Seasoning Variety Pack | 4 Bottles | White Cheddar - Cheddar Cheese - Sour Cream & Onion -Ranch | Nut Free | Old Fashioned, Non-GMO and Gluten Free

I started popping and seasoning my own popcorn a couple of years ago when my mother-in-law was living with us to help out with our 1st child. She loves popcorn, and I loved learning how to make it fresh as a thank you to her for her help. After narrowing down my process pretty well, I started looking for popcorn seasonings to make the perfect snack. I started with Kernel Season's since they were readily available at our local grocery store. <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Kernel-Seasons-Popcorn-Seasoning-Parmesan/dp/B00DBC0ZRC/ref=sr_1_7?crid=2U15GG4I2DHA1&dchild=1&keywords=kernel+season%27s+popcorn+seasoning&qid=1630882287&sprefix=kernel%27s+sea%2Caps%2C166&sr=8-7">This variety</a> is the best combination of flavors they offer, imo. All 3 are perfect, and I prefer my popcorn salty and cheesy more than tangy & sweet like some of their other flavors. To be clear, these flavors are amazing. After you pick your popcorn spray (highly recommend <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Winona-Pure-Popcorn-Delicious-Calories/dp/B00FH8PGB8/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=popcorn+spray&qid=1630883112&sr=8-3">this one</a> ), you're ready to season. The Kernel Season's flavors are balanced between salt & flavor, and pack a nice amount of whatever the flavor profile is supposed to be. Unfortunately for me, regular servings started to wreak havoc on my GI tract, resulting in some wicked heartburn. I knew it was probably the seasoning, since there's so much salt and several preservatives. So I started looking for options with less preservatives, or at least natural preservatives. That's how I found the Amish Country seasonings. After a few trial runs, I can report that they definitely do not produce the same GI effects that Kernel Season's did. However, the flavor profile was lacking. Both the white cheddar and cheddar flavors were too light on...well, flavor. So by the time you've seasoned the popcorn with the perfect amount of flavor, it's too salty. If you dial it back until it's just salty enough, the cheese flavor is far too muted. The best popcorn flavorings allow you to taste the flavor while the popcorn is perfectly salted, and the two cheese flavors missed the mark by quite a bit. They may be better served on food with much less flavor, like broccoli or baked potatoes. The Ranch flavor came closest to perfection, with there being just enough tang and zest with the popcorn being just the right amount salty. It's not the same ranch flavor as Kernel Season's ranch flavor, but it's still good. Think Hidden Valley Ranch instead of Kraft's ranch. The Sour Cream & Onion flavor is better than the cheese flavors as far as strength, but nowhere near as balanced as the ranch. It could stand to be a little stronger too. All in all, I'm glad I found these as an alternative to common store popcorn seasonings. My esophagus thanks them. But the ranch is the star of the show here. If they tweak the cheeses just a little, those may be something to write home about. For now, this pack is just ok.

Just had the White Cheddar today over my popcorn and it was so good. Kept only 2 bottles, the White Cheddar and Sour Cream with onions and chives. I Shared 2 flavors with my daughter. They do have an expiration date 10/2024. The price is seasonable. I do recommend buying this product. They have many uses.

Makes my movie night wonderful

Ordered & received the white cheddar, cheddar, sour cream and onion & ranch flavorings. Easy to use, spoon or sprinkle on desired food. If using it on popcorn, it definitely needs butter or some type of fat so it will adhere to the popcorn. Gave four stars because the sour cream & onion had an unappealing taste, others though were fine.

These are ok but you have to use in conjunction with oil or butter — it won’t stick other wise. I’m not sure if other popcorn seasons is like that or not. I was just surprised by that I suppose. Flavors are ok, nothing special, but not bad.
