I dropped a mandible at reading this, as I might have written precisely the
same!

For a low-cost product, the Almaden is surprisingly tasty, if not quite up to
Harvey's standards.

Trader Joe's usually doesn't seem to keep the same brands very long; for
several years they had a product - which I thought was branded as "Solera" -
that struck me as better than Harvey's, but I haven't seen it there for a
while. What they're selling now, whose name escapes me (I'm at the office) is
more than decent.
