What Makes Zejd Verjuice Special?

Unripe Grape Juice – Naturally Tangy & Refreshing

Verjuice, also known as verjus, is traditionally made from unripe grapes, harvested before they develop their full sweetness.

Zejd Verjuice delivers this characteristic grape acidity in a concentrated form, allowing a small amount to bring noticeable brightness to a dish.
