About Tessemae's
Founded 2009 · US
Greg Vetter started Tessemae's by selling his mother's salad dressing at a local Baltimore farmers market. The brand pivoted into Whole Foods + Target through a years-long category-creation push around all-natural condiments. One of the earlier DTC food brands to publicly disclose retail-vs-DTC revenue mix.

- 02Distribution in 14,000+ retail stores
- 03Whole Foods + Target launches predate most CPG-DTC peers
Notable for the schema.org audit
Tessemae's ecommerce side is the smaller half of the business — the storefront reflects a retail-dominant brand running DTC as a brand + subscription channel rather than a primary revenue driver.

What this Schema grade reveals
B-grade is the modal grade for Shopify Plus brands at Tessemae's's scale — the core types (Organization, Product, BreadcrumbList) are present but optional rich-result fields (GTIN, brand, AggregateRating) typically get dropped. The fix path is usually a single Liquid edit per missing field rather than installing more apps.
Breakdown: 1 homepage finding. The live tool ships a copy-paste-ready Liquid snippet for each finding — every finding is fixable in theme.liquid without installing additional apps.
Cross-check with the App Stack Detector to see which Schema-emitting apps are installed — most Schema problems on Plus tenants come from conflicting Review schema between Loox + Judge.me + the theme rather than missing apps.
