Description
Verjuice is a tart, unfermented grape juice made from crushed unripe grapes, naturally fermented at ambient temperatures.
Technical
The process relies on lactic acid bacteria converting grape sugars into lactic acid, while the naturally high tartaric acid content of unripe grapes contributes to the acidity. The resulting liquid contains both lactic acid and tartaric acid, giving it a sharp, green flavor profile.
