"We always prioritize taste and this flavor truly compliments the lightness of our popcorn. We also continue to be inspired by Giada's Italian heritage, so the Margherita Pizza flavor was a natural extension."

This new flavor also contributes to the Fund Her Farm initiative chef Giada and Simply7 created to bring awareness and support to female farmers in the United States.
