What is the difference between pure maple syrup from Vermont and maple syrup from other states?
All pure Vermont maple syrup must meet exacting standards for color, density and flavor. It can be pulled off the shelf and tested at any time by a Vermont state inspector. No other state enforces and protects maple quality like Vermont. To remain competitive, Vermont producers need to produce consistently high quality, properly graded syrup. Vermont sugarmakers are also very aware that they are carrying on a long, proud tradition of excellence.
