SYRUP GRADES
VERMONT GRADE A GOLDEN COLOR - DELICATE TASTE
The lightest in color and the most delicate in flavor. The delight of native Vermonters and connoisseurs of maple syrup. Great on pancakes and ice cream, and foods where the delicate flavor can be appreciated. But if you desire a definite, strong flavor, this is not for you.
VERMONT GRADE A AMBER - RICH TASTE
The most popular grade for all around use. Medium in color and flavor. If in doubt which grade to try, give this one a go!
VERMONT GRADE A DARK ROBUST TASTE
Darker and stronger than Amber Color with Rich Taste. If a definite, more robust maple flavor is preferred, then Dark with Robust maple syrup is the perfect grade for you.
GRADE A VERY DARK COLOR - STRONG TASTE
As the maple sugaring season draws closer to the end, the maple flavor will start to change. The buds on the maple trees are growing at a faster rate, because the weather is warming up and the excellent maple flavor will turn to a rancid buds taste. This maple syrup used to be called Grade C, but is now known as “Very Dark/Strong Taste.” This grade is used for cooking.
PLEASE NOTE: WE DO NOT SELL THIS GRADE.
