Specialty Food Association

Taste the authentic recipes and premium, California-fresh ingredients at Booth 1943!

New York, NY- May 24, 2022:  Bella Sun Luci is on a mission to transform any home cook into an Italian chef! The Chico, California based brand will debut its new Italian Kitchen product line at the Summer Fancy Food Show. Bella Sun Luci’s Italian Kitchen line includes artisan salad dressings made from 100% olive oil, sauce starters to craft a robust “all-day” sauce in mere minutes, ready rice with a flavorful punch, and seasonings that quickly turn any dish into a delicacy.

Woman-owned and family-operated, Bella Sun Luci stays true to its roots, sourcing local and high-quality ingredients, including California grown tomatoes and extra virgin olive oil for this new product line. The brand is especially proud to feature only 100% olive oil in the new line of premium salad dressings. “We created our home-style salad dressings, so you don’t have to. They’re made the way you would prepare them at home, with 100% olive oil and fresh, flavorful ingredients” says Mary Mooney, owner and CEO of Bella Sun Luci. Our new line, including the salad dressings and sauce starters, bring authentic homemade flavor to the busy home chef.”

In three (3) delicious flavors, there’s a dressing to pair perfectly with any salad; California Vinaigrette made with sweet California oranges and wildflower honey, Sonoma Vinaigrette rich with garlic and sun dried tomatoes, and Balsamic Vinaigrette prepared with sweet and fragrant aged balsamic vinegar.

The Italian Kitchen line also includes Bella Sun Luci’s new sauce starters. Add the starter to a can of diced tomatoes for the flavor of an all-day sauce in minutes or stir into your favorite dishes for deep bold flavor. The Tomato and Pepper sauce starter is a delicious base for a fast arrabiata and traditionalists will love the classic taste of vine-ripe tomatoes and fresh herbs of the Tomato Basil starter. Don’t forget the Tuscan Garden variety- superb for a mouthwatering chicken cacciatore!

 As the first and only U.S. producer of sun-dried tomatoes packed in 100% olive oil and creators of the only plant-based tomato jerky on the market, Bella Sun Luci has been pioneering unique, high-quality, delicious products for over 30 years. Their expansion to the Italian Kitchen line is an opportunity to bring rich Italian flavor and wholesome California ingredients into every kitchen.
