        <content>Yes, that's right.  Paul Bertolli, artisan pork master, has slowly moved his company that much closer toward humanely-raised, hormone-free mass market food. 

For $15 you get two 1 1/2 pound portions of heat-n-serve meatloaf.  Well worth it.

Get it while you can.

      <content>I know.  It seems cruel right.  But I sat on it for a month because, at that time, I bought the last box.  I waited until I saw another shipment before posting on Chowhound.

Along those lines, was just there the other day.  The meatloaf is still in stock. Looks like it will be an ongoing item.

My understanding is that Paul Bertolli is looking to make more of these mass market products to supplement revenue growth re: the more limited items.</content>

      <content>Humanely raised? You mean the animals aren't told they'll soon be at Costco in plastic?

Google couldn't find "meatloaf" on a site search at framani.com. Was it a one-time item for old friend Cost'co?

By the way, does this meatloaf have the tight, smooth texture that comes from proper weighting as it cools, or is the texture typically open and coarse?</content>

      <content>We have tried it a few times and it is pretty good for the price. The texture is tight and smooth.</content>

      <content>I purchased it at the San Juan Capistrano Costco.  It was ok but way too salty.  I'll stick with Billy's Market in San Clemente for my m,eatloaf which is not precooked.</content>
