Maple Syrup

Maple syrup is one of the most popular products in Quebec. It is a traditional product families produced and consumed regularly (it could be compared with the culture that we Spaniards have with olive oil). It is common for families to have a small pot planted with maple syrup. In the center of the plantation there is a hut with emerging small tubes that connect directly to each of the maples, and, in spring, when the tree starts to produce sap, these small tubes is collected and channeled to the cabin, As I said, there's a whole culture behind this syrup, made into jams, soaps, cakes, etc ... It tastes very sweet and can be a good gift as a souvenir.
