What You Should Know

You'd find this 12 oz Organic Italian Romano Vinaigrette on the salad dressing shelf (or refrigerated case) at Whole Foods, grabbed for weeknight salads, brunch spreads, or to brighten grain bowls. It gives a wholesome, slightly upscale vibe — tangy, savory with a hint of cheese — but the smooth, stable emulsion and presence of additives like xanthan gum point to industrial formulation and extended shelf stability, clues that it’s more processed than a homemade vinaigrette.
