Maple Sugar

Also made in nugget form, this unique product replaces, in equal quantity, refined sugars in your recipes. Maple sugar’s distinctive yet delicate flavour goes well in both sweet and savoury preparations as it does in coffee and tea, of course.

Though its history is long, maple sugar is still relatively little-known to manyconsumers. It is made by boiling maple syrup and then cooling it at specific temperatures, followed by filtration to create crystals.

Maple sugar comes in a range of granularities, from the fine texture of icing sugar to nuggets and chunks. It is also compressed into blocks ready to be
grated. Today that is called Hard or Block maple sugar, country sugar or sucre d’habitant, like in the old days. Below, you can see examples of maple
sugar in different particle sizes.
