Perfectly Ripe Avo's, Every Time

Let's talk avocados - specifically, those rich, creamy Hass avocados that are in season and freshly picked by our talented growers right here in Gisborne.

Picked with care each week, these avocados arrive at your door ready to ripen naturally—no over-handling, squeezing, or refrigeration required. That means you'll enjoy perfect avocados every time, with none of the guesswork.

Why Avoid Squeezing?
We all love the satisfying moment of a perfectly ripe avocado, but squeezing can cause bruising. Instead, try the gentle touch: press lightly on the top by the stem. If it gives just a little, it's ready!

Natural Ripening at Home
Simply leave your avocados on the counter and let nature do its thing. To speed up the ripening process, place them in a paper bag with a banana or apple—an easy trick that really works!

Your Avocado, Your Way
Whether you're mashing it for toast, adding it to your salad, or whipping up a guacamole for the weekend, these Hass avocados will give you that perfect buttery texture and rich flavour every time.
