Who owns Hidden Valley Ranch?
Birthed in 1954, Hidden Valley Ranch is named after an actual ranch in California where the owner, Steve Henson, routinely wowed guests with his signature salad dressing, so much so that they wanted to bring extra home with them (via Hidden Valley).
Since 1972 Hidden Valley Ranch has been owned by Clorox. Forty-five years on, the Hidden Valley brand has grown far beyond its rural California beginnings. The ranch is a category all its own, a flavor beloved the world over, and not just on salads. Ranch dressing has become a staple of the American palette.
The ranch is now far and away the most popular salad dressing in the country cited, a study by the Association for Dressings and Sauces in which 40% of Americans said the ranch is their favorite dressing 30% more than any other.
