Not sure why TJ's hasn't figured this out and devoted a little more real estate to this item.
TJ's also has them in a jar but they're pretty lame IMO and much too oily.
Cholula-I buy both types from TJ's and I agree the jarred ones are a little oily-but I douse thim with lemon juice.
The fresh ones are good-if a little dry(some yougurt dip and lemon help)
i used to get hand made ones at a Lebanese market-but they are not making them any more.
You need to make a good friend at your local TJ's.I have a few.They are very defensive about me
