Better for You

Maple is nature's purest sweetener. Nothing is added. No preservatives. No artificial colors or flavors. Maple syrup is one simple ingredient that is filled with essential nutrients, minerals, and antioxidants, and is the only sweetener that delivers manganese, vitamin B2, zinc, magnesium, calcium, and potassium in every drop.

The Source

Butternut Mountain Farm Maple Syrup starts in the forests of the Green Mountain State. Over the past 40 years we've built relationships with about 350 select sugarmakers - people whose stories we know and practices we respect. The farmers with whom we work understand maple and share our commitment to maintaining the health and sustainability of our forests, and are committed to making the highest quality syrup found in the world.

Perfect Taste

It's all Grade A. The classses of pure maple syrup are based on color and flavor. They do not relate to quality. The grades are meant to help identify the right flavor profile for the palate or recipe. As a rule, the darker the maple syrup color, the more robust the flavor.

Maple Makes it Memorable

Forget pancakes, there are a lot of great ways to get maple into your daily diet. We eat maple every day, often as an ingredient in entrees you might not expect. Maple syrup & maple sugar bake up very similarly to cane sugar. Substitute about ¾ the volume of cane sugar with maple syrup, and reduce the other liquids to accommodate for any extra liquid. In the case of maple sugar, a one-to-one substitution generally works just fine.

What is Pure Maple Syrup?

Pure maple syrup comes from trees, not cornfields. The mighty maple - a tree indigenous to North America that boasts dramatic fall color and sports that iconic leaf - is the source of this sweet elixir. Each spring “maple sugar makers” head out to the native woods of eastern North America to collect the maple tree’s sap. Through a careful process of collection, concentration and boiling, the sap is transformed into the richly flavored amber colored syrup of which we are all so fond – 100% pure maple syrup. Through our commitment to careful stewardship, we can harvest sap from the same trees for centuries without diminishing the resource.

Pure maple contains no preservatives, artificial colors or flavors. It is just one simple ingredient with nothing added. Pure maple syrup is entirely natural and essentially wild - a thoroughly wholesome sweetener straight from the forest to your table.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is the plastic 32 oz container BPA free
Answer:	Shipping weight is listed as 3# so you can safely assume that it is about 1.25kg (1250g) or slightly more or just under 2.9# dry weight. That includes the container, of course. Mine just came yesterday and we are getting ready to pour out some buckwheat pancakes: can't wait! This is by far the best I have found on Amazon and I have tried several. Just a biscuit corner dipped in it told me it was a step up above previous brands.
Question:	What is the difference between the dark and amber colored maple syrup? Flavor
Answer:	Pure maple syrup is not raw. It comes from the sap of Sugar Maple trees, which is unique to North America. Each spring “maple sugar makers” head out to the native woods of eastern North America to collect the maple tree’s sap. Through a careful process of collection and boiling, the sap is transformed into richly flavored pure maple syrup. To see how we make our maple syrup, visit our website at the following link: There is a neat little video at the bottom of the page. http://butternutmountainfarm.com/about/maple-source
Question:	What is the shelf life
Answer:	Our 100% Pure Maple Syrup is one simple ingredient - the sap of the North American Sugar Maple Tree. Nutrients naturally found in pure maple syrup, include zinc, potassium, manganese, thiamine, calcium, iron, magnesium, and riboflavin. Pure Maple Syrup is a pure natural sweetener, nothing is added. No preservatives. No flavorings. No artificial colors. The caloric value of maple syrup is 52 per tablespoon, compared to 60 in sugar and 64 in honey. Enjoy!
Question:	Should I put it in the refrigerator after opening the lid
Answer:	Here is what I found doing a Google search: For long term storage, the Association says that maple syrup retains its flavor best when kept in the freezer (it will not freeze solid). StillTasty.com indicates that 100 percent pure maple syrup should keep for a year unopened in the pantry, a year opened in the refrigerator, and indefinitely in the freezer.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this a Glass bottle
Answer:	This is a plastic bottle, not glass
Question:	Why does it have to be refrigerated after opening
Answer:	Refrigeration prolongs shelf life and prevents mold.
Question:	What oil is used as the defoamer
Answer:	This is not a question for end users. Pure maple syrup does not contain any oil as an ingredient. Google research indicates corn oil or canola oil, a minuscule amount, is often used, along with commercial preparations by sap harvesters/processors. Foaming does not necessarily happen when boiling sap, but when it does, it can also be skimmed.
Question:	Where are the trees that the maple dyrup is gathered
Answer:	Maple trees from over 3,000 small family farms in Vermont

The Craft of Maple Sugaring

Coombs Family Farms has produced pure maple syrup for seven generations by taking special care of our ancient sugar maple trees. As small family farmers, we understood there are no shortcuts producing great tasting maple syrup.

