From Vermont woods to the #1 restaurant in Boston — our smoked maple syrup is making flavor headlines.
If you’ve picked up a bottle of Sugar Bob’s Original Smoked Maple Syrup, you already know it’s not your average drizzle. It’s pure Vermont maple syrup, cold-smoked over real hardwood, that brings a subtle, bacon-like smokiness to everything it touches.
Now, that same signature flavor just got a little extra recognition.
In Boston Magazine’s “Top Secrets of Greater Boston’s Top 50 Restaurants” (Nov 2025), the #1 restaurant on the list — Sarma in Somerville — shared a behind-the-scenes secret: their irresistible, meaty-tasting vegetables owe their flavor to Sugar Bob’s Smoked Maple Syrup.
Chef Cassie Piuma’s team uses it to add depth and savory warmth to vegetarian dishes that taste every bit as rich as roasted meat. In her words, it’s that “bacon-like flavor” that keeps people guessing and coming back.
From Vermont Sugarhouse to City Plates
We’ve always said smoked maple syrup belongs in every kitchen, not just on pancakes. Seeing it shine at one of Boston’s most celebrated restaurants proves what we’ve believed all along, that real Vermont flavor travels well.
From home cooks to fine-dining chefs, our smoked maple syrup brings a balance of sweet, smoky, and savory flavors that turn simple ingredients into something special.
It’s handmade in small batches, using Grade A Very Dark maple syrup from local sugarmakers, then infused with real wood smoke (no artificial flavors, ever). The result: a natural umami depth that brings out the best in both vegetables and meat.
