Just a Few Facts About Maple Syrup, A New Hampshire Tradition:
- It takes 40 gallons of sugar maple sap to make one
gallon of pure NH Maple Syrup.
- It takes freezing cold nights and warm sunny days with
temperatures in the 40's and up before the maple sap will run.
- It takes approximately 40 years for a sugar maple tree
to reach tapping size. The sugar maples need to be tapped, the lines
run, the buckets hung, the sap gathered daily, the wood cut, the fires
watched, the sap boiled down to syrup, and the maple syrup packaged
and labeled before it reaches your table.
- Our pure NH Maple Syrup is 100% FAT FREE.
- U.S. Grade A Medium Amber Maple Syrup has a slightly
darker amber color with a gentle but more pronounced maple flavor. This
syrup is desirable for pancakes, waffles, French toast, and cereal and
is a great all-purpose syrup.
- New Hampshire has a mandatory maple syrup grading law.
Pure NH syrup must adhere to some of the strictest standards for density,
clarity, color, and flavor. Maple inspectors enforce these laws and
assist producers in maintaining high standards and superior quality
in their maple products.
