The Maple Guild recently launched its Organic Maple Vinegar, a unique premium condiment made from naturally fermented sap from Vermont Maple trees. The vinegar can be used in similar ways to balsamic vinegar, such as in a salad dressing, where its sweeter and less sharp flavor can be appreciated.
At this year's Natural Products Expo West, The Maple Guild's Organic Maple Vinegar received the New Hope NEXTY Award for Best New Condiment.
In the past year, record harvests of maple syrup have inspired maple product producers to come up with new products that show maple syrup as more than just a sweetener. At the same time, consumer interest in naturally fermented foods is rising, making this new condiment the perfect convergence of forward-thinking ideas.
