Meet Big Mama

Nestled amongst orange, lemon, lime, and a bounty of other citrus trees, fragrant herbs flourish alongside nutrient-rich greens. Big Mama's passion for fresh, wholesome ingredients isn't just about aesthetics – it's the foundation for her most beloved creation: Big Mama's Calamondin Vinaigrette.
Frustrated with store-bought dressings packed with sugar and preservatives, Big Mama embarked on a quest for a healthier option. The result? A delicious, gluten-free, and vegan dressing bursting with the vibrancy of her garden.

Big Mama's Calamondin Vinaigrette is a testament to her dedication to family, flavor, and the earth. It's a culmination of a remarkable journey, one that earned her the cherished title of "Big Mama" – a symbol of love, warmth, and, of course, exquisite taste.

Let customers speak for us
Big mama’s vinaigrette is the best I have ever tested. and the best of it is it contains just a few healthy ingredients. So much so that if there is some vinaigrette left at the bottom of my salad plate, I take a teaspoon and I finish it up! It is also excellent as a marinade. I use it on shellfish fish and poultry. I sent it to my friends who love to cook and ladies in my family and they love it. I very highly recommend it. Catherine.
Big Mama's dressing tastes amazing, very natural and light, with no added sugars, and so low in calories too! I am so glad I do not have to share it with anyone.
I can have all I want!
I was diagnosed with congestive heart failure, and Afib as well as having diabetes, and I’ve always struggled finding a dressing that had low sodium, low carbs, and had a good taste. I was a true lover of hidden valley ranch dressing, and would consider nothing else for most of my life however, I took a chance and tried Big Mama’s Dressing and I am in love! Now with 35 grams of sodium and zero carbs I can have as much as I want on my veggies, salads, crackers etc. The sky is the limit! The dressing has such great flavor and I am hooked. I have 50 more pounds to lose and with this dressing I know I will reach my goal. Thanks Big Mama!!
I got hooked on the unique flavor of this handmade vinaigrette dressing and love that it’s low calorie, with no sugars or preservatives. Since I live in Michigan, I was really excited to get free shipping from Florida! 😃
I’ve tried many salad dressings and Big Mamas is like no other. It’s so good every time! Use it on everything from salads to chicken or fish as a marinade.
We Love this dressing. It’s thick and creamy and covers the salad well without wilting the lettuce. We’ve used up most of the first bottle now! I’m so happy I decided to try it. I’ll be back for more soon.
I was looking for some salad dressing and ran across Big Mama’s.
Read up on them and ordered.
Very tasty ; you can put the stuff on anything.
I also like the idea of supporting a small family business.
Give it a try.
We just received it in the mail yesterday. Used it to marinate and cook salmon for dinner. Soooo good.
Love it!
This is the best low calorie dressing I have ever tasted. It's thick and creamy and a little bit goes a long way. The flavor is tangy, yet has a subtle sweetness and can be used in a variety of ways to enhance your foods flavor with adding a lot of calories and preservatives. I will be ordering more.
I’m a grandma, too, and know how we like to surprise our kids/grandkids with amazing meals & treats. I tried it for first time today and it’s both-makes my boring old salad a treat! Cannot wait to try all the different ways to show my family what a great find I stumbled on. Big Mama, you rock!
I received my order a few days ago and know that I will be eating your delicious dressing on so many things!From salads,to sandwiches and pasta and as a dip for veggies!I think the possibilities are endless!Thank you creating such a fresh,tasty, condiment!
Awesome dressing, the best I’ve had in a long time. I have high cholesterol .
This dressing is the perfect pairing with so many of my favorites. It's crisp bright flavor brings me back to my Italian family childhood and picking fresh vegetables in the garden with Papa. It makes our meals even more vibrant. I especially love dipping artichoke leaves in it or drizzled over salmon and fresh zucchini. A dressing that will not disappoint.

Calamondin: A Tiny Taste Sensation
Calamondin is a citrus gem – a small, round fruit with a big flavor punch! This Southeast Asian native thrives right here in Miami, Florida, and is a close relative of both the mandarin orange and the kumquat. Calamondin is also referred to as Calamansi, which is the Philippine English spelling of Tagalog kalamansi.
A Flavor Adventure
Calamondins offer a unique taste bud experience. Imagine a burst of tart citrus like a lime, perfectly balanced with the sweetness of a mandarin orange. The rind is also edible, boasting a delightful sugary taste.
Calamondins in the Kitchen
Calamondins are incredibly versatile. Their bright, tangy juice is a favorite ingredient in jams, pies, and cocktails. Big Mama even has a signature Vodka Calamondin Juice cocktail you won't want to miss!
Big Mama's Calamondin Vinaigrette
We love using calamondins in our kitchen! The tartness of the juice adds a delightful zip to our homemade salad dressing. We balance the calamondin's punch with the sweetness of the peel, creating a unique and flavorful experience.
Here's what makes our dressing special:
Calamondin Juice & Peel: A delightful sweet-tart combination.
Garlic Chives: A touch of green color.
Garlic: A subtle kick to add complexity.
Apple Cider Vinegar: A healthy touch of tartness.
Lemon Juice: Rounds out all the flavors perfectly.
