Description

Bottled clam juice is a liquid ingredient extracted from fresh clams, primarily used to impart an intense, briny flavor to various culinary preparations. It is commonly used in soups, broths, sauces, and seafood dishes to enhance the umami and oceanic flavor.

This juice is obtained by cooking fresh clams and collecting the resulting liquid, which is then filtered and bottled for preservation. Its origin is linked to the culinary traditions of the East Coast of the United States, although its use has spread in international cuisine to enhance seafood flavors.

Properties: Bottled clam juice is low in calories and fat, but rich in sodium and minerals from the sea. It provides an authentic seafood flavor without the need to use whole shellfish, making it easy to use in recipes where a concentrated marine touch is desired.

Synonyms in Latin American Spanish: it is commonly known as jugo de almejas, caldo de almejas, or extracto de almejas. In some regions, it may also be called líquido de almeja or simply líquido de marisco.
