Guest guest Posted August 7, 2002 Report Share Posted August 7, 2002 Hi everyone, I've been looking for another source for maple syrup and went to Northeast Maple Products (877)698-4071 http://www.northeastmaple.com which I think someone on this site had recommended. Found out there are actually 3 grades of Grade A syrup: To quote from their site: " The sap usually begins to run in March, and is initially Grade A Fancy, which is the lightest in color with a sweet, delicate maple flavor. As the season progresses, the syrup becomes darker in color with a more pronounced maple flavor. Grade A Medium Amber is excellent on pancakes, waffles, French toast, vanilla ice cream, etc. Grade A dark Amber is good in cooking recipes. Due to requests from our customers, we now offer Grade B Syrup as well. " I contected Danny the owner and he doesn't use formaldehyde. To quote his reply to me: " , I do not use formaldahyde and will never use this pill. My product is pure nothing is added to it. Danny " Anyhow he offered to send me samples of each of the 3 grades free as long as I'd pay for shipping--so next week I'll get to do a taste comparison test, yum. Just thought some of you might be interested. -- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Costco carries it, very reasonable. I don't know if it fits the NT parameters ... do they ever spray maple trees? I think they are half gallon jugs. -- Heidi > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somewhere I remember a discussion where it was said that large maple syrup producers clean their hose lines out with formaldehyde periodically. If thats the case you need to ask the producer if this is their practice.Being in New England, known for it's maple syrup production if I could use it without getting inside hypoglycemic shakes I'd buy it at a higher price from small, local roadside producers.Would be careful of organic or natural label too as it's possible they're only considering the product and not the processing practices.
