Did you know maple syrup’s colour class isn’t decided by simply looking at the bottle? 🍁

Under Canada’s grading standards, maple syrup colour classes are determined by the percentage of light that passes through the syrup. This helps classify it as Golden, Amber, Dark or Very Dark. Each Ontario Grade A class also has its own flavour profile, from Golden’s delicate taste to the strong maple taste of Very Dark.

The classes aren’t a ranking of quality. They help you choose the colour and flavour that best suit your personal preference or recipe. Which class is your favourite?

What does “pure maple syrup” really mean? 🍁

It means the syrup begins as sap collected from maple trees and is concentrated to create its natural sweetness, colour and distinct maple flavour. Unlike imitation pancake syrups, pure maple syrup gets its character from maple sap—not from added flavouring designed to taste like maple.

Why does that matter? Choosing pure Ontario maple syrup means enjoying an authentic agricultural product with a direct connection to local producers, maple forests and generations of sugarmaking tradition.

From tree to table, every bottle tells a uniquely Ontario story. Have you checked the label on your syrup lately?
