Key Takeaways
- Costco now carries the maple syrup brand that, according to one fan, is "the best syrup I have ever had."
- The 750-milliliter bottle is available at an unbeatable price, offering greater savings compared to retailers like Walmart and Amazon.
One of our favorite little-known food facts is that while maple syrup’s warm, rich flavor reminds us of fall—perfect alongside baking spices and roasted root vegetables—its real season is actually spring. That’s when sap flows from maple trees and is harvested to create the sweet staple we love.
With that in mind, it’s no surprise that Costco, the king of seasonal staples, carries maple syrup in high supply. What is surprising, though, is that next to the beloved Kirkland Signature maple syrup, there’s another contender hitting the shelves this year—one that many consider the best maple syrup in the game.
“This is the best maple syrup I’ve ever had, and I’ve tried many maple syrups in my lifetime,” raved one reviewer.
Costco Now Carries Madagascar Vanilla-Infused Crown Maple Syrup
So, what’s the syrup that has Costco shoppers talking? Crown Maple Syrup. Produced in New York’s Hudson Valley, this organic syrup brand was established in 2010 and quickly set what it calls the “royal standard” for organic maple in terms of quality, purity, and taste. Customers describe it as smooth, perfectly sweet, and not too heavy—essentially, the “best syrup ever.”
Crown Maple offers several standout flavors, including Bourbon Barrel Aged, Applewood Smoked, and Cinnamon Infused, but the fan-favorite Madagascar Vanilla Infused variety is the one making a grand entrance at Costco this season. Infused with a split vanilla bean, this craft maple syrup has delicate floral aromas and creamy, brown butter notes that take your breakfast (and beyond) to the next level.
“I always stock up on Crown maple syrup,” one commenter shared. “It’s the only real maple syrup I really like. It’s thick and doesn’t make my pancakes soggy.”
Sure, this syrup is dreamy drizzled over pancakes and waffles, but fans have suggested plenty of other ways to enjoy it. Try it in coffee or lattes, add it to homemade granola bars, drizzle it over roasted sweet potatoes, or spread it onto an English muffin with peanut butter. It’s even been praised as the secret ingredient to an unforgettable old fashioned.
But, if you thought the versatility was the best part of this Costco find, let’s talk about the value.
The craft maple syrup is available in a 750-milliliter bottle for just $15.89 at most Costco locations. For comparison, Walmart previously listed a 250-milliliter bottle for $14.99, and Amazon at $16.88—that’s one-third the size at nearly the same price. So, if you love a good deal, this is one of the sweetest finds at Costco right now.
While the bottle might last well into fall in your fridge (yes, refrigerate your maple syrup to keep it fresh), don’t count on this spring staple to stick around on Costco shelves for long. If you want to stock up, now’s the time.
