ABOUT CANADIAN MAPLE SYRUP

Maple syrup is a natural sweetener derived from the concentration of maple tree sap. In early spring, maple trees are tapped, the sap is collected, then it's cooked down into a rich, flavorful syrup. A product exclusive to North America and enjoyed there most often, Vermont is the best-known producer of real maple syrup. It's also made in other states in the northeastern U.S. as well as the eastern region of Canada. Maple syrup is most often enjoyed on breakfast foods like pancakes, though it's also used in sweets and cooked into glazes, sauces, and adds a sweetness to savory dishes.

What Does It Taste Like?

Maple syrup has a distinct flavor all its own and it varies with the type of tree, region, and when it was collected. It's generally a rich caramel-like taste with hints of woody vanilla. As the sap is harvested throughout the year, the flavor is intensified. Pure maple syrup is three times as sweet as regular table
