Woman-owned family farm makes a breakthrough in the salad dressing market by proudly earning Salad Dressing Line of the Year.

Chico, Calif. – Mooney Farms, a certified woman-owned family farm based in Chico, California, is being noticed for the wholesome ingredients that set their products apart. In the dynamic world of salad dressings, The Bella Sun Luci Salad Dressing Line takes center stage with their extraordinary vinaigrettes. Bella Sun Luci was awarded the Mindful Award for Salad Dressing Line of the Year, celebrating their commitment to quality, flavor, and mindful ingredients. The Mindful Awards are designed to honor products that make a significant impact in the consumer goods industry. The Bella Sun Luci Salad Dressing line is disrupting the salad dressing industry because of Mooney Farms’ use of premium, health-conscious ingredients that support overall wellness and its exceptional taste. The Bella Sun Luci Salad Dressing line is made with 100% olive oil, unlike competing salad dressings that contain inflammatory seed oils. Bella Sun Luci Italian Vinaigrettes are crafted with no artificial colors or flavoring, just ingredients you can trust. The Salad Dressings are available in five varieties: authentic Balsamic Vinaigrette with sweet and fragrant aged Italian balsamic vinegar; Tuscan-styleSonoma Vinaigrette, rich with garlic and California sun-dried tomatoes; California Vinaigrette with sweet oranges and wildflower honey; premium Champagne Vinaigrette; and Meyer Lemon Vinaigrette with basil and honey. 

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 De Nigris award-winning Italian balsamic vinegar, Meyer lemons, raw wildflower honey, and California sun-dried tomatoes, all blended with just the right combination of spices and herbs for extremely flavorful vinaigrettes.

Mooney Farms was recognized for the Mindful Award because of the premium ingredients that they use in all of their products. The 100% olive oil Salad Dressing line is a natural fit for Mooney Farms’ Bella Sun Luci Italian Kitchen line which features premium California-grown and Mediterranean-inspired foods created from authentic family recipes. “These vinaigrettes are a dream of mine come true and are made the way I would make them in my own kitchen—with my favorite ingredients and only the best olive oil,” says Mary Mooney, founder of Mooney Farms. “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.
