Product Overview:
The Hass Avocado is the undisputed king of avocados, prized for its superior flavor and long shelf life. Sourced from the best growing regions, these avocados are easily identified by their thick, bumpy, and dark-colored skin. Unlike other varieties, the Hass has an incredibly high fat content, which translates to a richer, denser, and more buttery mouthfeel. When fully ripe, the flesh is a beautiful pale green that transitions to a golden yellow near the pit, offering a flavor that is consistently creamy and savory.
Key Features:
Ultra-Creamy Texture: Selected for the highest oil content of any variety, ensuring a smooth, spreadable consistency every time.
Distinctive Protective Rind: The thick, pebbly skin protects the delicate fruit inside from bruising, making it the most durable and reliable variety.
SQA Monitored Selection: Every fruit is hand-inspected for a firm yet resilient feel and a healthy, dark-green to purple-black luster. We check that the stem remains attached to ensure the interior stays fresh and free from browning (SQA Checked).
Rich Nutty Undertones: Offers a more intense and complex flavor profile than thinner-skinned green varieties.

Storage Instructions:
Store firm, green-skinned Hass avocados at room temperature until the skin turns dark purple or black and yields to gentle pressure.
