I'm interested in a source of tasty pork rinds (not the hard cracklins, the soft puffy ones).  I'd be happy to mail-order, I'd like to get a lot of them.

Ummm every Hispanic/Latin market I've ever been to has them and they are tasty. Even my 99 Cent store has excellent ones. I can't get there for a bit or I'd send some. They generally come in plain (still flavorful) and spicy

Yes, I live in a Dominican neighborhood, and am familiar with the mass-produced products.

 

There is a thread in the Cooking forum on pork farmers who produce fine house-cured and -finished pork products (including service meats and cracklings, etc).  Between that and the mind-bogglingly-delicious house-made pork rinds that I had recently at a resto called "Bluestem" in Kansas City, I thought someone may have a line on something unique.

Are you in Kansas City? If so, Bichelmeyer Meats in KCK has excellent chicharronnes. They may only sell them on Saturday though. If you go, get the tamales as well.

@kayb, you're the bomb!  I'll get in touch if it comes to that!

 

@chileheadmike, I don't live in KC, I'm just there once every other year or so.  

 

@pastrygirl, thanks.  I know of 4505, but was thinking surely they were high.  I appreciate the review from someone who's actually tasted them.  

 

All that said, I do live in NYC, and need to just take my behind over to Queens and see what's happening in some of the meat shops.

But the OP wanted the floofy puffy ones. I can get heart stopping (cardiac & taste wise) ones buit the puffy light a asir ones are not generally the "artisan"
