Organic Gourmet Popcorn:
Poppin’ & Hoppin’
EDITOR’S NOTE
In 2011 this brand transitioned from organic to conventional popcorn. But it is still as delicious! |
CAPSULE REPORT: Whether you want to pop it yourself or buy it ready-to-eat, 479° Popcorn is a treat every popcorn lover should try. Whether you like sweet or savory popcorn, there’s a gourmet flavor for you.
The popcorn is hand-crafted in small batches in heavy copper kettles. While still warm, the popped corn is tossed with with organic caramel and sweet seasonings to create Chipotle Caramel + Almonds, Fleur de Sel Caramel, Ginger Sesame Caramel and Vietnamese Cinnamon Sugar.
Or, try the savory flavors, which are just as exciting: Alderwood Smoked Sea Salt, Black Truffle + White Cheddar, Madras Curry Coconut + Cashews, and Pimentòn de La Vera (smoked paprika with tomato and onion).
With complex and heady flavors, 479° Popcorn is a better-for-you indulgence (popcorn is a whole-grain food, and the savory flavors add nothing unsavory to your diet). They’re nicely gift-boxed for you, for your Valentine and for all the gift occasions that pop up during the year.
Read the full review below to explore the delicious sweet and savory popcorn flavors. See how we used them to garnish food and as a dessert course. And learn where the name, 479° Popcorn, comes from.

479° Popcorn Overview
There are so many people who go into the artisan food business because they love food. The question is, does the marketplace really need another line of jams, cookies, brownies or barbeque sauce?
But in our opinion, Jean Arnold, founder of 479° popcorn, has hit the nail on the head with her delicious, gourmet, organic and giftable popcorn line.
Jean comes from an organic popcorn heritage. Her mother popped organic-only popcorn kernels on the stovetop for snacking. Training at Le Cordon Bleu in London, over the years, Jean experimented with exotic popcorn seasonings. The result is a line where every flavor deserves to be tried, and most deserve to be treasured.
About the name: 479° Fahrenheit is the optimal temperature for popping corn.
