Who said maple was only for those with a sweet tooth?

It’s Sugaring-Off time! This is the season that gives us the opportunity to celebrate maple products, a point of local Canadian pride. 

The emphasis is often placed on gourmet and sweet products, but perhaps you don't have a sweet tooth. Does that mean you should be excluded from celebrating maple? Not at all! It’s not necessary.

Here are some ideas for enjoying it in other forms: 

Maple Soap

Bathe in maple, but leave your skin clean and moisturized rather than sticky.

The Canadian maple-inspired soap bar from Soak Bath has a gently sweet maple scent with a hint of vanilla.

Maple Syrup Scented Candle

Let the authentic smell of maple transport you directly to the sugar shack, in the comfort of your own home. With the Seracon candle, you even get the classic look of a traditional maple syrup can, without having to drench your pancakes in it.

Lip Balm

Maple in a portable version can be found in maple-flavored lip balms. A must-have for lips dried out by the Canadian winter, Cocooning Love offers a vegan and natural formula that even comes in eco-friendly cardboard packaging.

Wooden Board

Finally, we must not forget maple wood! A rather pale wood, it is perfect as a serving board and will perfectly enhance the presentation of your cheeses, charcuterie, pastries (very sweet or not at all!) and much more.

Those from Ottercreek are sustainably sourced and all unique, carefully chosen for their appearance, including the knots and cracks that enhance their organic shapes.

Whether you are a lover of sweets or simply curious to discover maple in another way, there are a thousand ways to celebrate this Canadian pride. Let yourself be tempted by these unique products and enjoy maple… your way! 🍁
