By Mikuni Wild HarvestNearly eight years in development, this ice syrup from the Niagara Falls region of Ontario has an umami quality with rich initial flavors of apricot and plum, followed by the balanced acidity of tangerine and citrus notes, which linger on the palate.

THE STORY
In the world of fine food, few names are as respected as Mikuni Wild Harvest, a Vancouver-based company that sources the best ingredients in the world for top chefs. When we checked in with Mikuni about their picks for the season, they came back with the ice syrup from Canada, which is perfect for glazing meats, drizzling on chicken or as a finish for desserts. Grapes are harvested frozen, their juice is then evaporated 50% and the result is a subtle sweet tart syrup. Whether you’re planning a holiday feast or seeking gifts for the foodie in your life, you can’t go wrong with this extraordinary product.
THE NUTSHELL
- The balance between sweetness and acidity gives it a unique profile
- Sweeter and more intense than chilled wine, without sacrificing grapes' natural flavors
