If so, can you direct me to which one(s)? Thanks in advance. Wed May 17 00:08:27 -0700 2006 0 theconiglio 1 42210 Trader Joe carries it. However... I used to buy the sauce (excellent) until I got a batch of some spoiled jars. I wrote Mario's company a letter and got zero response. No more sauce for me.

Constantly changing stock, you know.

That was a monster of a flavorful sauce. Maybe Armandino will pirate a copy of the recipe for us...
