From tree to table

Maple season is one of Canada's sweetest traditions, from the first spring tap to warm maple taffy rolled on fresh snow. Here's how that liquid gold gets to your table!

  1. Step 1: Tap the trees

    In early spring, freezing nights and sunny days get the sap flowing in sugar maples. Producers tap the trees for just a few short weeks.

  2. Step 2: Collect the sap

    Fresh sap is clear and only lightly sweet, almost like water, so it takes a whole lot of it.

  3. Step 3: Boil it down

    The sap simmers for hours until most of the water is gone. It takes about 40 litres of sap to make just 1 litre of maple syrup!

  4. Step 4: Grade and bottle

    The finished syrup is graded by colour and taste, from delicate Golden to strong Very Dark, then bottled up for your pancakes.

  • 40 L of sap for every litre of maple syrup
  • About 70% of the world's maple syrup is made in Canada
  • 4 to 6 weeks of sugaring season each spring

Find your grade

Canadian maple syrup is graded by colour and taste. Lighter syrup is delicate and darker syrup is bold. Which one is yours?

  • I bought a beautiful Maple Leaf in made from the old rooftop of the Parliament buildings. What a fantastic idea. It is very tasteful and it was so perfect my wife had me order another for her. Shipped fast and exactly what I ordered. Thank you, I actually think you are priced to low for a keepsake like this.

  • Wonderful purchase of Maple Leaf Pins partially made from the old copper roof of Canada's Parliament Buildings. Each one is a little unique and they make a special gift. Part of the proceeds is also donated. Ordering and delivery could not have been smoother.

  • Such an amazing place to get so many made in Canada items! My go to for gift giving. It is more important than ever to support Canadian and Makerhouse makes it easy and fun. My milk jug is beautiful! It’s a great way to get peace by chocolate, and so many excellent cards.

  • Well this was definitely our favourite gift shop in Ottawa. Like most big cities, they're flooded with cheap junk made from poor countries with materials that will fall apart in no time. But this place is different. It's high quality. Canadian made from what I seen. And great selection.

Good to know

Maple questions, answered

Is this real Canadian maple syrup?

Yes! Our maple syrups come from Canadian producers in Quebec and Ontario. Kinsip's syrups are aged in whisky or rum barrels for extra flavour, and every product page lists its exact ingredients.

What's the difference between Golden, Amber, Dark and Very Dark?

It's all about colour and taste! Golden is delicate, Amber is rich, Dark is robust and Very Dark is strong. Lighter syrups are lovely for drizzling, while darker ones shine in cooking and baking.

How should I store maple syrup?

Keep unopened syrup somewhere cool and dark, then pop it in the fridge once it's open.

Is maple syrup gluten-free and vegan?

Pure maple syrup is naturally gluten-free and dairy-free, and many of our syrups are vegan too. Each product page lists its dietary details so you can shop with confidence.

Can you ship maple syrup across Canada?

Absolutely! We pack every bottle with care in Ottawa and ship anywhere in Canada. You'll find all the details in our Shipping Policy.
