Birch syrup


$16.99

115 ml

Birch syrup is a fine and rare product. It is made in the same way as maple syrup, but by boiling birch sap rather than maple sap for a long time. To make a syrup, you need about 4 times more (!) birch sap than maple sap. The result, however, is remarkable: a dark, creamy syrup, with rich and complex aromas and flavors.

To the taste, it is reminiscent of a more complex caramel or molasses, with woody notes and a slight acidity bringing it closer to a balsamic vinegar reduction.

Flavor Pairings

Birch syrup pairs well with ginger, fennel, beetroot, mustard, and cheeses like mozzarella, ricotta, and mascarpone. It’s delicious with berries (especially strawberries and blueberries) and on ice cream.

Preparation

Because of its rarity and its more pronounced taste than maple syrup, birch syrup is used sparingly, usually as a finishing touch. You can add a drizzle at the end of cooking on sautéed wild mushrooms, asparagus, or other fresh vegetables. Its sugar-acidity balance allows it to be used in the composition of excellent vinaigrettes. It is of course delicious with berries and more characterful desserts, as well as on vanilla ice cream. It can also be used in combination with another sweetener to lend its more full-bodied taste to cocktails.

Conservation

We recommend storing your birch syrup like your maple syrup: in the refrigerator, in an airtight container. It will keep for several months after opening - but you will have finished it before that! A bit like maple syrup, you may notice a little crystallization of the sugar - this is a natural phenomenon.

We are transforming local culinary culture

to put North back on the plate

The North,

It is the land here that nourishes us, from the forests to the fields to the Saint-Lawrence. It is our connection to the cycle of the seasons.

It is a community of farmers, fishermen and artisans who put their know-how at the service of our food and our gourmet pleasures.

In return, we highlight the fruit of their work through the exceptional condiments that we create and our selection of local products, in a spirit of short supply chain and respect for the environment
