Question 1

What’s floating in the Sesame Soy Vinaigrette?

Accepted Answer

Wondering about the floating bits in our Sesame Soy Vinaigrette? Don’t worry, it is just fresh Ontario honey! Since we skip preservatives and mixing agents, natural separation happens. It’s completely normal and safe to enjoy. Plus, our dressings are shelf-life tested by SGS Canada and stay fresh for up to 11 months.

Question 2

Do you need to refrigerate the dressings after opening?

Accepted Answer

One of our most popular questions! We have had our dressings shelf life tested at SGS Canada. There was no change in the chemical composition of the dressing;

Sesame Soy Vinaigrette for 11 months
Herb Vinaigrette for 9 months

Question 3

The Balsamic Vinegarette is solid or has a thick substance on the bottom?

Accepted Answer

We’re often asked about the black substance at the bottom of the bottle or why our Balsamic Vinaigrette sometimes feels thick or hard.

First things first... do not refrigerate the dressing! We use aged Modena balsamic vinegar, which is naturally thick and rich. That’s the dark substance you see settling at the bottom. We also blend in fresh Ontario honey, adding even more body and richness.

These high-quality ingredients with no preservatives can cause the vinaigrette to thicken or seem hard to pour at times, but that’s totally normal. Just give the bottle a really good shake and enjoy! It hasn’t gone bad. It is just real food, made the real way.

Each type offers a unique texture and flavor, making them versatile for different salad creations.

Question 8

Is salad with dressing healthy?

Accepted Answer

Bottled dressings are often rich sources of saturated fat, calories, sodium, and added sugar. You're eating more salad for good health.

Question 9

Does all types of salad need dressing?

A salad is not complete without a dressing. ... Since oils are a good source of fat, you should try Merci Mon Ami dressings that are full-fat salad dressing using oil and vinegar.

Is Balsamic dressing bad for you?

Balsamic vinegar is a safe food additive that contains no fat and very little natural sugar. It's been proven effective to lower cholesterol and stabilize blood pressure. Some research suggests it can also work as an appetite suppressant, and it contains strains of probiotic bacteria.
