Vermont Maple Syrup Grades
Definitions for the different grades of Vermont Maple Syrup
Maple syrup grades vary depending on the tree and the time of season you are tapping. The tap made early in the season generally produces a Grade A Fancy Syrup – the lightest shade and most delicate flavored Vermont Maple Syrup. Sap gathered later in the season tends to produce a heartier Grade B Maple Syrup. Find more information below about the four grades of maple syrup as distinguished by the Vermont Department of Agriculture.Ask us about VT Maple Products or share your comments.
