Where is your maple syrup produced?
Maple Joe® maple syrup is harvested in the world’s largest maple producing region, the maple forests of Canada. These are situated for the most part in the province of Quebec which supplies close to 71% of global production.
When is the harvest period?
Sugaring off time varies from year to year according to the temperature and the region but generally it begins at the end of February or beginning of March and runs until the end of April or the beginning of May. So it usually lasts 8 to 10 weeks.
How long does maple syrup keep?
You can go by the best before date printed on each product and the notice telling you if the product must be refrigerated after opening or not. Maple syrup, with the seal intact, can be stored a minimum of 3 years before opening.

What is maple syrup made of?

What’s in maple syrup?
Maple syrup is made up of 68% carbohydrates of which 80% is sucrose. Other sugars found in maple syrup include glucose and fructose. It also provides 100 essential nutritional elements such as minerals, vitamins, amino acids, phytohormones and 67 polyphenols.
What factors determine syrup’s colour, flavour and clarity?
Syrup colour is determined by the time of harvest. There are four syrup classifications including golden, amber, dark and very dark. Golden is the clearest: it has a more delicate flavour and is harvested at the start of the season. Amber has a richer flavour. Syrup labelled dark has a more robust, almost caramelized flavour. Very dark syrup is harvested at the end of the season which gives it an even more pronounced maple taste than the other categories.
Are there any additives in pure maple syrup?
Maple Joe® maple syrup is 100% pure. It’s natural, non-refined, sterile, gluten free and completely of vegetable origin. It contains no coloring, no artificial flavors and no preservatives. It’s made with a single ingredient, namely 100% pure maple syrup.
Do our products contain any allergens?
