Pure maple syrup produced in Hibbing has taken top honors at the annual international competition held by the North American Maple Syrup Council.
David Dahl, a hobbyist member of the Minnesota Maple Syrup Producers Association, was judged the North American Council’s Best In Show.
Dahl’s syrup was among entries from fifteen states and Canadian provinces. It also took first place in the golden maple syrup category, one of four categories judged.
Golden syrup comes in early spring and makes up a small portion of a season’s crop. The delicate taste of golden maple syrup pairs well with vanilla and dairy, or in light flavored cocktails.
Dahl taps about 100 trees each spring to make his Cedar Valley Pure Maple Syrup for family and friends.
He also won Best In Show last year at the Minnesota State Fair.
