Dark Color, Robust Taste maple syrup brings big maple energy. It’s bold, rich, and full of those deep caramel vibes that make your kitchen smell like a cozy sugarhouse. It shines in cooking and baking, swooping in as a deliciously better-for-you stand-in for brown sugar in almost any recipe.
Pure maple syrup grades aren’t about quality or nutrition – they just describe the syrup’s color and flavor personality. As maple sap boils, the sugars naturally caramelize, deepening both hue and taste. Dark syrup usually appears toward the end of the season, when the sap’s sugar content drops and needs a longer boil. More simmer time = more flavor drama. The result? A darker, richer, wonderfully intense maple syrup that’s ready to steal the show.
In the new maple syrup grading system, Dark Color Robust Taste has replaced Grade B maple syrup.

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.
