Facts about maple syrup:
Maple syrup comes from the sap of trees. Other trees also give sap so there are many different types of syrup.
75% of the world’s maple syrup comes from Quebec, Canada.
Syrup is organized in 4 colours which are determined by how much light gets through the syrup (Light Transmission – LT)
GOLD >75% LT
AMBER 50-75% LT
DARK 25-50% LT
ULTRA DARK <25% LT
The colour of the syrup tends to be determined by:
1) when in the season and
2) the outside temperature when the sap was collected.
GOLD syrup comes very early in the season when it is still below freezing. The sap for gold is very clear and light with a mild flavour. As the season progresses and temperatures rise the syrup gets darker and darker.
ULTRA DARK syrup comes last and is most plentiful. It is – in our opinion – the most robust and flavourful.
GOLD syrup has more sucrose. As the syrups get darker there is an increase in simple sugars like fructose and glucose. The conversion is sucrose to simple sugars is accelerated by healthy microbes that prefer warmer weather.
There are also different grades of syrup.
GRADE A is what you buy for home.
GRADE B is mostly for professional kitchens.
GRADE C is the lowest quality and tends to be used for industrial applications (manufacturing food).
Our maple flavoured hot sauces use only GRADE A!
To make maple syrup, the sap is boiled and reduced. It takes 50 liters of sap to make 1 liter of maple syrup! The boiling also kills all the microbes that darken the syrup.
Processed and stored maple syrup will last forever. Once opened and refrigerated it can last years. If it crystallizes it can be heated up to liquefy.
