You're talking about the glass bottle? I buy that one too, but not
this time. Not sure if they even had anything other than the garlic
flavor, but I was going specifically for the big bottle. Their EVOO
selections have been quite "varied" for the last year due to all the
problems in oliveland.

I'm on a Chosen Foods oil kick now. Finding it at Grocery Outlet for
slightly less than $10. Chosen Blend: high oleic organic safflower
oil & a blend of avocado & coconut oil. I haven't given up on TJ's
sunflower seed oil either.
