CHICO, Calif., Sept. 6, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Mooney Farms, a certified woman-owned family farm based in Chico, California, announces today it is adding new Salad Dressings made with 100% olive oil to its flagship Bella Sun Luci line. Launching first in the Los Angeles area at Gelson's, Pavilions and Bristol Farms in October, the new Salad Dressings are available in three varieties: authentic Balsamic Vinaigrette with sweet and fragrant aged balsamic vinegar; Tuscan-style Sonoma Vinaigrette, rich with garlic and sun-dried tomatoes; and premium California Vinaigrette with sweet oranges and wildflower honey.

Mooney Farms launches Bella Sun Luci Salad Dressings with 100% olive oil. Woman-owned family farm shakes up the $3.3 billion salad dressing market with delicious vinaigrettes inspired by Italian recipes and California flavors.

Each Salad Dressing features Mooney Farms' very own California Extra Virgin Olive Oil, cold-pressed from the finest Arbequina olives and selected specifically for the salad dressings from the family estate grove. Then Mooney Farms adds only the best ingredients such as robust vinegar, orange peel and honey, all blended with just the right combination of spices and herbs for an extremely flavorful result. The three new 100% olive-oil Salad Dressings are a natural fit for Mooney Farms' Bella Sun Luci line which features premium California-grown and Mediterranean-inspired foods created from authentic family recipes.

"Our new Salad Dressings fit in seamlessly with our existing Bella Sun Luci line which combines the authenticity of simple, high-quality Italian ingredients with innovative California flavors. And we're so thrilled to launch them in Los Angeles first, a city that has arguably elevated the salad into a modern art form."