We farm our own land, produce organic maple syrup and package our own pure maple products. Coombs also sources maple syrup from over 3,000 small independent family farms that share our commitment to quality, environmental stewardship and sustainable forest management.

Small is a Big Idea

At Coombs Family Farms, we support small family farms because we believe they provide more than high quality food. They help restore those lost feelings of connection and meaning by providing opportunities for us to play a better role in determining where the foods we eat come from, how our food is produced, and how it gets to our table. Small farms also strengthen rural economies, preserve important ecosystems, and help to protect a way of life that is increasingly under threat.

Seven Generations of Stewardship

Since the mid-1800’s, the Coombs family has been acting as responsible stewards of the forest, following a ‘sustainable’ approach to agriculture long before anyone had a specific name for it – or could conceive of any other way to farm. As part of a fabric of nearly 8000 maple farmers who are all preserving maple forests, Coombs Family Farms is doing more than making maple. We are helping to preserve crucial habitat for thousands of distinct plants and animals that need large intact tracts of forest to survive.

Get Real - Taste the Truth

In 1887, the first breakfast syrup that wasn’t pure maple was introduced. It was made of 45% maple syrup and 55% corn syrup. Because it was less expensive than real maple syrup, it became an instant hit. By the 1990s, most imitation syrup brands had eliminated maple syrup from their products entirely, opting to use high fructose corn syrup (HFCS), artificial flavorings and artificial colors instead. As a result, labeling laws in the United States were enacted to prohibit artificial syrups from using the word maple in their names.

Small Maple Farmer Advocacy

There's nothing like the taste of 100% pure maple syrup, and at Coomb’s Family Farm, we have a long history of producing the best. We collect syrup from maple syrup producers throughout New England. This helps them maintain their family farms and helps our communities thrive while keeping this important lifestyle alive for future generations. Enjoy our products confident in the knowledge that you are enjoying the purest gluten-free, nut-free, non-GMO maple syrup you can buy.

Grade A Dark/Robust

With a color and maple flavor more intense than Amber/Rich, this versatile grade is great as a topping and for cooking. Its strong maple flavor also lends itself to meat glazes, cooking recipes, and on top of waffles, pancakes, or oatmeal.

Grade A Amber/Rich

Known for its smooth maple flavor and slightly darker than the Golden/Delicate grade. This distinctive taste is produced mid-season when the temperatures start to warm. Its unique and subtle flavor is most often used for table syrup.

Maple Sugar

Maple sugar is the secret ingredient for adding a touch of unique character, flavor and sweetness to your favorite foods and drinks. Sweet but interesting, and not as sweet as conventional sugar.

User questions & answers

Question:	I have Amazon Prime, will it still take 3-4 weeks to ship
Answer:	Prime shipping means little these days. Now it basically means that you should get it within a couple days AFTER it ships, whenever that may be.
Question:	So is this a blended syrup? I'd like pure grade B, as would most consumers who enjoy real maple flavor over sweetness. That's what dark brown sugar i
Answer:	Hi there ! So, from what I know it is a pure syrup but the bottle does not reflect that it is a grade B syrup anywhere. It just says it’s a dark maple syrup , Description says different on Amazon sellers post. So with that how do you know if it’s Grade A or B that you are really consuming as they are both similar in color and consistency.
Question:	Is this honest grade b or the trickery that seems to be going on calling it grade a dark? Thanks
Answer:	This is actually grade B. I was tricked into buying grade A dark garbage once too.
Question:	This syrup tastes very strongly of molasses. Was molasses added to get the dark color
Answer:	I did not taste molasses in mine and there is no indication of the presence of anything but maple on the list of ingredients that I have found. The product I have received is just delicious Very Dark / Grade B maple syrup.

