It smells just like the theater stuff & adds color too. We use this with our Stir Crazy popper -makes great tasting buttery, fluffy & crunchy popcorn. It's also canola oil, so it's healthy; and it's natural too I'm guessing as it's produced by the Amish. I would definitely recommend!

The oil is fine, no real complaints there. I think the type of popcorn you use determines flavor a lot more than the oil you use does though.

The only negative is the shipping charges when added into the cost of the product. You can likely find something at a local store for about the same cost, and avoid paying for shipping.

I was excited to find high heat oil since our local store was temporarily out of our usual brand. I assumed this would be natural and just oil like the sunflower and safflower oils we usually buy at New Seasons. Then there's that word, "Amish" - evokes images of natural, of the earth. It arrived with its Beta Carotene enhanced color - OK, I'm all about carrots, but then I read the rest of the ingredients, "partially hydrogenated canola oil." I don't need anything hydrogenated, partially, or otherwise, on my popcorn. If that's what I want, I'll walk down to the Valley Theater and buy a bucket.

At least Chefs.com found irony in it as well and quickly gave me a refund over the phone for the amount I paid.

I couldn't differentiate between this popcorn canola oil and regular (cheaper) canola oil. It's good quality but I would buy the regular canola oil and experement with it by mixing it with a sweetner or liquid margarine or honey.

My husband is always saying add extra butter to our popcorn. This oil adds a wonderful butter taste to popcorn. No need to add additional butter. Much better on waistline. I will order again and again!
