Ingredients

¼ cup Golden Butter Extra Virgin Olive Oil, divided
½ cup popcorn kernels
Fine salt

Directions

Add 2 tbsp of the olive oil and 3 kernels to a large pot with a lid. Heat over medium-high.
When the test kernels pop, add the rest of the kernels, cover, and take the pot off the heat for 30 seconds so they all heat evenly.
Return to the heat. Shake the pot often, keeping the lid slightly cracked so steam escapes.
When the popping slows to 2 to 3 seconds between pops, pour into a big bowl.
Drizzle with the remaining 2 tbsp of olive oil and toss with salt while warm.
