Mooney Farms' Line of Vinaigrettes Named 'Salad Dressing Product of the Year' In 7th Annual Mindful Awards Program
Annual Awards Program Recognizes Top Mindful Companies, Services and Products Within the Packaged Goods Industry LOS ANGELES, June 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The 2025 Mindful Awards Program, an independent recognition platform highlighting conscious companies and products that mindfully make waves in the ever-expanding world of consumer-packaged goods, today announced that Mooney Farms, a certified woman-owned family farm based in Chico, California, is the recipient of 'Salad Dressing Product of the Year' in the 7th annual awards program. As a vertically integrated company, Mooney Farms oversees every step of its production process - from sourcing ingredients to packaging - ensuring quality and sustainability. Their line of Bella Sun Luci salad dressings is uniquely crafted with all-natural, premium ingredients, free from preservatives and artificial additives - and, notably, free from seed oils. Using only 100% olive oil, sourced directly from the family estate, the company ensures each vinaigrette delivers rich, unique flavor along with health benefits. Mooney Farms' California Olive Oil is cold-pressed from Arbequina olives for freshness and purity and then paired with De Nigris Italian balsamic vinegar, raw wildflower honey, and sun-dried tomatoes. With this at the center, Bella Sun Luci's salad dressings are crafted traditionally - similarly to being prepared in a kitchen. The line of dressings includes five varieties with Balsamic Vinaigrette being the most classic. It is crafted using 25-year barrel-aged balsamic vinegar from Italy, and its vibrant flavor is elevated by hints of lemon and raw honey. The refreshing and perfectly balanced product makes it ideal for salad or dipping. Bella Sun Luci's California Vinaigrette is formulated with locally sourced honey and sweet oranges, producing a flavor that blends rich vinegar and fresh herbs and spices. The Sonoma Vinaigrette offers garlic and a mixture of Italian herbs, infused with sun-dried tomatoes for a bold yet sophisticated, semi-sweet taste that elevates any dish. The Champagne Vinaigrette is handcrafted in small batches, combining the subtle sweetness of California champagne vinegar with herbs. Lastly, the Meyers Lemon Vinaigrette with Basil and Wildflower Honey delivers a bright flavor due to locally sourced Meyer lemons. The demand for consumer packaged goods (CPGs) remains largely consistent and constant even as consumer preferences evolve and change. The CPG market size is forecast to increase by USD 1,476.3 billion between 2024 and 2029. In 2025, sustainability is the CPG sector's newest consideration along with health-conscious consumer-driven trends and a shift toward e-commerce. With consumers relying more heavily on third party validation when making new purchasing decisions, the Mindful Awards help brands and services stand out by showcasing products and services that represent the best in transparent, fair, natural, organic, sustainable, healthy and delicious innovations. All nominations have been evaluated by an independent panel of experts within the consumer-packaged goods industry. 'Made with 100% olive oil, Bella Sun Luci's Salad Vinaigrette line represents a shift in the category, offering a healthy alternative. Many popular dressings rely on inflammatory seed and canola oils, MSG, and artificial preservatives. As seed oil consumption has skyrocketed, so have rates of chronic diseases,' said Travis Grant, Managing Director, Mindful Awards. 'Bella Sun Luci is making mindful waves by blending tradition, innovation, and sustainability into every product they create. Their salad dressings enhance both the flavor of meals and overall wellness. With each bottle, Mooney Farms is inspiring a healthier, more flavorful way of eating.' The 2025 Mindful Awards winners range from groundbreaking food and beverage products to sustainable household solutions, redefining consumer experiences worldwide. This year's program attracted thousands of nominations from companies all over the world whose innovations enhance daily living, promote sustainability, and improve quality of life. 'At Bella Sun Luci, we take a stand against the widespread use of seed oils and preservatives in the food industry. Our vinaigrettes align with our values of quality, authenticity, and overall wellness, and now, we are the only producer of a 100% olive oil salad dressing line on the market. Each bottle is a testament to our commitment to wholesome foods,' said Mary Mooney, founder of Mooney Farms. 'I'm honored to accept the 'Salad Dressing Product of the Year' award from Mindful Innovation. We take no shortcuts in creating the perfect fusion of flavor and nutrition. We source only the finest ingredients to bring you vinaigrettes that not only excite your taste buds but also nourish your body.'

Breakthrough From NOVA Named 'Mushroom Powder Product of the Year' In 2025 Mindful Awards Program
LOS ANGELES, June 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The 2025 Mindful Awards Program, an independent recognition platform highlighting conscious companies and products that mindfully make waves in the ever-expanding world of consumer-packaged goods, today announced that Breakthrough from NOVA , a trailblazer in the realm of women's holistic wellness, has been selected as 'Mushroom Powder Product of the Year' in the 7th annual awards program. Breakthrough from NOVA is a dynamic wellness drink mix for performance, energy, and focus. The functional mushroom powder-based formula is engineered to adapt to the unique demands of women and support the full spectrum of a woman's body, brain, and being. The NSF Certified for Sport® drink mix blends seven adaptogens, including a proprietary, clinically tested, full-spectrum mushroom compound made from six organic U.S.-grown species: cordyceps, lion's mane, reishi, turkey tail, shiitake, and king trumpet. Breakthrough is also beneficial for women navigating GLP-1 regimens as it helps to support gut diversity and microbiome health. Adaptogens like Rhodiola rosea (Rhodiolife®) and cordyceps also help to restore energy and endurance as well as preserve muscle. The formula's D-ribose promotes cellular recovery, and its CBD + biotech targets the ECS, reinforcing hormonal balance and emotional resilience. With lion's mane delivering superior gut-brain support, the gut is better prepared to intake nutrients. Breakthrough's mushrooms are full-spectrum and unextracted, preserving their naturally occurring beta-glucans and polyphenols to offer deeper gut and immune support. In addition, Rhodiolife® has also been clinically tested to help regulate cortisol, support mood and muscles during exercise and enhance recovery. NOVA's patented biotech (DehydraTECH™) delivers CBD with 10x absorption, while D-ribose, a naturally occurring sugar critical to ATP production, helps to fight fatigue and fuel cellular energy. The demand for consumer packaged goods (CPGs) remains largely consistent and constant even as consumer preferences evolve and change. The CPG market size is forecast to increase by USD 1,476.3 billion between 2024 and 2029.

'Breakthrough isn't just a supplement—it's a science-backed power move for the modern, multidimensional woman, representing a revolutionary fusion of ancient wisdom and biotech-driven performance. Humans are unique and many single-ingredient solutions serve as one size fits all products that don't take into consideration that true wellness is the ability to adapt and empower individual bodies to thrive in every dimension,' said Travis Grant, Managing Director, Mindful Awards. 'Breakthrough's formula makes it a truly adaptive system that tunes itself to what each woman needs most. Mental clarity. Physical power. Recovery. Calm. Balance. Breakthrough meets women exactly where they are and supports them wherever they're going.' With scientifically proven benefits in performance, endurance, energy metabolism, stress resilience, and immune support, Breakthrough is designed to elevate physical, cognitive, and emotional wellness. Clinical trials show increased peak power, stamina, and endurance. 'At NOVA, we believe wellness shouldn't shrink a woman, it should fuel her expansion. Not every woman is the same, so our products, like Breakthrough, celebrate women as the complex, ever-evolving forces of nature they are. Breakthrough was formulated to be a revolution in a packet, challenging what wellness looks like and who it's actually for,' said Kathryn Robinson, Founder of NOVA. 'We're proud to accept the Mindful Award for 'Mushroom Powder Product of the Year!'
