Each year in Canada, deep in the forests of Québec, a remarkable natural event takes place as maple sap, frozen solid over the long, cold winter, starts to thaw… and the maple tapping season begins.
Thousands of producers collect the sap from maple trees and boil the liquid to make pure maple syrup, a 100% natural sweetener with a high-quality taste and a versatile range of uses.
Unrefined and unprocessed, pure Canadian maple syrup is ideal for brunches, baking and barbecues, imparting the flavour of Canada’s iconic ingredient into a multitude of dishes, free from artificial additives or flavourings.
Maple syrup comes in four different styles and colours, each one having its own characteristics and taste.
Maple from Canada is the official UK website and brand for Québec Maple Syrup Producers (QMSP).
Québec supplies 72% of the world’s maple syrup and is home to more than 13,300 maple syrup producers.
Founded in 1966, QMSP represents producers and works to regulate prices and quality, and to negotiate fair trade deals, as well as promoting maple products on an international stage.
