I got some E.D. no sugar added syrup that tastes exactly like maple syrup, at Save On Foods here in BC. It only has about 7 grams of carbs, and only 30 calories per 2 tablespoons.

I think that was what the coffee shop on Commercial Drive where I got some was called (around 7th & Commercial). They seem to keep the SF stuff under the counter! As I recall it was just under $10. Great deal!!! They were also willing to order in other flavours.

DaVinci Gourmet, the first brand to use Splenda/sucralose and the one with the most flavours.


...and I've been carrying them for 3 years now, and pretty well all the flavours, and discounts for multiples, too... since we're all on the subject.

From what I've sampled, there is no appreciable difference in flavour between Da Vinci and Torani syrups, although according to their respective websites (http://www.davincigourmet.com and http://www.torani.com/), Da Vinci has many more flavours (44 vs 15 SF).

In my opinion, by far and away the best (read cheapest) place to buy them is at the Cash & Carry at 405 Ohio Street in Bellingham - approx $3.65 US per bottle and every flavour imaginable. There is no duty on groceries, so no worries there, either... However, you do have to drive to the US, which not everyone is willing or able to do!

Thank you! You've got a good memory, it's been several months since I changed it! I am not very photogenic, I'm afraid - but this one turned out well
