Avocado FUERTE Online Shop

The Fuerte Avocado originates from Mexico, it is a cross between a Guatemalan avocado and a Mexican one.

The tree is vigorous, very resistant to cold and wind (hence its name). It was for a long time the most produced variety, later overtaken by the Hass. Israel is a good producer while, in recent times, its cultivation has significantly decreased in the United States.

The fruit has a smooth, matte green skin, very easy to peel. Its shape is elongated and the size is medium to large. The pulp inside is yellow-green. Its texture is creamy without fibrousness, and the amount of oil present is very high (up to 20%). The pit is quite large and clings to the pulp. The Fuerte avocado bears fruit quite well, but alternates. It can be harvested from November to February. The ripening process after harvesting is quite fast. Once ripe, the skin does not turn dark, but its pulp becomes soft.
