Shady Maple Farms Organic Very Dark Maple Syrup 16.9 oz

Overview

A 16.9 fl oz bottle of Shady Maple Farms organic very dark maple syrup, graded US Grade A and certified Fair Trade. It has a strong, robust maple flavor and is cholesterol free.

Very dark syrup sits at the bold end of the maple flavor spectrum, made later in the harvest season when the flavor deepens, so it reads stronger on pancakes or in baking than a lighter amber syrup would. The Fair Trade certification is a distinguishing detail among grocery maple syrups, most of which do not carry it.

Who it's for

Cooks who prefer a stronger, more robust maple flavor over a mild, delicate one, and shoppers who look for Fair Trade certification specifically. Not the choice for someone who wants a light, subtle maple taste.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

Very dark grade maple syrup is harvested later in the season than golden or amber grades, which concentrates the flavor into a stronger, more robust maple taste. That makes it suited to recipes where the syrup needs to hold its own, such as baking or glazes, rather than just a light pancake topping.
