Berkeley Bowl stocks nut oil thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 1 other Bay Area grocer.
Berkeley Bowl carries olive oils in real depth, 152 SKUs against a fleet median of 31, so a new entry there is the Nth option, and its per-unit price would likely sit near the top of a crowded shelf.

Lead with the nut oil, and position the olive oils as a finishing or gift item.
Berkeley Bowl merchandises 16 of the 17 categories the brand sells.