Anderson's Pure Maple Syrup

Paul Anderson started Anderson’s Maple Syrup in 1928. He began by making syrup as a hobby, to put something sweet on the family’s breakfast table. When his son Norman was old enough, he began helping make syrup and eventually the two ran the business together. Paul and Norman grew the business and now, three generations later, Paul’s grandson, Norman’s son, Steve Anderson carries on the family tradition.

Anderson’s Maple Syrup is still a small, family-run business. With Steve heading up operations and sales, and his sister Christine in charge of food safety, Anderson family members are involved in every aspect of the business. Steve’s wife Alison and his children Ben and Mya actively help as support staff. The packaging and delivery of Anderson’s Maple Syrup is handled by a small group of dedicated employees. At 90 years old as of June 2018, Norman Anderson still plays an important role as mentor.

Pure Maple syrup

Pure Maple Syrup is made from the sap of a maple tree. In the spring the sap changes to a sweet mixture that brings the tree needed nutrients to waken it from its long winter of dormancy. This sweet solution brings needed nutrients to the whole tree, but especially to the buds that eventually turn into those wonderful maple leaf shapes that we all have come to know and love.

why should I use maple syrup instead of refined syrups?

Benefits of real maple syrup are far more comprehensive than you might expect. This natural sweetener features over 54 antioxidants that can help prevent damage caused by free radicals. Maple syrup features high levels of zinc and manganese, good for the heart and boosts the immune system.

User questions & answers

Question:	do you need to refrigerate after opening
Answer:	The coffee flavor is 130 calories for 2scoops in water. Chocolate is 180 calories.
Question:	Is Coombs maple syrup formaldehyde free
Answer:	You can have 1 scoop if you want to extend the coffee amount. However I tried doing it with 1 scoop and the flavor was really watered down. 2 scoops really does have a well balanced flavor and personally, I serve it with ice and shake it to mix. 2 scoops keeps the flavor once the ice melts and with 1 it just seems like odd tasting water after a while. That's just personal preference. I haven't tried 3 scoops, which on the bag it says you can but I feel like I would be vibrating with caffeine.
Question:	bpa-free container
Answer:	It comes out to be less than $2.50 Per serving which is roughly half the cost of a small premium sugary coffee at Starbucks. I call this a win win.
Question:	What is the difference between Grade A and Grade B
Answer:	I pretty sure they would be great since the consistency is similar to powered sugar....

User questions & answers

Question:	Can I use this maple syrup instead of hfcs in my pies? Especially pecan pie. I hate that hfcs crap
Answer:	According to America's Test Kitchen or Cooks Country, yes. One of those shows actually featured Mrs Abraham "Mary Todd" Lincolns' Pecan Pie Recipie. Of course in that time, there was no Karo or HFCS. Maple syrup, honey and molasses were the only "liquid" sugars available so... I'd recommend researching that recipie. She was a "Southern Belle" from Virginia and quite fond of Pecan Pie.
Question:	Do I need to refrigerate this after opening? Do I have to with all pure maple syrups
Answer:	It should be refrigerated after opening. Any pure maple syrup can mold if stored at room temperature. Just take it out of the refrigerator a while before you intend to use it.
Question:	what is the difference between Grade A & B maple syurp
Answer:	As of Jan 1, 2015, Vermont has adopted new international grading standards, and the new grades are as follows; Grade A Golden Color with Delicate Taste (formally “Grade A - Fancy”), Grade A Amber Color with Rich Taste (formally “Grade A - Medium Amber”) and Grade A Dark with Robust Taste (formally “Grade B”). If you are looking for formally “Grade B” syrup, it has been re-named “Grade A Dark Robust”. It is the same exact syrup, but with an updated name. You can see how the new grades map to the old Vermont grades on our About Our Syrup page at: https://www.hiddenspringsmaple.com/about-syrup
Question:	bpa free jug
Answer:	The jug does not specifically state BPA free, but the recycling code number stamped on the bottom is "2" so that means it is made of high density polyethylene. Any number between 1-6 is supposed to mean BPA free.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is the container BPA free
Answer:	The grade system is simply the color and taste difference; that is to say that grade A is not "better" than grade B. The A grade is lighter in color and flavor, and B grade is more robust and dark. Buy the one you like best! You can also make maple syrup at home if you have any maple trees, with a tree tapping kit sold here on Amazon. This is the time of year to tap your trees!

