Description:
Tapping tree species other than maple and boiling the sap provides syrup producers the opportunity to apply their skills, and capitalize on their existing equipment, to expand into new and potentially lucrative markets. Just as bourbon barrel aged and various flavor infused syrups are opening new markets for maple syrup, the unique tastes of alternative tree syrups, and their maple blends, are finding a place in today’s regional food economy.
