Golden maple syrup: the finesse of the first pour

The elegance of an early, artisanal harvest

THE golden maple syrup This is the treasure of the first days of the thaw. When the nights are still icy and the maple sap is just beginning to rise, it is imbued with a unique purity. It is this "first run" that we transform with particular care. To preserve its golden hue, the boiling time in the evaporator is kept to a minimum, thus preserving the most subtle aromas of the sap.

Contrary to popular belief, a light color is not a sign of dilution, but rather proof of the producer's technical mastery: the lighter the syrup, the purer and more refined it is.
