Fruete Avocado

Product Overview:
The Fuerte Avocado is often hailed as the "original" high-quality avocado. Known for its distinct pear-like shape and medium-to-large size, the Fuerte is a winter-to-spring variety that stays green even when fully ripe. Sourced from orchards that prioritize tree-ripened quality, its flesh is dense, buttery, and remarkably smooth. Unlike the pebbly-skinned Hass, the Fuerte features a thin, leathery skin that is easy to peel, making it a favorite for those who appreciate a more refined texture and a mild, sophisticated flavor.

Key Features:

Silky Buttery Consistency: Selected for its high oil content, which provides a rich mouthfeel similar to high-grade butter.

Non-Browning Flesh: Known for having a slower oxidation rate than other varieties, keeping your dishes looking fresh for longer.

SQA Monitored Selection: Every fruit is hand-inspected for "neck-integrity"—ensuring the tapered top is firm and free from bruising. We check for a smooth, matte finish and verify that the fruit yields to gentle, even pressure at the base, an SQA-approved sign of perfect maturity (SQA Checked).

Easy-Peel Skin: The thin, pliable skin can be stripped away easily, leaving the beautiful green interior intact for professional presentation.

Storage Instructions:
Store firm Fuerte avocados at room temperature until they yield slightly to pressure. Unlike the Hass, the skin will remain green when ripe, so rely on the touch test. Once ripe, store in the refrigerator for up to 2–3 days. If you only use half, keep the pit in the remaining half and wrap tightly in plastic to maintain freshness.
