Meet Big Mama

Lois Marks (AKA Big Mama) has been gardening and cooking with fresh ingredients for more than 40 years. In her Florida backyard, you’ll find orange, lemon, lime, pomelo, lychee, star fruit, avocado, mango, and calamondin trees as well as tomatoes, herbs, and leafy greens like broccoli and kale. The 3 F’s – fruiting, floral, and fragrant – dictate inclusion in her garden.

In 2021, Lois partnered with her son Ethan to bottle and sell the calamondin vinaigrette her family has enjoyed for more than 3 decades. She earned her famous nickname from her five grandchildren who can’t get enough of Big Mama or her dressing!

What is Calamondin?

Calamondin is a small, round, tart citrus fruit that resembles a tangerine. Though it is native to Southeast Asia, it also grows well in Big Mama’s home of Florida!

Calamondin juice is tart, so we also use the peel to add sweetness. Garlic chives give the dressing its greenish hue; peeled garlic delivers a complimentary kick; apple cider vinegar adds a healthy tartness; and lemon juice rounds out the flavor.
