Organic Amber Maple Syrup
Maple sugar was the gift European settlers received from First Nations peoples living in the belt of hardwood forest in northeastern North America. It was not until much later that maple syrup became the preferred maple product. Our Amber syrup is light and fresh tasting, perfect for pancakes and waffles and excellent in baking. Try it in a pecan pie or in other dishes that require flavourful sweetening. It comes from a single forest near Goderich, Ontario. To avoid developing burnt or smokey flavours, our syrup is first run through a reverse osmosis machine that produces a clean tasting syrup full of true maple flavour. It is then further reduced in a low temperature simmer to 66 brix.
Our maple syrup is different from conventional maple syrup because animal-fat defoamers are not used, and all the equipment used is washed in the pure water taken from the sap. Formaldehyde plugs that can hamper microbial and fungal growth are not used and the trees are not injected with chemicals that force them to produce more sap.
Maple syrup should be used within three years of being purchased. Opened maple syrup can last for one year in the fridge.
We offer two other strengths of maple syrup: Dark and Very Dark
