That is crazy that they said no one was buying it! Especially if you were buying case lots. I was buying it regularly as well. Yeah, Whole Foods has some nice olive oil it is just so much more expensive than Trader Joes. Thanks for the comment.

I, too “was” a fan of First Lady unfiltered olive oil. I was at Trader Joe's in Nashville TN yesterday (a 2 and 1/2 hour drive for me!) and inquired about it… the young woman I spoke to went “in back” to inquire further and reported to me that TJ's quit carrying it “because no one was buying it.”

I was getting case lots delivered to me by friends coming down to my SW Indiana home for visits!!!!!

I did not notice any Monte Pellino either

However … while in Nashville yesterday I also went to Whole Foods and found a lovely, cloudy 100 percent Sicilian grapes/Sicilian pressed/bottled extra virgin “cold extracted, mechanically pressed” oil called “Frantoia” which I have opened and which has a very interesting, almost grassy flavor. No peppery bite whatsoever.

Bad new is the 33.8 ounce bottle coasts $30.

I know Uma, I know… it is disappointing that both Monte Pollino and First Lady Reserve are gone!

After being accustomed to T.J.'s First Lady Reserve Olive Oil nothing else tastes good enough. I want it back. Surely it must be being sold under a different name. Products don't disappear like that. Nothing else I've tasted tastes like an olive and I really want some.BADLY!!! Any news and advice will be greatly appreciated. umainorange@gmail.com

Flooding with email would be one thing to do, but I do think that they might have financial problems as well. Another thing may be that their provider just cancelled the contract or something like that. Probably in the near future you will see that back on the shelves or something similar from a different provider.

I love both of these olive oils, and I believe they recently quit carrying the First Lady Reserve. I am extremely disappointed, as I go through a bottle every two weeks. I spoke with someone, and the product was slow moving. I want to know who the Italian supplier was, so I may find it elsewhere.
