Over the years I’ve normally bought a Kroger-brand blended extra-virgin o.o. that sells for about $7 in a 25 ounce bottle and probably used 2 or 3 a year. Recently Kroger had an event featuring foods from Spain and the main attraction seemed to be one-Liter bottles of “Alonia” evoo selling for $10 each. What struck me as odd is that the 2 stores near me (both serving towns with about 5,000 souls each) had each stocked at least 60 cases of the oil (720 bottles...yes I counted them). I thought that’s quite a lot considering that this area is a blend of typical Midwestern farm folk and commuting suburbanites who eat half of their meals outside the home anyway. Indeed, now that the event has ended one of the stores has dropped the price to $5 a bottle while the other hasn’t (yet) and still has 40 cases to sell.
So now I’m wondering...how much olive oil do you use? And yes, I did buy one bottle at $10 but haven’t tried it yet. Wondering if I should get another at $5 before it’s gone. Anyone here used “Alonia”?
