They are covered in a protective coating of powdery epicuticular wax, colloquially known as the “bloom”. Chemically, it consists of hydrophobic organic compounds, mainly straight-chain aliphatic hydrocarbons. The main functions of the epicuticular wax are to decrease surface wetting and moisture loss. Other functions include reflection of ultraviolet light, assisting in the formation of an ultra-hydrophobic and self-cleaning surface and acting as an anti-climb surface.
But what’s Verjus, you ask? Verjus, or “green juice” in French, is a unique and tangy elixir made from the juice of unripened grapes. It adds a delightful zing to this jam, balancing the sweetness of blueberries with a hint of acidity. Together, they create a well balanced blend of flavors that can elevate your morning toast or cheese platter to a whole new level.
Ingredients: blueberries, verjus (young tart grape juice), organic sugar, organic lemon juice

“You might think all you're getting when you open a jar of Saba's preserves is jam. But you're wrong. It's also poetry, art, and time brought to a standstill. Following in the storied footsteps of the great Persian poets, artists, and preservers who came before her, Saba crafts passionate odes to fruit with each batch of jam she makes. There is no one else like her. But you don't need me to convince you — one taste is all it'll take.”
