Meet Jean Arnold, Founder of 479°

Jean began 479° with a fond childhood memory of cozy evenings spent playing cards and devouring fresh popcorn with my family. Her mom refused to serve anything other than organic popcorn cooked in a sturdy stove-top popper that she'd hand crank until the kernels turned into a delightful fluffy treat. Then, as now, a bowl of popcorn could turn an ordinary moment into a special occasion.

Over the years, Jean experimented with making her own organic popcorn and flavoring it with exotic seasonings inspired by her international upbringing and training at Le Cordon Bleu in London. In the process, she came upon the discovery that 479 degrees Fahrenheit is the optimal temperature for popping corn. She knew immediately that this would be the name of her popcorn company, because it reflects the careful attention to detail that she works so hard to incorporate into every single element of the business, from the pristine ingredients to the beautiful packaging to the avid dedication to customer satisfaction.

These days, as Jean make popcorn by hand in her San Francisco kitchen, she is reminded of how simple, honest pleasures are often the most rewarding. As 479° continues the tradition of making this satisfying organic snack by hand, using the highest quality ingredients, their hope is that 479° will become a treasured indulgence for you too.
