Oreo's salted caramel flavor will be re-introduced for a limited-time. Oreo is no stranger to flavor experimentation, often releasing limited-edition iterations and seasonal offerings. This one, however, is different as Oreo's salted caramel has remained a fan-favorite since its original release.
This offering was first made public in South Korea, where fans of the brand enjoyed the sweet but salty flavor profile that's unique for the brand. This flavoring was made possible through a collaboration with Ritz, and as a result, the cracker brand also released its own salted caramel flavor iteration.
This new treat is available in Mainland China along with Hong Kong for a limited-time. According to the brand, plans to bring the flavor to North America exist.
