Cosman & Webb Pure Organic Maple Syrup

Tasting notes of the Curator

This is maple syrup with poise. The first spoonful lands soft and silken, a smooth, buttery texture that coats the palate without ever turning cloying. Caramel and vanilla notes lead the way, opening into gentle suggestions of wildflower honey and warm spice as the amber gloss lingers. There’s a clarity to the sweetness—clean, steady, confident—thanks to the way Cosman & Webb bottle a single-forest, unblended expression, letting one sugar bush speak in its own voice. The finish is long and comforting, like toasted sugars cooling on a baker’s rack, and versatile enough to move from morning stacks to evening cocktails with equal grace. It’s the kind of pantry luxury that makes simple things taste intentional: a drizzle over thick yogurt, a brush on roasted squash, a final gleam on a slice of buttered sourdough.

Pairings & Suggestions

Breakfast classics: Drizzle over pancakes, waffles, or brioche French toast; fold into oatmeal with toasted nuts.

Savory shine: Brush on roast carrots, kabocha, or sweet potatoes; glaze salmon or roast chicken for caramelized edges.

Cheese moment: Spoon over fresh ricotta or young chèvre with walnuts; add a pinch of flaky salt.

Dressings & marinades: Whisk with Dijon and apple cider vinegar for a bright vinaigrette; balance soy, ginger, and garlic for a lacquered stir-fry or grilled pork.

Bakes & desserts: Sweeten pecan pie, maple custards, or drizzle warm over vanilla ice cream and buttered crêpes.

In the glass: Stir into an Old Fashioned (rye loves maple), or shake with lemon for a silky whiskey sour.

From a Single Forest in the Eastern Townships

Cosman & Webb has tended a traditional, biodiverse sugar bush in southern Quebec since 1977—now a second-to-third-generation labor of care. The farm taps and crafts 100% pure syrup to certified-organic standards, sustainably gathering sap and bottling an unblended, single-forest expression that preserves terroir and character. Their flagship Amber Rich Taste (formerly Canada No. 1 Medium; now Grade A Amber) captures balance: luminous color, refined sweetness, and a clean, lingering finish. It’s maple made simply—no additives, no shortcuts—just the forest translated into amber.

Storage Instructions

Store unopened bottles in a cool, dark cupboard. After opening, always refrigerate; pure maple syrup lacks enough sugar to be shelf-stable at room temperature. Keep tightly sealed and enjoy at its best within the year.
