It’s Natural—Maple producers collect sap from the tree and boil it to remove water to concentrate the sugars and other substances produced by the maple trees. Producers who tend the maple forest rarely use pesticides and fertilizers. So what you consume in Pure Maple is what the tree has produced from sunlight and soil.
Great Flavor—Pure Maple syrup is a unique and complex collection of natural flavors, one of which is the distinct maple flavor. And each Pure Maple syrup has slightly different flavors reflecting a unique combination of plant, growing location, and processing artistry.
Health Advantages—Although Pure Maple contains mostly natural sugars, minerals like calcium and antioxidants with potential health advantages are also present.
Frost Valley is a member of Pure Catskills, a Buy Local campaign with the goal to protect clean drinking water for 9 million New Yorkers. Because they grow and harvest crops as part of a world-renowned innovative partnership focusing on healthy, working farmland and the water protection practices it takes to keep streams and reservoirs safe. Buying local means you are supporting a New York business, a community, or your neighbors and contributes to our food security while keeping your money closer to home.
Sustainable Forestry—Forests naturally filter our water supply. They store carbon which helps to combat global warming; and provide habitat for many plants and animals, helping to preserve biodiversity. Maple sugaring allows you to appreciate a small part of the value of the forest as part of your daily meals while helping to sustain this natural resource.
