Sugar and Syrup

Original Escuminac syrup is a dark syrup produced at the end of the harvest. Intensely dark, it is purely delicious. With notes of rye, caramel and roasted sugar, it is perfect for your recipes; use it in simmered dishes, pastries or to spice up your salad dressings.

In Canada, maple syrup is available in five different categories. The main grading criterion is the colour, expressed in terms of the degree of light transmission. The later the harvest, the darker the syrup; it also becomes less complex, and has a more pronounced caramel flavour.

Escuminac main harvest syrup is the most popular in our range because it is readily available but also because of its complex and mild mouthfeel. This Canada Grade A maple syrup is both extra fine and richly flavored. It's aromatic profile brings to mind warm, buttered brown sugar, date purée, English toffee and green anise with a subtle hint of curry. Flavorful, it is full-bodied, rounded, textured, distinct and syrupy, but not overwhelming, and has a very long finish. A grand cru!

Escuminac amber, a richly-flavoured syrup, is produced in very small quantities, making it rare. Golden in colour with bright highlights, it is the finest in our range of products. Produced exclusively with sap harvested during the first days of the sap run, rare Escuminac amber is an exceptional syrup with a smooth, velvety texture. It is light in the mouth, featuring a subtle caramel and honeysuckle bouquet with a hint of cinnamon and a lingering flavour.
