The Milligan’s Maple Syrup Process involves several key steps: harvesting maple sap, collecting and filtering the sap, removing water from sap through reverse osmosis, boiling our sap to the correct sugar density and viscosity through our evaporator, extensively filtering our syrup through the use of a filter press and diatomaceous earth, and finally grading and bottling the finished maple syrup.

Grade A maple syrup is generally lighter in color and has a milder, more delicate flavor, making it ideal for pancakes, waffles, and everyday use. Grade A pure maple syrup is made in the beginning of the production season up until the final sap runs. On the other hand, Grade B syrup is darker and richer in flavor, perfect for cooking and baking where a more intense robust maple taste is desired. Grade B pure maple syrup is made during the final sap runs of the harvest season.

Unopened maple syrup should be stored in a cool, dark place such as a pantry to maintain its quality. Once opened, it is best to refrigerate the syrup to preserve its freshness and prevent mold growth. If your syrup crystallizes, you can simply heat it gently in a warm water bath to dissolve the crystals, ensuring it remains smooth and pourable.
