PURE CANADIAN MAPLE SYRUP

Maple syrup is classified according to strict Canadian regulations into two grades and four color varieties.

As of January 1, 2016, Canada introduced a new classification: previously numbers were used (Nr.1 Extra light, Nr.1 Light, Nr.1 Medium, Nr.3 Dark), now letters are used. It is referred to as Grade A or Processing Grade and four different color intensities: Gold, Amber, Dark, and Very Dark.

The grade classification of maple syrup is determined based on color (the lighter syrup is collected at the beginning of the season, the darker one, ideal for industrial processing, at the end) and other organoleptic characteristics.

The purity and sugar content are virtually the same in all four varieties.

GRADE A

According to the production specification, maple syrup can be classified as Grade A only if obtained from the concentration process of maple sap and if it is free from undesirable fermentations, has a clear and uniform color, is free from sediments, not cloudy, has a natural maple aroma characteristic for each of the four color varieties and does not have non-characteristic odors or flavors.

PROCESSING GRADE

Maple syrup classified as Processing Grade is also obtained from the concentration of maple sap, but does not meet one or more quality parameters defined for Grade A. Only Grade A maple syrup can be sold in stores.

MAPLE SYRUP VARIETIES

Grade A maple syrup is further differentiated into four color varieties, defined through a transmittance value, which is the ratio between the intensity of light passing through a sample and that of the light emerging from it.

The higher the transmittance value, the lighter and more transparent the maple syrup is; the lower this value, the darker and more opaque the syrup appears.

GOLD

This syrup, produced in the colder periods, usually at the end of February, is the first syrup of the season, the color is golden and its flavor is the most delicate. To fully enjoy its light and refined taste, it is recommended to use it traditionally: left pure on pancakes, waffles, oatmeal, and yogurt.

AMBER

A bit darker in color, this grade is produced mid-season and has a smooth, more rounded flavor. It is recommended for cooking (very interesting for glazing salmon), but it is also excellent in cocktail preparation or for sweetening tea.

DARK

A step forward in flavor, this grade has a stronger and deeper taste. It is suggested for use in BBQ sauces and as a glaze for grilled meat. Especially recommended for sweetening coffee, it can also be an unconventional pairing for cheese instead of honey.

VERY DARK

This grade is by far the one with the most robust and bold flavor among all maple syrup grades. It is the last of the maple season. It is predominantly used for industrial confectionery preparations. Since it has such a strong flavor, it is often substituted in recipes that require molasses.
