Birch Syrup

Description

From old traditions, comes a rare and unique product – Birch Syrup! Pure & naturally gluten free, vegan, naturally low in sugar. Sustainably harvested near the shores of Lake Winnipeg, from a forest intermixed with wild plums, high bush cranberries, chokecherries and wild raspberries, that form a symbiotic relationship to the trees and add to the flavour profile!

While Birch Syrup is extracted and produced much like Maple Syrup, and is extremely high in nutrients and antioxidants, that’s where the similarities end! It takes 150 litres of birch sap to make one litre of syrup (maple is a 40:1 ratio), the resulting syrup has about half the sugar content of maple. If you keep it refrigerated, it will last a very long time (unless you enjoy it a lot); a little goes a long way!

Amber Birch Syrup (100 ml) is a deep red colour, with a robust fruitiness and a tart, citrus note. Due to its flavour complexity, it makes a great complement to meat, fish, game, veggies, fruit…excellent as a dressing/topping, baking ingredient, and even better as a marinade! Birch is a culinary syrup valued for lending flavour dimension to whole foods, recipes and cocktails; of course, you can always add sweetness if it is desired!

Birch For Breakfast Syrup (250 ml) is the sweet relative that pairs well with your pancakes, waffles, breakfast cereal – and may still be used in sauces and marinades. This is made from the early season (and shorter supply) Gold Syrup, with only water & sugar added. While it is sweeter, it still carries the fruity flavour profile, with slightly less sugar content than regular Maple Syrup.
