Here is an excerpt from the article where Terry and Deborah O’Kelly talk about how the baking process Golden Girl Granola uses allows for a better tasting product.

When the company first moved to Phoenix Park, it relied on a single rack oven. Now it’s able to put two racks in an oven. The granola is still double-baked, which Terry O’Kelly said brings out the best flavor.

“If you compare a slice of bread to a piece of toast there’s more flavor in the toast simply because it’s been cooked a little more. So same thing with the coconut and the almonds,” Terry O’Kelly said.

Deborah O’Kelly added: “If you’re doing it in a machine and you have a lot, you’re just tumbling it around and you’re just not getting this (product) — it’s not baked with the same care.”
