St. Lawrence Gold 1st Tapped Maple Syrup

St Lawrence Gold 1st Tapped Maple Syrup is a special limited-edition release, a first in the UK market, capturing the very earliest tapping of the season from Quebec, Canada. Classified as Canada Grade A Golden with a delicate taste, this syrup carries a lighter, more refined flavour than later harvests, with subtle notes that some describe as vanilla and creme caramel. Winner of a Two Star Great Taste Award in 2023, it has earned a devoted following, with enthusiasts calling it the champagne of maple syrups.

What makes it special is timing. As winter turns to spring, in the brief window locals call sugar weather, the maples are tapped for the first time and their sap yields this distinctively pale, gentle syrup. Sourced from the top maple farms of the Bas-Saint-Laurent region, every bottle is made with care, tradition, and 100% pure Canadian maple, with nothing else added. The packaging, including the cap, is fully recyclable.

Its lighter, more delicate profile suits more refined uses beautifully. Drizzle it over salads, granola, and desserts, pour it over French toast topped with bananas for a decadent brunch, or use it to add a subtle sweet dash to meat, fish, and plant-based dishes. Approved by The Vegan Society and suitable for vegetarians and vegans, it is a genuinely special syrup for those who appreciate finesse over intensity.
