Mount Mansfield Maple “The Maple Block”

This block is made from just pure organic Vermont maple syrup—that’s it. As maple syrup connoisseurs, we adore the rich stuff from Vermont’s Mount Mansfield Maple: a family farm that harvests maple sap from over 1,000 acres of well-cared-for maple trees. This maple block is essentially a large cube of maple sugar candy, which is made by boiling maple sap past the point of syrup until it crystallizes into hard sugar. The taste is sweet, maple-forward with light caramelized notes. To use, simply grate a pile of sweet flakes that can be swirled into coffee or tea, top meats for the grill and, of course, enhance all kinds of desserts.

Place of Origin: Vermont, U.S.A.[/accordions-break]While it may be new to you, the maple block has a history that spans centuries. [/banner_heading]In the 1800s, it was the preferred way to preserve and store maple syrup. By boiling the tree sap beyond the point of making syrup, the sugars would become further concentrated, more shelf-stable and easier to transport.[/banner-text-break]Simply grate this maple sugar as you would a wedge of Parmesan cheese. Use the maple sugar shavings to top autumnal desserts like Maple-Whiskey Pudding Cakes or our Pumpkin Tart. We especially love it on ice cream, pancakes and anywhere else you might be inclined to add a splash of maple syrup or top with sugar crystals. [/how-to-use-break] ​KITCHEN NOTES
