Alaska Pure Birch Syrup is hand-harvested from Alaska's boreal forests during the brief spring season. Late Run delivers bold, umami-rich complexity.
Alaska Pure Birch Syrup is hand-harvested from Alaska's boreal forests during the brief spring season. Birch syrup is not maple syrup. It is darker, more complex and intensely flavorful, with notes that can range from caramel and dried fruit to coffee, molasses, balsamic and umami depending on when during the season the sap was harvested.
It can take more than 135 gallons of birch sap to make a single gallon of syrup. That extraordinary concentration — combined with the changing chemistry of the sap throughout the spring — is what gives birch syrup its depth, scarcity and distinctive character.
Hammers Family Birch purchased Kahiltna Birchworks in 2023. They are an Alaskan company built around one remarkable tree: the white paper birch. Each spring, they harvest certified organic birch sap from wild trees outside Talkeetna, Alaska, transforming it through fermentation and traditional syrup making. Their approach combines northern tradition, modern food craft, and thoughtful forest stewardship.
