THE PERSON BEHIND THE WORK

Martin Malenfant

Maple producer & founder

The official history identifies Malenfant as a third-generation maple producer who established Érablière Escuminac in 1998.

The story & the craft.

Escuminac's official history follows Martin Malenfant from childhood around family sugar bushes to a first sugar shack in 1987, then the establishment of Érablière Escuminac in 1998. Those are separate milestones in the Quebec producer's story. Its Extra Rare and Late Harvest syrups give a concrete comparison within the harvest.

Extra Rare is described as using sap from the first days of the run; Late Harvest is associated with the final days and a darker syrup. This helps explain the maker's two selections without ranking one as objectively better. Match the chosen bottle or gift format to the amount you intend to use and read the current storage directions; both selected pages call for refrigeration after opening. The official business contact route can resolve formats and ordering questions, including destination restrictions. The pure-Canadian-maple statement belongs to these syrups rather than automatically covering every product in the shop.
