Fernanda da Hora - CEOfernanda@pipoca.love

For four years, I’ve dreamt of having my own food business.

The one thing that came to mind was popcorn. Yes, PIPOCA! It brings back so many fond memories of sitting in the backyard with my grandmother, eating popcorn. Everywhere you go in Brazil you have the opportunity to have popcorn. Not only at the movie theater, but in every park, or at the door of the schools!

We, Brazilians, love pipoca and I want to offer the Brazilian way to make and serve popcorn to DC area community.

Being around food and other cooking enthusiasts inspired me to go for that popcorn dream I put on hold. I finally had the courage to be a business owner. And so pipoca.love was born. 

pipoca.love is a way of bringing a piece of my childhood in my native Brazil to my community in Washington DC. 

pipoca.love is always present at local events where there is a great opportunity for direct contact with our final customers to receive feedback that shows possible points for adjustment. This way it was possible to improve the production, packaging and distribution of the product in a way that suits what our main client expects.

Delicious, dry and very crunchy popcorn, without industrialized additives, with a simple recipe but with an amazing flavor, created through Brazilian mentoring specializing in gourmet popcorn, in addition to sustainable packaging that respects life and the environment.
