Best Maple Syrups | Find Out Which Five Won Our Hearts

After much taste testing, we finally found our favorite maple syrups. Find out which ones we thought were the five best maple syrups in the region.

In March 2008, our panel sampled 19 bottles of maple syrup from all over New England. The names of the producers were hidden. We tend to think of Vermont when we think of maple syrup and sugar shacks, but in the end, it was all New Hampshire producers who won our hearts and our tastebuds.

And the WINNERS are…
