“An essential ingredient and great source of pleasure too… With maple, I sweeten just a little, but I sweeten better!”

“I’m so proud that we produce this in Québec. It’s a gift from nature. No workers are exploited, no ecosystem harmed. I love maple. It’s unrefined, unlike so many other sweeteners, and it’s also a source of many nutrients…”
“I love the versatility of maple, from my morning oatmeal or on my pancakes to the vinaigrette for my salad, right to dessert. Sometimes I’ll take a shot of pure syrup during a lengthy sport activity. I’m an especially big fan of granola, and I always make mine with maple syrup.”
