Introducing Marie's New Line Of Refrigerated Dressings

Introducing a new portfolio of Marie’s® Dressings—a full line of refrigerated foodservice dressings made with real premium ingredients for a fresh, clean flavor. Marie’s Dressings deliver the honest flavor guests crave with the quality operators can depend on. With the growing demand for menu transparency, operators can feel good knowing Marie’s Dressing contains no artificial flavors, colors, preservatives, HFCS, corn syrup or gluten. The balance of quality, flavor and integrity has always set Marie’s Dressings apart.

Marie’s Dressings have always delivered high-quality ingredients and real, fresh flavor. Passionate about quality, Marie set the standard when she handcrafted premium dressings for her Seattle café. Her tradition carries on today in the full line of refrigerated foodservice dressings made with real premium ingredients. Now, operators can enhance their menu with dressings that offer a clean taste and texture that’s as close to scratch-made as it get.

Joining the existing line of Marie’s Yogurt Dressings, the new portfolio brings eight exceptional and versatile flavors, including:

* White Balsamic Shallot

* Blueberry Pomegranate

* Creamy Ranch

* Super Blue Cheese

* Chunky Blue Cheese

* Creamy Caesar

* Italian Vinaigrette

* Honey Mustard

The foodservice environment is changing and the demand for clean label products is increasing. Consumers are putting greater emphasis on food with integrity–menu items that are distinguished by their “clean” quality and natural ingredients. As consumers learn more about what they eat, demand for transparency in what ingredients go into a menu item—and where those ingredients came from—will increase. More than half of consumers want restaurants to be more transparent about menu item content. In addition, two-fifths of consumers say they are more concerned about additives in their food than they were two years ago.1 With Marie’s Dressings, operators can capitalize on this trend and set themselves apart from the competition.

When operators want the honest flavor of real ingredients, they can feel confident turning to Marie’s Dressings. The new line of dressings are available in refrigerated 2/1 PET gallons to meet back of house needs. Operators interested in trying Marie’s Dressing can save up to $1000 with a “buy one, get one” offer—available now through August.
