Pure
maple syrup is sold by grades established by the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture.
It is graded by color and flavor. The difference between grades
is a matter of taste preference--not quality.
New York Grade A Light Amber --a very light, amber colored syrup with a mild, delicate maple taste.
New York Grade A Medium Amber --a medium amber colored syrup with a moderate, fuller maple flavor.
New York Grade A Dark Amber --the darkest of the three Grade A classifications. This syrup has a strong, robust maple flavor.
New York Extra Dark for Cooking --a very dark color and very strong maple flavor, considered excellent for cooking or flavoring.
