California Avocados

certified organic Ettinger and Hass avocados

Hass (large & small), Pinkerton, Bacon, Reed, Fuerte, Zutano

(seasonal stock varies)

The beauty of living along the West Coast is our daily abundance of certified organic produce. Our mineral-rich avocados are all from California, and the variety changes from season to season, and even within a season.

Currently, we have the good standby, Hass, and the long, pear-shaped Ettinger and Pinkerton.

Ettinger has a subtle, buttery taste – but is the hardest to peel.

Perfect for scooping out with a spoon! Workers at OA have recently been sighted eating Ettinger like it’s ice cream.

Hass and Pinkerton both darken as they ripen, are easy to peel, and have a pronounced creamy taste – the more traditional avocado taste.
