Very Dark with Strong Taste

You might consider Very Dark pure maple syrup as a flavoring before a sweetener (though it is, of course, plenty sweet) – if you’re whipping up a maple bread, baked beans, or some homemade BBQ sauce, Very Dark syrup will give you the flavor you’re looking for. As with every grade of maple syrup, there’s only one rule that dictates which is best: whichever one tastes best to you.
