric acid and phenolic compounds; mild oxidation of phenolics increases astringency.
