Italian Dressing Thomy 3 L at a glance

It delivers 164 kcal per 100 ml and up to 100 servings of 30 ml per bottle, with a consistent, gently acidic flavour from the first plate to the last. Shake and serve.
What is Italian Dressing Thomy?
Italian Dressing Thomy is a vinaigrette-style emulsion seasoned in the Italian manner: red wine vinegar and a hint of aged balsamic give a rounded acidity, while iodised salt, garlic (0.2%) and a 0.1% blend of aromatic herbs (parsley, thyme, oregano) build the savoury profile. Xanthan gum and maize starch keep the oil and vinegar emulsified, so the dressing pours evenly and clings to the leaves instead of pooling at the bottom of the bowl.
Thomy: a Swiss brand since 1930
Thomy was founded in Basel in 1930 by Hans Thomi, whose family had milled mustard in Langenthal since 1907. The brand introduced its iconic aluminium tube in 1934 and its mayonnaise in 1951, and has been part of the Nestlé group since 1971. Today Thomy condiments for the Swiss and German markets are produced in Switzerland and Germany, a guarantee of consistent, food-safe quality batch after batch.
Flavour and texture
The dressing has a smooth, slightly creamy texture and a balanced sweet-and-sour profile that never overwhelms delicate ingredients. The elderberry juice concentrate softens the sharpness of the vinegar, making it suitable for mixed leaves, raw vegetables and grain bowls alike. Because it is pre-emulsified, it stays homogeneous on a buffet line far longer than a freshly whisked vinaigrette.
How to use it in a professional kitchen
Shake the bottle, then dress mixed salads, rocket, tomatoes and grilled vegetables just before service to keep the leaves crisp. Use roughly 30 ml per portion, or about 15 ml when finishing a composed plate. Beyond salads it works as a marinade for grilled courgettes and peppers, as a finishing drizzle on cold roast beef or mozzarella, and as a quick base for cold pasta and grain salads.
Storage and yield
Store the sealed bottle at ambient temperature, away from direct light and heat. After opening, keep it refrigerated and shake before each use; the resealable 3-litre format is sized for salad stations, self-service counters and high-throughput buffets. One bottle yields up to 100 servings of 30 ml, which makes portion costing simple and predictable.
