This is our most frequently asked question! Our loyal fans are always on the hunt for our delicious products, and because we make over 138 retail items, it is hard to find them all in one store. Try our new product locator to find the store nearest you that carries the flavor you are looking for. If you cannot find it, please make a special request from your local grocery store and contact our consumer services so we can advise our sales team. Your voice does count! Our dressings are found in the produce department, in the refrigerated set.
In 1958 the Hawkins family purchased Hurschell’s Lighthouse Restaurant in the small lakeside town of Hope, Idaho. As a point of difference, they renamed it The Litehouse, and used the artwork of a great aunt as the logo. Back then, there were no LITE products. The salad dressing industry first introduced lite and fat free products in the late l980’s due to consumer trends and demand.
We sure do…virtual tours that is. Litehouse has 6 facilities located in Sandpoint, Idaho – Lowell, Michigan – Hurricane, Utah, where we make our cheese, dairy products, dressings, dips and sauces. Click here for a peek at how our award winning artisan blue cheese is handcrafted.
While our Manufacturing facilities do not use nuts or nut products in our dressings and dips; we do not have what would be considered a “nut-free” facility. The nut-free designation indicates that we have no nut products throughout the facilities including employee lunches, vending machines and visitors. Currently we are not following this level of control for a nut-free designation.
Yes we do! We make our own blue cheese, buttermilk, greek yogurt, yogurt, mayo and sour cream that is used in our dressings. The milk used is pasteurized. The eggs used in our mayo based dressings are also pasteurized.
The majority of Litehouse products are naturally gluten free, and are designated as such on the products pages, and the packaging.

We are very proud to carry the GFCO seal on our organic products. We also have NonGMO Project Verified line of products that include our Green Garden brand and our Instantly Fresh Herbs.
Great question, as we want you to always have the freshest product available. Dressing product codes are on the top of the lid. Dip product codes are printed on the side of the tub near the top rim. Herb product codes are printed on the skinny neck band that serves as a tear-away tamper evident band.
The date on our packaging is a best by date. This date indicates Litehouse guarantees the quality up to this date. After that date there will be some deterioration of quality (think of the milk in your refrigerator).
Litehouse Instantly Fresh herbs are used l:l. One teaspoon fresh equals one teaspoon freeze-dried.
Our herbs rehydrate instantly upon receiving moisture…they do not need to be cooked to release their flavors. Please do not refrigerate after opening, or they will absorb moisture and lose shelf life before you need them.
