Little Creek Dressing Okanagan's Original 295 ml
Little Creek Dressing Okanagan's Original is a 295 ml (10 fl oz) organic vinaigrette. Raspberry puree, lemon juice, gluten-free tamari, nutritional yeast, garlic, and herbs sit in high oleic sunflower oil with white distilled vinegar. One tablespoon (15 ml) is the labelled serving.
Denison family members still own the company. Mixing takes place at a HACCP verified facility in Kelowna after production left Little Creek Gardens in 2014. Early lots used raspberries, basil, and garlic from that west-shore farm; later bottles bought from other farmers whose names are not listed.
Shake well. Refrigerate after opening. Shop copy still points to salads, hot or cold pasta, rice, vegetables, and use as a dip or marinade. Donna wrote the recipe in 1995 for the farm's organic greens.

Our Canadian score
Very strong Canadian ties
Company’s own label claim: “We proudly make our dressings in our HACCP verified facility in BC, Canada.”
Okanagan's Original is mixed in a HACCP verified Kelowna plant by Little Creek Dressing, still Denison-owned. Donna bottled the first vinaigrette on Little Creek Gardens in 1995, then moved production into the city facility in 2014. Pages do not name the farms behind today's sunflower oil, lemon, soy, or raspberry puree.
