Well, that is a dilemma... You can order the 16 oz. bottles on Amazon.com if you can't find them locally. I would assume you can use another oil but not sure the flavor would be the same. If you try another oil, let us know how the pretzels turn out. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />
