Maple Syrup Reviews?

I don't know of a good one, but I overheard a man at the grocery store telling someone that grade B
maple syrup was better than grade A because it had more of a maple flavor. He said they add more sugar to grade A. I hope this helps

Dakin Farms sells Vermont maple syrup which is delicious. You can go online at dakinfarms.com and order it. I originally ordered some and then, while visiting in Vermont, bought several quarts to bring back home.

I hate to tell you that whoever you were talking to knows nothing about maple syrup.

Grade: Fancy = best for eating - delicate flavor
A = good for eating - a little stronger flavor
B = For cooking only - dark - strong flavor
which allows the flavor to hold up in
cooking - like adding to muffins or cake

Note : the man in the grocery store doesn't know what he is talking about. Nothing (no sugar) is added to real maple syrup.

Grade: Fancy = light color -delicate flavor = is made
in the first few days of syrup making -in early
spring
A = a little darker - a little stronger flavor

A good desert - Rag Muffins
