About
At drench, we use all natural, clean ingredients just like you would at home and only use the finest oils including olive oil and avocado oil. We never use soybean oil or canola oil, which are primarily GMO & inflammatory. Our dressings are free of the most common allergens. They're gluten free, dairy free, nut free, egg free, fish free & certified non-GMO! Additionally, we are now kosher! We are certified kosher by the Kosher Michigan Certification Agency. We do not use any artificial thickeners or emulsifiers which is why our dressings separate. That's what natural dressing do! They just need a quick shake! We never use any refined sugars or artificial preservatives or colors. For our dressings that have a touch of sweetness, we only use a bit of honey and fruit such as oranges and figs. ​ We source organic ingredients whenever possible. We hope you enjoy our crave-able dressings as much as we do! They're uncompromisingly delicious and we"ve been told they're good enough to drink! ​ Fun Fact: I am a proud graduate of The Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Business Program! ​
My Story
My story begins when I started reading the ingredients on the back of conventional store bought dressings. I couldn’t pronounce many of the ingredients which sounded like chemicals from a science project. One of the ingredients that shocked me most was titanium dioxide. After googling it, I discovered it was a whitening agent used in industrial paint. Why was this in our food???!!!! In an effort to eat healthier, I started making my own dressings. My friends and family absolutely loved my dressings and encouraged me to bottle them. During my journey to start my own business, I was confronted with a health scare. I then had to pivot and begin another journey to battle breast cancer. Now, eating healthy was more important than ever! After an 18-month long battle, I won, thank God, and continued to pursue my mission to make healthier options available to everyone. Despite the challenges, here I am today, with drench dressings & marinades selling in over 3000 stores and restaurants in 45 states including Sprouts, Whole Foods, Meijer, Wegmans, Fresh Thyme, The Fresh Market, Central Market & Thrive Market. I'm proud to announce that drench dressings are ranked the #1 growing natural dressings in the country! (SPINS Data) I can't wait for you to try my dressings & marinades. You'll fall in love.
