Hickory syrup gets its rich smokey flavor from the Shagbark hickory trees that are native to our Applachian woodlands. We harvest the bark as it peels naturally off the tree, roast it to concentrate the aromas, then boil it into a flavorful extract. We then add organic cane sugar to yield a sweet syrup. Hickory syrup has a unique taste, rich in tannins and smokey depth – some people say it tastes like eating a campfire (only safer!). It’s delicious on pancakes and also adds a unique aroma to BBQ sauce and marinades.
Refills: We sell our syrup in glass bottles with hang tags instead of sticky labels. This allows you to reuse the bottle, or bring it to us at the RVA Big Market (Richmond) or Staunton farmer’s markets where we offer a $1 discount for returning your bottle.
