Websterville, VT, March 5, 1998 -- Highland Sugarworks, Inc., producer and packer of the world's finest pure maple syrup, announces that Cook's Illustrated agrees: Highland Sugarworks is simply the best tasting maple syrup! The April 1998 issue of the magazine reports the results of a taste test in which Highland Sugarworks Grade B pure Vermont maple syrup beat out everyone else's Grade A! Tasters' comments included "great maple flavor" and "tastes real." We can only imagine how well our Grade A would have done!

Grade B maple syrup certainly has a stronger flavor than Grade A. It is perfectly suitable for a table syrup, and really great for cooking. In 1997, Highland Sugarworks introduced Cooking Maple, which is the same Grade B that won the taste test in Cook's Illustrated. Though we market Cooking Maple as an ingredient, we make sure to point out on the label that it's also delicious on pancakes and waffles. (Vermonter have known this secret for generations.)

This spring, Highland Sugarworks is celebrating our 13th sugaring season. We pride ourselves on producing and packaging the finest tasting maple syrup on earth. It's that simple. Our mission is to support sustainable, preferably organic, domestic agriculture. We are leaders in the maple industry, known for our innovative marketing of syrup and our continuing work to improve industry-wide quality.

Highland Sugarworks pure maple syrup is available at natural product stores, co-ops, grocery stores throughout the country, and by mail order. For wholesale inquires please call Highland Sugarworks direct at 1.800.452.4012.
