The flavor of Vermont maple syrup is unique; it is the same now as it has been for centuries. Sugarmakers of today grade the syrup according to Vermont law.
Fancy is the lightest color, and most delicate flavor.
Grade A medium amber is darker and has a more pronounced maple flavor.
Grade B is the strongest and darkest (table grade) maple syrup.
All of
the grades are the same thickness and all are delicious.
