Our syrup comes from a mixed grove of trees, giving it a character all its own. The result is a one-of-a-kind flavor with notes of \u003cem\u003evanilla, butterscotch, and marshmallow\u003c\/em\u003e.  It is rich, smooth, and unlike ordinary maple syrup.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWe make fewer than 200 bottles each year, and every step is done by hand (from collection to processing to bottling) in our sugar shack, hand-built from reclaimed wood from an old dairy barn in upstate New York.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOur process is just as distinctive as the flavor.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWe begin by removing much of the water from the sap with reverse osmosis, then boil it partway into a rich concentrate and begin the caramelization. At that stage, minerals naturally begin to separate out as niter, also known as sugar sand.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNext, we cold-crash the concentrate for a week or more below 40 degrees F, a technique borrowed from cider making and small-batch fermentation. This allows the niter to settle slowly and gently by gravity so it can be removed before the final boil.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThen we decant the clarified concentrate back into the boiler and fire finish it. With most of the niter removed, the syrup boils more evenly, allowing deeper caramelization and the development of clean, nuanced, exceptionally smooth flavor.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis is not mass-produced syrup.
