Queen Pure Canadian Maple Syrup

Brand Origin and History

Queen was established in 1897 in Brisbane, Australia, and is one of the country's oldest and most respected pantry brands. Originally founded by the Taylor family, it began with a focus on premium vanilla extracts and has since expanded into a wide variety of baking and breakfast essentials, maintaining a reputation for quality over more than a century.

Manufacturing and Sourcing

While Queen is an Australian brand, this particular product, Pure Canadian Maple Syrup, is sourced directly from Canada. It is harvested by farmers in Quebec, which is the world's leading region for maple production. The liquid gold is processed and bottled in Canada to preserve its authentic 'Quebec Reserve' Grade A quality before being distributed globally by Queen Fine Foods.

Ownership and Global Presence

Today, Queen Fine Foods is part of the Dr. Oetker group, a major multinational company headquartered in Bielefeld, Germany. Dr. Oetker acquired Queen in 2015, integrating it into its international portfolio of baking and dessert products. The brand continues to operate from its Australian headquarters under the Dr. Oetker umbrella, combining local heritage with the resources of a global conglomerate.
