Amber maple syrup is known to have a stronger flavor than its golden counterpart, as well as a richer maple flavor that makes it ideal for adding to foods.
Sabatino Tartufi's Truffle-Infused Maple Syrup builds off of the sweet and subtle flavors of amber maple syrup with earthy summer truffles, creating a luxurious reimagining of a familiar tabletop condiment. As the brand suggests, the infused maple syrup makes a perfect addition to everything from porridge and meats to vegetables and mixed drinks.
Many maple syrup producers are now helping consumers to see the condiment beyond pancakes, waffles and the breakfast category. Beyond unique ingredient infusions, some other examples of this movement can be seen in smoked and savory maple syrup products.
