RUGGED RIDGE FOREST Maple Syrup

RUGGED RIDGE FOREST Maple Syrup

We only use wood fires to make our maple syrup! The high-heat caramelization and light smokiness of the wood fire produces the BEST tasting maple syrup in the world!

Evaporating our maple syrup over a wood fire is not the easiest way to concentrate sap, but we feel strongly that it’s the best; it is sustainable, carbon neutral, and the way maple syrup has been made for centuries. It also forces us to spend more time in our woods culling diseased trees, maintaining trails, and observing the health and beauty of our sugarbush. Instead of relying on energy stored millions of years ago in fossil fuels, we cultivate and utilize the rich energy reserves of the forest to sweeten the syrup in our bottles. Again, the high-heat caramelization and light smokiness of the wood fire imparts a certain "je ne sais quoi" to our maple syrup that isn't overpowering — it just tastes better!
