MADE WITH LOVE…TESTED ON GRANDCHILDREN
Big Mama

Meet Big Mama

Big Mama, a name synonymous with delicious home cooking and vibrant flavors, has spent over four decades cultivating a garden paradise in her Miami, Florida backyard. 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. Free from cholesterol and added sugar, this "liquid gold" – as Big Mama affectionately calls it – has been a family favorite for over 40 years. Now, she's sharing her legacy with the world.

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.

Big Mama's Backyard Garden proudly donates 1% of our profits to The Garden Club of America, whose mission is to stimulate the knowledge and love of gardening.

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.
