Propane in Temple City, CA

“I have been a frequent shopper at this Super A Food store for 7 years and they usually have the items that I'm looking for, unlike some supermarkets. One main reason why I shop at Super A is that they always had my favorite hard to find item with a Super A Okay price, which is Golden California longhorn mild cheddar cheese in the16 oz size. Sometimes I used to also buy that cheese at now defunct Valu-Mart, which used to be further up North on Rosemead Blvd. I noticed that particular cheese has been missing from the shelves for two months. I could not even find it at Vallarta market in Pasadena last week when I shopped there, which they always also had that in stock, if Super A happened to be out on those rare occasions. I went shopping there this morning to buy chorizo, good red lentil pasta, many other items, and yes Golden California longhorn cheese was replaced by the lousy Colby jack and and yucky sharp cheddar. I had that sinking feeling the longhorn style cheddar got "the boot," yet the shelf label of Golden California Longhorn was still attached on the shelf where the Colby Jack was placed. Still is I'm sure. The "Clearance special" tag below the label was an indication that the item will not be restocked. While leaving the deli aisle gently pushing a lightly filled shopping cart, a Super A employee with black hair and glasses was walking toward me with a cart full of boxes and I stopped to ask her if Golden California longhorn mild cheddar has been discontinued and she told me it indeed has, but may be back in stock again, since the manager has been making a great effort in trying to order that particular product. The Golden California mild cheddar cheese in the 16 oz block rectangular style has also been discontinued. She also told me that Golden California longhorn mild cheddar has been the best seller among that somewhat obscure brand of cheese and many customer's have been asking about it, since it last appeared on the shelf shortly before Christmas. She sounded surprised and disappointed as well that it is no longer in stock, at least for the moment, yet she sounded positive about it's return to the shelf. Hopefully it's only temporarily discontinued, due to the current listeria outbreak and recalls of many brands of cheese, though no contamination has been mentioned among that brand. Mild longhorn cheese is the only cheese I like, especially that brand since it has that distinctive caramel like taste and smooth texture to it unlike any other cheese and tastes soo good melted on chorizo as well as raw slices on tropical fruits and cantaloupe. That style of cheese has been a rare find over the last ten years and Golden California longhorn mild cheddar was the only cheese in that style I could find around my area, like Super A in Temple City. It is the best cheese in my opinion. I'm so sad to see it go. It's like losing a best friend. The rectangular brick version of the mild cheddar tasted okay, but not quite like the one and only longhorn. Whoever made the decision, to discontinue the longhorn mild cheddar cheese, most likely the manufacturers and management of the company, gave the hook to the lead singer and star of the brand. The Queen Diva or the King of cheddar! Whatever you prefer to call it. lol. That cheese is pure GOLD! I applaud the manager's sincere efforts at trying to retain and restock Golden California longhorn mild cheddar cheese in the 16 oz size and I hope it makes a miraculous comeback to the shelves soon. I'm sure many more customers do too. In the meantime, I will continue to shop at Super A Foods for the menudo, chorizo, and that golden orange Mexican papaya I like with raisins.”
