TONEWOOD
Tonewood Product Line
DORI ROSS IS ON A MISSION: to showcase the versatility and flavor profile
of Vermont maple. ÒMaple pairs beautifully with almost all foods,Ó says Ross,
owner of Tonewood, which collaborates with seventh-generation sugar
makers to produce this gourmet line. The collection includes four grades of
traditional maple syrup as well as maple cream, pepper-infused savory maple
flakes for cooking and baking, and maple wafers.
Perhaps the most innovative item is TonewoodÕs maple cube, meant to be
shaved or grated like hard cheese and added to grilled salmon, stir-frys, and
marinades. ÒFoodies love that they can touch and feel the maple cube,Ó Ross
says. ÒItÕs a best seller.Ó
Everything in the line is single-sourced and additive-free, and the cube
comes in Fancy grade (delicate and buttery) and Grade B (more intensely
maple). Tonewood is also dedicated to preserving traditional maple production
in Vermont by offering a tree-adoption program that provides financial support
to local makers. Price range: $9.99–$59.99. Contact: Dori Ross; 802.496.5512;
