Extra Large Caramel Type Popcorn

Pops big chewy popcorn that holds seasonings really well. Not just for caramel corn!

TLDR: Large in size albeit unremarkable grandeur, subtle sweetness, and a caramel allusion - 6/10

Gourmet Odyssey:
In the pursuit of popcorn excellence, my culinary exploration led me to ACP’s 'Extra Large Caramel Type”. While these kernels mirror the rudimentary popcorn shape, their substantial size hints at an anticipation of distinctive flavors and textures. Prepared with a judicious scoop of ACP's 'Popcorn Coconut Oil,' this culinary journey commenced with the promise of an extraordinary experience.

Visual Spectacle:
As the kernels unfolded upon popping, their grand dimensions rivaled the impressive Mushroom variety. The visual spectacle was undeniable, with large kernels resembling the fundamental popcorn shape. Comparable to the anticipation that precedes a culinary performance, the sheer size of each popped kernel hinted at the possibilities that awaited the discerning palate.

Flavour Exploration:
The initial tasting, devoid of any seasoning, hinted at a subtle sweetness permeating the popcorn. The elusive caramel essence, delicate and mysterious, played a teasing game with the senses, reminiscent to the anticipation preceding a romantic encounter. Much like the nuanced dance of flavours in the background, the prospect of a caramel note lingered, creating an air of expectancy. However, as the tasting unfolded, the caramel revelation proved elusive, akin to the fleeting moment of anticipation that, despite initial excitement, falls short of the anticipated climax. The subtle sweetness, while present, remained a delicate whisper rather than an assertive declaration, leaving room for interpretation and a tinge of disappointment. The subsequent seasoned transformation, comparable to introducing an embellishment to heighten the experience, added layers of flavor but did not fully compensate for the unfulfilled promise of a more pleasurable caramel presence.

Seasoned Transformation:
In light of the subdued caramel revelation, a decision was made to enhance the flavor profile. A delicate drizzle of ACP's 'Buttery Topping' and a sprinkle of black pepper ushered in a seasoned transformation. The infusion of buttery richness and a subtle kick of pepper complemented the sweetness, creating a harmonious balance. The result, while satisfactory, did not propel the blend into the realm of extraordinary, marking it as a commendable but unremarkable indulgence.

In Conclusion:
'Extra Large Caramel Type' unfolds as a grand yet unremarkable chapter in the popcorn odyssey. While the sizable kernels and subtle sweetness offer a pleasant experience, the elusive caramel flavor and the seasoned embellishments fall short of elevating this blend to the pinnacle of gourmet indulgence, positioning it as a decent but unexceptional addition to the diverse tapestry of popcorn varieties.

When I first discovered ACP I tried all the varieties, but this is my favourite. I reorder the same every time

I bought the amish extra large caramel type popcorn at a produce stand in North Carolina while visiting my family this summer. My family jokingly calls me a popcorn connoisseur. This is by far the best popcorn I have ever had. It taste so fresh, and I like the extra large yellow kernels. I would say almost every kernel pops every time I pops some. Bi highly recommend you try it if you haven’t yet.

This popcorn is tied for first place in our household. We eat popcorn almost 7 days a week and have tried every type on this site. The best flavor of all of them, but, because there are some (not a lot) of hulls, it is tied rather than holding first on its own.
