Escuminac is a family-owned farm in Quebec specializing in the production of organic maple syrup, founded in 1998 by Martin Malenfant, a third-generation producer. The estate covers more than 500 hectares and includes around 65,000 maple trees, from which sap is collected each year using traditional yet technologically refined methods.
What makes Escuminac unique is its “single forest” approach, meaning that all sap is processed and bottled directly on the farm without blending from other sources. Since 2006, their products have been certified organic, and the entire farm operates according to sustainability principles.
Escuminac relies on the distinctive terroir of the Gaspésie region, where a combination of sea air and continental climate shapes the sap’s unique flavor. Their syrups contain significantly more polyphenols than honey, making them one of the nutritionally richer natural sweeteners.
Escuminac is a brand that bridges tradition and innovation, preserving heritage while offering products tailored to the modern gourmet market. Thanks to their consistency in quality and ecological commitment, their syrups are recognized worldwide as a premium Canadian specialty.