Question:	Is this organic
Answer:	It is gluten free.All of our meal replacement and protein powders contain whey protein, which is a milk derivative. However, our formulas use ultra refined whey protein isolates as their primary ingredient (approximately 75% of our protein blend), which contains very little lactose and typically does not affect lactose intolerant users. We recommend that you consult with your doctor to help determine if our products are a good fit for your nutritional regimen.

• BEWARE OF LESS EXPENSIVE IMITATORS - When it comes to maple syrup, you get what you pay for. You may have seen less expensive alternatives, but chances are, they are produced in Vermont which isn't nearly as flavourful and pure as Canadian maple syrups. A lower price may also indicate a supplier looking to clear out a burnt batch or last year's batch to avoid disposing of it.

User questions & answers

Question:	what is the shelf life
Answer:	Real maple syrup MUST be refrigerated after opening. This is the real deal, not the preservative filled imitation stuff, and if not refrigerated after opening it will mold. Remember, this is an actual real food product so it does need care that the fake food versions that fill the store shelves do not.
Question:	Are the white flake on the surface of the syrup normal, or is it fungus
Answer:	Hi there!We deeply apologize for the delay in responding to your question. If it is left open and not refrigerated, it will develop mold on the surface. But if kept in the fridge after opening that won't happen. Sometimes on the cap the sugar crystallizes and maybe that is the white flakes you are seeing. That is nothing to be concerned about.I hope that helps! - Your friends at IntraNaturals
Question:	Doesn't this company (Canadian Finest) make grade B maple syrup? I only see grade A on amazon
Answer:	Hi there, Binita!Thank you for contacting us. We completely understand the confusion and I'd be more than happy to clarify this for you.The syrup is actually the same as before but there is a new grade system we must follow. Everything is Grade A now and there is the additional classifier. "Grade A Dark" is the former Grade B.I hope that helps! Should you have more questions for us, please feel free to send us an email and we'd be more than happy to assist you further. :)Thanks again and have a good one!Regards,Your friends at IntraNaturals
Question:	What is the difference between grade a and grade b maple syrup? i need to buy for a gift
Answer:	Hi there, Nancy! The grade actually do not signify quality. They simply signify harvest time and darkness of the maple syrup. Grade B isn't lesser quality--it's darker, sweeter and fuller-bodied than the first run Grade A. Grade B maple syrup is made towards the end of the sugaring season as the weather warms toward spring and the maple trees endtheir winter dormancy. Grade B maple syrup is much darker in color and has a strong robust flavor. It's often more expensive and is preferred over Grade A for this reason.I hope that helps!- Your friends at IntraNaturals

User questions & answers

Question:	Is it organic
Answer:	We produce our syrup in accordance with organic practices but we do not pay the cost to certify and label our product as organic. Our syrup is from sap from sugar maple trees in a wild, natural forest with no pesticides, preservatives, or additives used. We adhere to very conservative forestry practices.
Question:	Can you microwave the container
Answer:	Coombs interview in January 2019 stated since the "spray" can is completely sealed from airborne germs IT CAN SIT ON THE KITCHEN TABLE FOREVER. As a chemist, I can understand the need for refrigeration once any syrup or foodstuff is opened to airborne bacteria/mold. The only way to stop this degradation is to VACUUM SEAL THE FOODSTUFF once you've opened/eaten some of it. That is precisely what the Maple Spray can is -- IT'S SEALED. Therefore, no need to refrigerate, or fear spoilage. PERIOD.
Question:	Is it grade B? confused
Answer:	The label indicates that the bottle contains 100% pure maple syrup free from artificial flavorings, preservatives or dyes. I have been using this brand for 3 years and am satisfied with the product. I would recommend you try it.
Question:	I ordered the grade a robust dark as it is now called...formerly it was Grade B. But no where on this bottle i recieved does it say robust dark...so
Answer:	I don't see BPA free on the container, but the recycle code is 2 HDPE. On researching the BPA, I found that if the recycle code is 3 or above, BPA could be used in production of the container, recycle 1 and 2 do not have BPA.Elaine B.
