Pure maple syrup is made by concentrating the sap of maple trees. This is typically done by boiling the sap to remove water, or by using reverse osmosis to concentrate the sap followed by boiling. After reaching the proper density (67% sugar content), the syrup is filtered and packed into containers. No other ingredients are added.

Vermont is known as the green mountain state and has a whole lot of maple trees. They also have the perfect weather conditions for making the best maple syrup.

Besides all they have are mountains and maple trees so of course they would perfect it lol. Really though it is a beautiful and serene place.
Yes, Canada is famous for maple syrup. If your from a different country some people will come to the airports and buy the maple syrup because they don't have it in their country. Hope this helps!
