MAPLE SYRUP – A MIRACULOUS GIFT FROM CANADA'S NATURE
When it comes to Canadian cuisine, maple syrup stands out as an iconic and exceptional ingredient. While producers of maple syrup can be found across Canada’s vast landscape, the province of Quebec is renowned for crafting some of the finest maple syrup in the country.
Why is maple syrup from Quebec – Canada the best?
The province of Quebec, one of the coldest provinces in Canada, takes advantage of these 4 seasons to harvest the sap of Canadian maples and make our “golden” resource, maple syrup! Québec maple syrup is made from a single ingredient: the sap of maple trees. The sap flows every spring when day/night temperatures alternate between defrosting and freezing. This natural phenomenon is unique to eastern North America. Plus, nearly half of Québec’s maple syrup production is certified organic (Natural, with no GMOs or preservatives).
Quebec maple syrup is available in more than 60 countries worldwide!
Today, Quebec maple syrup, through its quality and unique taste, is found in more than 60 countries around the world. More and more people around the world are falling in love with maple. Gradually, people from all countries are replacing white sugar with maple syrup for its unique taste and as a healthy diet.
Types of maple syrup
Québec is unique for our rigorous classification of maple syrup. The process guarantees quality and divides maple syrup into four color categories. Each color denotes a distinct flavor. At the start of the maple season, syrup is generally clear, with a lightly sweet taste. It becomes darker and caramelized as the season goes on. Most Asian countries prefer golden and amber syrup!
