Popcorn maker BjornQorn and olive oil brand Graza have partnered for the new Extra Virgin Olive Oil & Sea Salt Popcorn as a high-quality snack that doesn't skimp on taste or texture.
The popcorn starts off with Yellow Butterfly Corn harvested from the BjornQorn family farm in Minnesota, which has been popped to perfection to give it a light, crisp and satisfying texture. The popcorn is then covered with Graza's Sizzle Extra Virgin Olive Oil before being seasoned with sea salt to give it a rich flavor. The product comes as a first for BjornQoorn who hasn't used extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) for popping prior.
The Extra Virgin Olive Oil & Sea Salt Popcorn is priced at $5.99 for a three-ounce bag and can be purchased in sets of three, six or 10.
