Pure maple syrup should be kept in a cool, dark place for up to two years until opened and then refrigerated after opening where it will last one year. If excess water is present or if containers are not clean when filled, there may be the growth of bacteria, yeast or mold during storage.
Having been under the impression that maple syrup doesn't spoil, we wanted to look in to the matterâ¦. The mold, at left (with apologies to the squeamish). As it turns out, maple syrup does have a shelf life once opened, and mold is not as uncommon as we thought. (Note: we are referring to 100 percent pure maple syrup, not maple-flavored syrup or other blends.)
