14 Nov Bobo’s Mountain Sugar
Bobo boils down the springtime sap from 2500 maple trees living on a hillside in Weston, Vermont. All of Bobo’s sap comes from one sugarbush, so the syrup tastes like Bobo’s Mountain: the soil, minerals, organic material, water and the trees. Bobo’s Mountain Sugar is a wood-fired operation, and they use wood sourced either from their land or from their neighbors to ensure the fuel is local. It takes a lively mix of science and magic to make maple syrup, and Bobo waits for those perfect early spring days where night-time temperatures are below freezing and day-time temperatures are above freezing. Then, as the sap is running, they collect it, light up a fire, and boil it down to syrup.
Bobo’s Mountain Sugar comes in three different sizes and in two levels of maturity.
Dark color and robust taste is a dark, rich, flavorful syrup whose maple sweetness holds its ground and adds a divine kick to anything, including your pancakes.
Amber color and rich taste is carrying a lighter maple flavor, it versatile, charismatic, and Bobo’s go-to choice for switchel, stews,and dressings. It is delicious on waffles, vanilla ice cream, and over sauteed greens.
