maple flavor

Pancake topping essence

Maple flavor is the taste characteristic of maple syrup—sweet with caramel and slightly woodsy notes.

The term often appears on products that imitate this taste through artificial means: maple-flavored oatmeal, maple flavor coffee creamer.

Real maple syrup comes from boiled tree sap; maple flavor usually signals a synthetic approximation.
