Hidden Valley Ranch: the American sauce that dips everything and seasons the rest!

Did you know Hidden Valley Ranch comes from a real ranch?

In 1954, Steve Henson worked as a plumber and cook in Alaska. He developed a creamy dressing made of mayonnaise, buttermilk and aromatic herbs for his colleagues. When he returned to California, he bought a ranch in Santa Barbara he called the Hidden Valley Ranch. His guests loved his sauce so much that he started selling packets of seasoning mix by mail so people could make it at home.

The success was so big that in 1972, Steve Henson sold the brand to Clorox — yes, the same company as the bleach! Clorox grew Hidden Valley to a national and international level. Today, Hidden Valley Ranch is the best-selling sauce in the US, consumed by millions of Americans every day.

Frequently asked questions about Hidden Valley Ranch

What do you eat ranch sauce with?

With everything! Americans put ranch on their pizzas, their chicken wings (Buffalo wings are NOTHING without ranch!), their crudités, their burgers, their fries, their salads... and some even on their pizzas. The rule is simple: if it's edible, ranch makes it better!

Is it very different from caesar or mayonnaise?

Yes! Ranch is lighter than pure mayonnaise, with a buttermilk tang and fresh herb notes (chives, dill, garlic, onion). It's creamy but not heavy — really in a category of its own. Try to believe!
