There are various scenarios which may come into play here. 1) The valley was never originally hidden, but was hidden by its discoverers; 2) The valley has always been hidden; 3) "Hidden" is not an adjective, but is instead a surname (i.e. Mr. Hidden owns Hidden Valley); 4) The valley is not a real place but instead a metaphor for an idealized salad dressing industry.
Considering the first scenario, think of what kind of bastards would hide a valley which apparently yields free-flowing salad dressings. Furthermore, the issue of how to hide a valley once it's been discovered is a whole 'nother discussion that I'm not willing to undertake. So, unless Harry potter is in the eploy of the Hidden Valley folks, we can cross out that option.
Scenario number two does nothing to further progress. If the valley has always been hidden, how could someone find it and depict it on the labels of salad dressing bottles? Thus, the valley must have at some point been un-hidden.
Scenario three has been deemed "unmagical" by Matt Forrest. Thus, we shall discard it as a possibility.
Finally, scenario four reminds me too much of an english class, so it shall therefore also be discarded.
I've provided a flow-chart to help clarify the possibilities:
Unfortunately, this leaves the question still unanswered. But, as Eric stated last night, who the hell cares about what brand of ranch dressing you have? Ranch dressing is ranch dressing, and they're all quite tasty.
I hope you enjoy thinking about that as much as I enjoyed making that flow chart.

I miss ranch dressing. They don't have it here, and if they do I haven't found it.
