I'm a sucker for a good puttanesca (no sardines or artichokes), and Barilla is my favorite brand of pasta sauce. So Barilla's green & black olive variety is a favorite. Unfortunately, it's a rather unique concoction that most supermarkets prefer to abstain from carrying to save space for staples like marinara, tomato & basil, etc. It used to be more widely available, but I've spent the last several weeks trying to hunt down a single jar. I went to Giant, two Blooms, Shoppers Food Warehouse, Target, Harris Teeter, and Safeway. They all had anemic Barilla selections, and none carried the olive sauce. In desperation, I'd tried some other brands with olives as an ingredient, but none held a candle to Barilla's particular flavor. Finally, today I thought to go to the Barilla website where I found a product locator which tells you exactly what stores in your area recently sold any particular product. The 2nd Giant supermarket that I didn't try was the only one in town that carried it. I went there today and bought three jars to stock up because supermarkets seem to have a habit of discontinuing any items I start buying a lot of. Mmm, olives... |
