Looking through some of my dynamic sources, I found that there has been a recent clarification on the different grades of maple syrup. Being a very local statewide business maple syrup is a staple to Vermont. There used to be Grade A and Grade B maple syrup, along with all the fake stuff too. Helping out all of us interested folks understand the new levels of grading maple syrup, the Woodstock Farmer's Market posted on their blog a helpful page of information:
Note that just because the Vermont Maple Sugar Makers Association is starting to change over the maple syrup grading system it does not in anyway change the content of the maple syrup. It is the exact same quality that we all know and love, it is just organized and labelled differently now! This classification is meant to specify what the consumer is buying and organize the different tastes maple syrup may have based on environmental influences such as dirt and tree. Maple syrup can be found across the state but don't forget to check out your local farmers' market for some locally produced maple syrup!
