Understanding Hirata Sangyo's Needs

We understand that Hirata Sangyo ​values high-quality maple syrup with a ​focus on organic options, as indicated ​by your product offerings. Our ability to ​supply both organic and non-organic ​maple syrup in bulk aligns perfectly ​with your needs. We offer flexibility in ​packaging and can assist in bottling ​the syrup in Japan, allowing for ​customization to meet local market ​preferences.

Bottling Process

In case you need it, here is a short summary of how you can view the bottling process. Many customers choose to purchase bulk maple syrup from us ​to launch their own brands. This cost-effective method involves procuring wholesale maple syrup to be shipped directly to a bottling facility in their ​desired import country.Given that Hirata Sangyo already bottles oil, we believe that integrating maple syrup bottling into your operations will be ​seamless. Our process is straightforward and utilizes equipment similar to what you may already have for oil bottling.

Transfer and Warmth:

Upon receipt, your maple syrup will be at room temperature. Transfer it to a double boiler to gently warm ​it to 85°C. This step ensures pasteurization and quality maintenance.

Bottling at 85°C:

Transfer the warmed maple syrup into bottles at 85°C. Pasteurization within bottles guarantees extended ​shelf life.

Sugar Concentration Adjustment

Be cautious not to over-concentrate the syrup during the double boiling process. Adjust the sugar level ​by adding water. Aim for a final sugar level between 66° and 68° Brix.

Sugar Concentration Adjustment

Be cautious not to over-concentrate the syrup during the double boiling process. Adjust the sugar level ​by adding water. Aim for a final sugar level between 66° and 68° Brix.

Bottle Selection:

Avoid corked caps for long-term storage, as corks may dry out. Opt for smaller bottles (up to 250 ml) to ​ensure successful pasteurization. For larger bottles, pre-warm them with boiling water before filling.

Essential Equipment for Maple Syrup Bottling:

Brix Refractometer: Measures sugar content.

Digital Meter or Colorimeter: Gauges color and grade.

120V Pump: Transfers syrup to the double boiler.

Double Boiler: Warms syrup before bottling.

Price of Bulk Maple Syrup

The price of bulk maple syrup is influenced by several factors. Like most agricultural products, maple ​syrup is a commodity. In the past, the price of maple syrup followed the economics of supply and ​demand, with prices varying significantly due to harvest fluctuations from one season to another.To ​solve this problem, between 1998 and 2000, the PPAQ created the strategic reserve of maple syrup ​and established the first marketing agreements between producers and authorized buyers.Since we ​work closely with the PPAQ, when purchasing maple syrup at Maple Syrup From Canada Inc., you can ​be guaranteed to get stable wholesale prices from one year to another. The price of bulk maple syrup ​will vary according to the quality and the quantity you will need.

All Maple Syrup From Canada's syrup is certified for quality by ACER Division Inspection Inc., ​ensuring you receive pure quality maple syrup. Our organization is FDA certified, allowing us ​to deliver pallets of maple syrup anywhere in North America and handle customs clearance ​between Canada and the USA.

We are also maple syrup producers, now ​exploiting three maple farms, allowing buyers to purchase maple syrup directly from the ​producer. We are a UPA member and offer both organic and regular maple syrup.

Maple Syrup Grades

Quebec, known for its rich maple syrup production, offers a ​range of grades that vary in flavor, color, and intensity. The ​grading system helps consumers choose syrup that suits their ​preferences. The main maple syrup grades in Quebec include ​Golden, Amber, Dark, and Very Dark.
