Pure Vermont Maple Syrup
What it is
This is 100% pure maple syrup, sourced directly from the maple trees of Vermont. It is a natural sweetener derived from the sap of sugar maple trees. The sap is tapped, collected, and then boiled down to concentrate its sugars and develop its characteristic flavor and color. This syrup is a single ingredient product, meaning no additives or artificial flavors are included. It represents a traditional and authentic way to enjoy the sweetness of maple.
