• 1/4 cup popcorn kernels yields about 8 cups popped corn, scale up as desired
• 2 tsp House Blend or Olio Santo EVOO for popping

Add olive oil and popcorn kernels to the bottom of a large pot with a lid over medium heat. As soon as popping starts, hold the lid slightly askew so that steam can escape (will result in crunchier popcorn) and gently swirl the pot on the stove to keep the kernels moving. Once popping slows to every 3-5 seconds, immediately remove from heat and pour popcorn into a large shallow bowl.

Drizzle with LOTS of additional olive oil – like you would butter – so that the salt or seasonings really stick. Be generous with both oil and seasoning, in multiple rounds: oil, then spices, tossing after each addition. Taste as you go to get to your preferred taste. It's the topping that make great popcorn so experiment!
