Thomas Jefferson , the third president of the United States, obtained Maple seeds from Vermont and planted a grove at his Monticello home in Virginia. One of these trees can still be found there. The flavor of Pure Vermont Maple Syrup is the same now as it has been for centuries. However, the sugarmakers of today grade the syrup according to Vermont law. Vermont Fancy is the lightest in color and most delicate in flavor.
All grades are of the same thickness and all are delicious.
Vermont Maple is a completely natural product containing nutritionally important Minerals, Amino Acids, Vitamins and Carbohydrates for energy. When exposed to the air in a warm climate, it will sometimes ferment. It should be born in mind that fermented Maple syrup is not spoiled as is the case with canned fruit or vegetables. It may be restored by reheating to the boiling point and skimming.
