How Ranch Love Conquered the World
HIDDEN VALLEY RANCH STARTED IN 1954
That’s when Steve Henson and his wife, Gayle, purchased 120 acres of sprawling land nestled in the mountains outside of Santa Barbara, California, and started a dude ranch. Over the years, Steve had been perfecting his signature salad dressing, a tangy blend of buttermilk, savory herbs and spices. His ranch guests couldn’t get enough of the stuff, and Hidden Valley Ranch dressing was invented.
It wasn’t long before guests were hounding Steve for jars of his ranch dressing to bring home. Word spread quickly, and pretty soon Steve was sending little packets of his original ranch all over the country. Eventually, we purchased the mail-order business so we could bring that bold, tangy flavor to even more ranch-loving fans.
YES, THE HIDDEN VALLEY RANCH was REAL
FROM THE RANCH TO THE WORLD
It’s safe to say that the world’s love of ranch has earned Hidden Valley Ranch — HVR for short — a place in popular culture. Now, people across the country proudly dip and dunk their wings and fries in creamy ranch, or drizzle it over burgers and pizza. They rub savory ranch seasoning onto roasts, stir it into stews, bake it into casseroles and shake it over popcorn. Some passionate fans take it to the next level, buying it by the keg or setting up ranch fountains at weddings, and sharing their love of ranch on social media like never before.
