Maple syrup
Maple syrup, also known as maple tree syrup, gives your bakes a caramel-like flavour. It is a healthier alternative to refined sugars in your baking creations.
What is maple syrup?
Maple syrup, also known as maple tree syrup, is a natural sweetener obtained from the sap of the maple tree. In spring, the sap is tapped and boiled down into a rich, syrupy liquid. The flavour is gently sweet with caramel-like and lightly smoky notes.
How can you use maple syrup?
Maple syrup is a natural and flavourful substitute for regular sugar. It adds a caramel-like sweetness with a subtle nutty note. You can use it in many different ways.
• In sweet bakes: add it to cakes, brownies, muffins or buttercream. In desserts: perfect over pancakes, waffles, mini pancakes, stirred through yoghurt or as a topping on ice cream and other desserts.
• In savoury dishes: combine it in marinades for meat or fish, over roasted vegetables or in homemade salad dressings.
• In drinks: use it as a natural sweetener in coffee or tea, or add a splash to smoothies.
Different types of maple syrup
In our webshop you will find various types and quantities of maple syrup. Choose, for example, organic or reduced-sugar varieties, available from 250 ml up to 710 ml. This way, there is always an option that suits your baking needs. We also offer both Grade A and Grade C maple syrup.
What is the difference between Grade A and Grade C maple syrup?
Maple syrup is available in different colour grades. The finest is Grade A syrup. It is light brown in colour and obtained from the first tapping early in the spring. Grade C syrup is darker brown and collected during a later tapping. This syrup has a rich, smooth caramel flavour.
