All Canadian Heritage Organics pure organic maple syrup, organic maple butter and granulated organic maple sugar are our own products. They are “Certified Organic” by Ecocert Canada as well as certified Kosher by Montreal Kosher. Canadian Heritage Organics maple products respect the organic farming processes: manufactured naturally with absolutely no artificial additives, coloring, preservatives or chemicals. Canadian Heritage Organics products are made in the Appalaches region of Quebec where the mineral content of the soil is ideal for making maple syrup. With three generations of craftsmanship, our maple products are collected using traditional farming techniques as well as with the Pipeline Method. This allows us to ensure that we are making the highest quality maple syrup possible. Once manufactured, maple syrup is graded by an independent company to meet Federal Standards. Grades refer to the colour and flavour of the syrup. Four grades of maple syrup, based on colour and taste: Golden, Delicate taste Amber, Rich taste Dark, Robust taste Very Dark, Strong taste There are two grades of maple syrup: Grade A and Processing Grade. Only Grade A maple syrup is sold in stores. It meets the following requirements: Free of fermentation Uniform in colour Free of sediment No cloudiness or turbidity Maple flavour characteristic of its colour class No objectionable odour or taste Golden, Delicate taste This syrup comes from maple sap harvested at the very beginning of the sugaring-off season. It’s distinguished by its light golden hue and sweet, delicate flavour. It’s a delicious topping for yogourt and ice cream. Amber, Rich taste This syrup has a pure, rich taste and a magnificent amber colouring. It’s ideal as an ingredient in vinaigrettes and all sorts of dishes and desserts. Dark, Robust taste This syrup, with its more pronounced, caramelized flavour, is well-suited for cooking, baking, and sauces. It’s celebrated for the way it enhances the taste of fruity dishes. Very Dark, Strong taste This syrup is the product of maple sap harvested at the end of the sugaring-off season. Its flavour, more pronounced than any of the previously-listed syrups, is rich and distinctive. It colours and perfumes sauces and glazes to perfection. Ingredients: Pure organic maple syrup
