Cambridge, VT (June 23, 2017) – Runamok Maple, a maker of all-natural, organic maple syrup produced from maple trees located along the northwest slopes of Vermont’s Mount Mansfield, is pleased to introduce two new product offerings: Ginger Root Infused maple syrup and Merquén (Smoked Chili) Infused maple syrup, to its unique collection of pure, infused, smoked, and barrel-aged maple syrups. Runamok Maple’s full line of delicious maple syrups is available for online purchase at runamokmaple.com, and can be shipped nationwide and to a variety of international locations.
With the introduction of its Ginger Root Infused and Merquén Infused maple syrups, Runamok Maple is continuing to redefine maple from tree to table. Founders Eric and Laura Sorkin, who left their jobs in Washington D.C. 18 years ago to pursue a career in agriculture, pride themselves on offering consumers a certified organic line of maple syrup that features only the purest, natural ingredients and one-of-a-kind flavor profiles that are unlike anything else on the market. These two new maple syrups are no exception.
Runamok Maple’s Merquén Infused maple syrup is a blend of all-natural, organic maple syrup infused with a spice blend centered on chili peppers from the Mapuche region of Chile, which are first ripened to a dark red color in order to develop a rich flavor, then slowly smoked over a fire.
“We trialed many different chili peppers to find one that would result in a unique, superior product,” said Eric Sorkin, Co-Founder of Runamok Maple. “When we infuse the Merquén into our maple syrup, it adds a balanced amount of richness, heat and smokiness that is enhanced by the natural caramel tones of the maple. I recommend using this new variety over cheddar cheese, on BBQ, roasted vegetables and meats, and even eggs. It also lends an exotic and sweet element to cocktails.”
The Ginger Root Infused maple syrup utilizes fresh, organic ginger to create a slightly spicy, yet still sweet taste, making it a great topper for pancakes, waffles and fresh fruit.
“After quite a bit of time spent sourcing the right ingredients and perfecting the infusion process, we’re also excited to introduce our Ginger Root Infused maple syrup to the market,” said Laura Sorkin, Co-Founder of Runamok Maple. “The Ginger Root Infused maple syrup offers a delicious ginger kick, and it shines as an addition to tea, pastries, vinaigrettes, and stir-fry dishes. It’s also great for mixing with spirits and sweetening up cocktails.”
In addition to the Merquén Infused and Ginger Root Infused maple syrups, both priced at $16.95 for a 250 ml bottle, the brand’s collection boasts ten unique and unexpected varieties of maple syrup, including: Sugarmaker’s Cut, Bourbon Barrel-Aged, Rye Whiskey Barrel-Aged, Rum Barrel-Aged, Pecan Wood Smoked, Makrut Lime-Leaf Infused, Hibiscus Flower Infused, Elderberry Infused, Cinnamon + Vanilla Infused, and Cardamom Infused.
