YOUR CANADIAN IMPORTER OF SPECIALTY INGREDIENTS & GOURMET FOODS !
Fusion was inspired by the ancient French
product Verjus, which has been used in
its winemaking regions for centuries.
Fusion is made from vinifera grapes harvested and crushed in mid-summer when
acid levels are high and sugar levels are low. This "must" remains unfermented
and is a delicately tart, refreshing and versatile cooking ingredient.
Both red and white verjus can be used in salad dressing, with a proportion of 3 parts verjus to 1 part oil; red verjus is better suited for strong-flavored greens like arugula, spinach, and radicchio while white verjus is better for tender greens, like butter lettuce.
You can use white verjus as you would use white wine vinegar, lemon juice, or white wine—it is good in beurre blanc, or other sauces for chicken or fish.
How is Fusion
Verjus Used?
You can use red verjus as you would use red wine vinegar or red wine—it is particularly good in sauces for meat or spicy foods, as well as marinating.
You can make a tasty nonalcoholic Verjus Spritz by mixing one part Fusion Verjus, one part tonic water, one part sparkling water in a glass with ice, garnished with a lemon twist.
