John Filliol, Dark Robust Maple Syrup

Strong and robust, slightly smokey maple flavour that appears upfront and stays for the entire mouth experience. Peanut brittle, caramel, flan, and muscovado sugar swirl on the palate.

A great robust table syrup that stands out with foods, from barbecuing to yoghurts and ice cream.

What is traditional open bucket collection method?

Open bucket collection is a time-honored method that allows sap to be gathered directly on the tree, imparting traditional character and a more complex flavour than modern tubing systems. This artisanal approach is rarely used in commercial production today, making each bottle a rare and authentic treat.

What does slow-boiled mean?

Slow-boiled maple syrup is made by gently simmering maple sap for hours, allowing flavors to deepen naturally, in contrast to modern methods like reverse osmosis that pre-concentrate the sap and shorten the process.

Storage Advice: Maple syrup can be stored for many months or years in the right conditions (ideally a cool, dark spot). Each bottle is labeled with a recommended 'best by' date for your confidence. Once opened, we recommend storing in the refrigerator and consuming within 4 months.
