Dress It Up Dressing turns a mother’s homemade recipe into bottled salad dressings, made with 100% olive oil and simple ingredients. Founded by Sophia Maroon after her family used the dressing to coax four children into eating vegetables, the company grew from a neighborhood delivery service into a brand sold in more than 1,700 stores nationwide. Its Sesame Tahini dressing has earned two sofi Awards and a 2024 Good Food Award, while the women-owned company is also a certified B Corp.

• Chef Tim FoodsBorn on the Jutzi family’s dining-room table in November 2008, Chef Tim Foods makes bottled vinaigrettes and seasonings for home cooks. York County husband-and-wife owners Tim and Sabrena Jutzi remain hands-on in the family business, drawing on Tim’s 17 years as a food-service chef and his award-winning chili and salsa recipes. The company is best known for its Sweet Balsamic Vinaigrette, which began as the house recipe customers urged Chef Tim to bottle.ETTERS, PA
• Soom FoodsBorn from three sisters’ search for the tahini they had tasted in a Mediterranean town, Soom Foods makes smooth sesame paste for home cooks, chefs, and foodservice kitchens. Its tahini is made from roasted sesame seeds and is sold in both retail jars and bulk buckets, with the company also extending the sesame line into squeeze bottles and chocolate spreads. A first delivery to Philadelphia’s Zahav restaurant reportedly came from co-founder Amy’s car; today, Chef Mike Solomonov uses Soom at all of his restaurants.PHILADELPHIA, PA
• The Marzetti CompanyBorn from Teresa Marzetti’s small Italian restaurant in Columbus, The Marzetti Company makes specialty foods for home kitchens and foodservice, including its well-known dressings and dips. Teresa opened the restaurant in 1896, and demand for her creamy coleslaw and French dressings eventually turned its upstairs into a full-scale factory in 1955. Today, the company carries that Columbus-origin tradition through a broad family of retail and foodservice brands, while investing in modern manufacturing to make its products safely and consistently.WESTERVILLE, OH
