VerJus

I am the largest producer of VerJus in Niagara. Over time I have developed a VerJus which is used extensively in the local culinary world as well in spritzers for a great non-alcoholic drink. With a unique and refreshing flavor VerJus spritzers are popular as an alternative to wine when alcohol isn’t desired.

If you are located within the greater Toronto area I sell the VerJus through 100kmsfoods.com, outside of Toronto you can order directly.

VerjusGeneral Uses: Anything in which vinegar, wine or lemon juice would be used. For example, verjus can be used in sauces that call for a white wine reduction. Verjus can be used as a substitute for lemon juice or white wine vinegar in marinades for white meats. Verjus can also be used to make unique and tasty glazes for scallops and fish. Verjus can be used to make salad dressings. My personal favorite is a green dressing that incorporates verjus, Dijon mustard, and several green herbs like parsley and cilantro.

VerJus works with fish and the acidity in the dressing compliments wines
