Golden Color, Delicate Taste maple syrup is the gentle sweetheart of the syrup world. Its subtle sweetness makes it a fantastic glaze in cooking, and a great stand-in for sugar when you want a healthier swap without a big maple punch. Those that make the jump from Aunt Jemima or Log Cabin often fall in love with Golden first – it’s the perfect “welcome to real maple syrup” moment.
And a quick maple myth-buster: pure maple syrup grades aren’t about quality or nutrition – they’re simply a way to describe a syrup’s color and flavor personality. As maple sap is boiled down, natural sugar caramelization creates the different shades and tastes. Golden syrup usually shows up at the very start of the season, when the sap is sweetest and needs less boiling time, giving it that light color and delicate flavor everyone adores.
In the new maple syrup grading system, Golden Color, Delicate Taste has replaced Grade A Light Fancy.

About Our Maple Syrup
Harwood Gold maple syrup comes straight from the pure sap of our own sugar maple trees. We’re not officially certified organic, but our syrup is as clean and simple as it gets: no fillers, no preservatives, no surprises. We’ve been crafting pure maple syrup on our centennial farm in Charlevoix, Michigan since 1898, which means we’ve had well over a century to get really good at making liquid gold.
