Roxbury Mountain Maple Cream, 16 Ounce

I'd never had this before but after reading the reviews, decided I had to try it. It's certified organic, gluten free and made entirely from pure maple syrup. And...its Certified Kosher. Most people don't know what that means. The word itself means "pure" or "proper". Kosher is not a style of food and it isn't blessed by a Rabbi. It means a food meets all the rules of Kosher Dietary Law such as: 1) It's allowed to be eaten, 2) It's source - how raised, whether plant or animal, is done strictly in adherrance to Kosher law and 3) It's preparation meets very strict Jewish Dietary laws that have survived for centuries. Most have to do with cleanliness, health and purity, although a person who is Jewish will tell you they are Kosher because God commanded it. Some things we're just now finding out why we should or shouldn't do.Things like not mixing meat and dairy--which the USDA has just come out with a warning against doing! Kosher Law has much stricter standards for the presence of insects on produce, or any food for that matter, than that required by the USDA. Rules as to how animals must be slaughtered- quickly, humanely and as painlessly as possible, and how they must be prepared and butchered after slaughtering. It is forbidden to eat an animal that has died of natural causes. They go on and on. To be certified Kosher, therefore, means the product meets all the strict rules of Kosher Dietary Law. Generally speaking, you can feel pretty safe eating something that has been Certified Kosher. Moving on.... This Maple Cream is absolutely delicious! It's light, almost airy, exceptionally creamy and soooo good! So far I've only used it two ways: I've lightly spread some on toast and I put some on chocolate ice cream. You might be tempted to eat it by the spoonful, but I wouldn't recommend it. It's still sugar. All things in moderation. It's expensive but you just might want to treat yourself to something special. If used in moderation, you can probably even rationalize keeping some in the house. I know I can!

Excellent! Warning: maple cream is totally addictive. Once you've had it, life just isn't the same without it. Jelly and jam pale in comparison. I love maple cream and in the past always purchased it in NY State when I visited yearly. We would always run out between visits and my weekend breakfasts dimmed without it. I can't find it locally (I don't live in a "maple" state). I even looked into how to make it myself but the process looks challenging and decent maple syrup is very expensive. I was very happy to find it available on Amazon for a reasonable price (reasonable for maple cream that is). This brand has excellent intense maple flavor and is easy to spread. Sometimes there is a little separation which is fixed by stirring. The 1 pound jar lasts quite a while. The product will solidify when there is only a tiny bit left in the jar (it becomes maple candy!) but that's the nature of maple cream and not unique to this brand. One of the jars in my most recent shipment had a broken lid and the seal was breached. The company responded immediately when I contacted them and they processed a refund within 2 days (over a weekend). Occasional problems are inevitable when items are being shipped. The measure of good customer service is how a company responds when problems occur. I received excellent customer service and will continue to order this maple cream.

This spread is delicious! If you love the taste of maple, this is for you. I’m a fan of anything maple so I knew I had to try this and I wasn’t disappointed. The taste is similar to the maple candies out there- strong and delicious but not overpowering. Once opened it needs to be stored in the fridge which makes it more the consistency of butter than that of let’s say cream cheese, so dunking anything into it, like pretzels or fruit, is out of the question until it comes to room temperature. However, it’s perfect for what I like best: spread on a toasted bagel! Melts right in just as butter would, add a little cream cheese on top and you have the greatest breakfast! I used to take a cream cheesed bagel and dunk sections of it into a bowl of syrup, one bite at a time. This is so much better. I will definitely order again! The only reason for 4 stars in the value category is the price. To me it’s a condiment; while I will absolutely be ordering again, it’s so hard to let myself spend that on a condiment. But I will, because it is that good.

Growing up in Minneapolis, Minnesota, every fall our family would take a long, scenic drive to Taylors Falls and back to see the fall colors and to stop at apple orchards to buy apples and MAPLE CREAM! I loved this tradition and I adored maple cream. After moving out of Minnesota almost 20 years ago I could never find Maple Cream. Recently (it is fall after all) my father mentioned Maple Cream and I decided to see if I could get some on Amazon, I mean what can't you get on Amazon. I found the Roxbury Mountain Maple Cream and ordered some for my parents and myself. It is exactly as I remembered! My 14yr old daughter said "what IS that?," tasted it and tried to run off with the jar. I love to eat it on english muffins as it fills in the little holes with Maple creamy goodness. I will be ordering it again, although I probably won't wait until next fall!
