Question 3

Which Grade is the sweetest maple syrup

Accepted Answer

I puchashed this syrup for my daughter for her birthday. I personally don’t have any knowledge about maple syrup. This is a Grade A syrup, so I thought it might be good. I hope this helps.   From the internet, I found the following:
A Guide To Maple Syrup Grades

Maple syrup can be pretty pricey, so you’d better be sure you know what you’re in for when you splurge on a bottle. Between all the grades and shades of maple syrup out on the market (not to mention the imposters!), it can all get a little confusing. But we’re here to guide you to the best bottle for your taste.

First things first: Always make sure your maple syrup is “maple” syrup. The good, pure stuff comes from maple trees, whose starch is converted to sugar between winter and spring, resulting in sweet, runny sap. That sap is boiled down to make syrup — and it’s boiled down far more than you may imagine. For example: At Baker’s Maple in Bainbridge, NY, every 39 gallons of sap make just 1 gallon of maple syrup. Now do you understand why a jug of syrup is so expensive?

Pure maple syrup is not to be confused with “breakfast syrups” or “pancake syrups” like Aunt Jemima, or basically anything you get at diners and fast food restaurants. Those aren’t made from maple sap at all, but from high fructose corn syrup flavored with an aromatic compound called sotolon, which contains the scent of fenugreek, curry and burnt, caramelized sugar. American labeling laws prevent these imitations from carrying the word “maple” on their labels, but people are still fooled nonetheless.

Canada, which produces more than 80 percent of the world’s maple syrup, uses its own classification system. There are three grades: Canada #1, including Extra Light (sometimes known as AA), Light (A), and Medium (B); #2 Amber (C); and #3 Dark (D).

The United States has a different system, divided into two major grades: Grade A and Grade B. Grade A is considered the premiere type that’s meant for eating, while Grade B is so dark that it’s generally only used for cooking or baking. Grade A is broken into three subgrades, which are measured by their translucence: Light Amber, Medium Amber and Dark Amber.

The state of Vermont, which produces 5 percent of the world’s maple syrup, actually has its own separate grading system that utilizes slightly higher standards of product density. Vermont inspectors enforce strict syrup grading regulations, and can fine producers for falsely advertising their product as maple syrup.
