Big Mama’s Foods Celebrates Sale of 10,000 Bottles of Signature Calamondin Vinaigrette

PRESS RELEASE — NEWS PROVIDED BY Ethan Shapiro for Big Mama’s Foods

Miami, FL – November 2024 – Big Mama’s Foods is thrilled to announce a major milestone in the company’s journey: the sale of 10,000 bottles of the beloved Big Mama’s Calamondin Vinaigrette. This achievement marks a new chapter for the company, which has gained a loyal following for its fresh, and all-natural salad dressing made with handpicked ingredients from Big Mama’s Miami, Florida backyard garden.

Their Calamondin Vinaigrette, known for its distinctive citrus flavor – a blend of tangerine and lime. With over 70 perfect 5-star reviews, shipments to all 50 states including Hawaii and Alaska and its place in the top 5 salad dressings at Milam’s Markets, a beloved South Florida supermarket chain, Big Mama’s Calamondin Vinaigrette continues to gain traction as a healthy, vegan, and gluten-free alternative to traditional dressings. “We’re beyond excited to hit this milestone,” said Ethan Shapiro, Founder & CEO of Big Mama’s Foods. “What began as a family tradition is now a part of kitchens around the country. We owe our success to our incredible customers and community who have embraced the freshness and quality of our vinaigrette.”The family recipe for the vinaigrette dates back over 40 years, originating from the Miami backyard garden of Big Mama (AKA Lois Marks) herself. Frustrated with store-bought dressings packed with sugar and preservatives, Big Mama embarked on a quest for a healthier option. The result? A gluten-free, and vegan dressing bursting with the vibrancy of her garden. As word of mouth grew among family and friends, so did the demand for her unique blend of fresh calamondin and simple ingredients. Today, Big Mama’s son and grandchildren continue the tradition, crafting the vinaigrette with the same care, ensuring it stays true to its roots.

To celebrate the sale of 10,000 bottles, Big Mama’s Foods will donate 1% of profits to The Garden Club of America, whose mission is to stimulate the knowledge and love of gardening. They are also offering special promotions on their website, BigMamaFoods.com, and at Milam’s Markets and select retailers. Fans are encouraged to visit the website for exclusive recipes, including Big Mama’s Cedar Plank Salmon, a customer-favorite dish featuring the Calamondin Vinaigrette.
