Tasting Notes

Grade A: Dark Color, Robust Taste. The wood-fire, slow boil brings out more caramelization and the late season syrup lends a darker color and deeper flavor. This is our boldest maple yet.

Recommended Uses

Dark robust maple syrup is often used when a stronger maple flavor is desired. Whether that’s in cocktails, as a glaze, over pancakes, or as a baking sweetener, this will not disappoint maple lovers.

Sourcing

Sugarmaker’s Dark is sourced from a handful of our smaller sugaring partners across the state of Vermont who are making syrup the old fashioned way: slow boiled over a wood-fired evaporator.

Ingredients

Pure Vermont maple syrup.

Small Batch, Wood Fired

Sugarmaker’s Dark is the very best wood fired Vermont maple syrup of the season. We partner with smaller sugarmakers across the state of Vermont who still produce maple syrup “the old fashioned way”, using wood to fire their evaporators. Using wood to turn sap to syrup takes longer than modern, oil-fired rigs, and the extra time over the flame brings out different characteristics in the syrup.

The end result is a robust flavor that will take on a stack of waffles and robe them in bold, maple goodness.

Wood Fired Dark Maple Syrup: How It's Made

As the maple harvesting season progresses, the sap naturally boils down to a darker and more robust syrup. Sugarmaker’s Dark is the very best wood-fired dark Vermont maple syrup of the season. We partner with smaller sugarmakers across the state – the ones who still produce maple syrup “the old fashioned way”: using wood to fire their evaporators. Using wood to turn sap to syrup takes longer than modern, oil-fired rigs, and the extra time over the flame brings out different characteristics in the syrup. The end result is a deep, complex, robust maple flavor that will take on a stack of waffles and robe them in bold maple goodness.

This was fantastic. I ordered this to make ice cream- i could not find Grade B anywhere! This was bold and stood up to the cream without losing that maple flavor. Pricey but worth every penny. I will be using the rest for my pancakes etc.

As a Rhode Islander, I grew up eating Johnny Cakes, a cornmeal treat. But this week, I added the wood fired syrup over them and what an amazing addition to my Johnny cakes. I have never tasted such a wonderful combination. This was a greatly enhanced treat!!!
