Hidden Valley Ranchology started in 1954. It was at that time that Steve and Gayle Henson, who were already married, decided to build a dude ranch. They did so by purchasing 120 acres of vast terrain that was situated in the mountains west of Santa Barbara, California. Over the years, Steve had been developing his distinctive salad dressing, a tangy blend of buttermilk, savory herbs and spices. His ranch guests couldn’t get enough of the stuff, and Hidden Valley Ranch dressing was invented.

It didn’t take long before Steve’s visitors began badgering him for jars of his ranch dressing to take with them when they left. The news immediately spread, and before long, Steve was mailing out miniature packets of his original ranch to customers located all over the nation. In the end, we decided to buy the mail-order business so that we could make our robust, tangy flavor available to an even wider audience of ranch-loving customers.

IS THE HIDDEN VALLEY RANCH REAL?

Yes the Hidden Valley ranch was real. It is easy to say that Hidden Valley Ranch, or HVR for short, has earned a position in popular culture as a result of the love of ranch that exists throughout the world. Now, folks all over the country proudly drizzle creamy ranch over their burgers and pizzas or dunk their chicken wings and fries in it. People also use it as a dipping sauce. They apply the savory ranch flavor to roasts by rubbing it onto the surface of the meat, then stir it into stews, bake it into casseroles, and sprinkle it over popcorn. Some ranch enthusiasts take their devotion to the beverage to an extreme by purchasing it in keg quantities, installing ranch fountains at weddings, and showing their enthusiasm for ranch on social media in ways that have never been seen before.

FAQ

Do Hidden Valley® dressings contain allergens?

All Hidden Valley products are labeled in accordance with FDA food labeling requirements, including the Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act of 2004 (Title II of Public Law 108-282) that requires foods containing the major food allergens: milk, eggs, fish, crustacean shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, and soybeans to be labeled. The precise species of fish, crab shellfish, and tree nuts will be identified on the label. For more information, see the ingredients statement on the back of each Hidden Valley® product.

Do Hidden Valley® dressings contain gluten?

The majority of their products are gluten-free. According to new FDA standards, products and ingredients derived from grass-related grains containing gluten — namely wheat, rye, and barley — will be explicitly disclosed in the ingredient statement on the package label. If the product does not contain wheat, rye, or barley, it is most likely gluten-free. Only products that have been proven gluten free will have the “Gluten Free” label. However, because we are revising our labels, not all gluten-free items will feature this remark. Always read the ingredient statement on package labels or contact the manufacturer for clarification.

How do you ensure your products are gluten-free?

They have an initiative to encourage the usage of the “Gluten Free” label. Products labeled “Gluten Free” are subjected to regular testing. All vendors guarantee that no ingredients include or are sourced from gluten-containing grains. To prevent cross contamination, their products are made in facilities with strict allergy control protocols.?

Do Hidden Valley dressings contain MSG?

MSG is a flavor enhancer that is produced by fermentation. This substance has been approved by the FDA. If it is contained, it is clearly named on the label. It is not listed as “Natural Flavors.”

Can I use low-fat or fat-free mayonnaise instead of full-calorie when making the Hidden Valley® dressing from the Hidden Valley Salad Dressing & Seasoning Mix?

Yes. You can use low-fat mayonnaise, but keep in mind that substituting low-fat mayonnaise, low-fat sour cream, or other components will modify the dressing’s consistency slightly. Try our specially made reduced-calorie and low-fat bottled dressings as well. Look for them in a nearby store.

Can I use low-fat sour cream instead of full-calorie when making the Hidden Valley® dip from the Dry Dips Mix?

Can I use buttermilk instead of milk when making the Hidden Valley® Dressing & Seasoning Mix?

Yes. When creating the Hidden Valley Dressing & Seasoning Mix, you can use buttermilk instead of milk, but bear in mind that changing the recipe with buttermilk or other components can vary the consistency of the dip slightly.

Can I use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream when making the Hidden Valley® Dip from the Dry Dips Mix?

Yes. You can make Hidden Valley® Dip with yogurt, but keep in mind that changing the recipe with yogurt or other ingredients will vary the consistency of the dip slightly.

Can I use the dip mix for salad dressing and vice versa?

Certainly. It all depends on the texture you want. If you like a thicker dressing, use the dip mix, and if you prefer a smoother, creamier texture, use the pourable dressing as dip.

How do I prepare dressing using the Salad Dressing & Seasoning Mix Shaker?

1 cup milk, 1 cup mayonnaise, and 3 tablespoons Hidden Valley mix in a mixing bowl Combine thoroughly. Refrigerate, covered. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to thicken. Stir well before serving. Freshness lasts 3 to 4 weeks.
