Fancy Food Show Finds
I love a family story. One that spans a vision over multiple generations. Welcome to my world: G.H. Cretors Popped Corn, the 4th largest USA popcorn brand. This new CITYPEEK find will feed my seasoned popcorn obsession at the Fancy Food Show in NYC. Phyllis and Claire Cretors are the mother-daughter team of the Illinois company, with popcorn roots dating back more than a century ago. In nearby Chicago, another branch of the Cretors family still makes the commercial popping machines invented by Claire’s great great-grandfather, Charles Cretors, in 1885.

The showcased limited-edition seasonal products include: Orchard Apple Caramel Corn, Pumpkin Spice Caramel Corn and Double Chocolate Caramel Corn. They feel the flavors are in tune with the changing seasons and harvest. Also available for sampling are newly introduced Organic Chile Jalapeno White Cheddar, Organic Dill Pickle and Blue
berry Lemon.
Orchard Apple Caramel Corn is sweet and tart, combining caramel corn with large slices and pieces of real granny smith and red Fuji apples.
Pumpkin Spice Caramel Corn rings in October’s pumpkin spice craving with real pumpkin, whole pumpkin seeds, large walnut pieces and an autumn-inspired spice blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and cloves.
Double Chocolate Caramel Corn is a delightful blend of decadent white and dark chocolate coupled with whole almonds and cashews.
After the movie Red2 showcased the product being clutched by star, Mary Louise Parker, its celbrity star rose! Find the snacky treat in WholeFoods, Costco and Sams Club and specialty food stores.
