Organic Ettinger Avocados
Did you know there are hundreds of Avocado varieties? Commercial agriculture has developed markets around just a few of them. As a boutique fruit packer, we get to work with some of the lesser known (but just as tasty!) varieties. Our Certified Organic Ettinger Avocado is one of the best tasting avocados we’ve had. Its large size and shiny green skin makes it a stand out on any kitchen counter. The flesh is creamy with a rich flavor, not quite as heavy in oil as a Hass avocado.
Store your avocados in a cool dry place in your kitchen until ripe. You will know the fruit is ripe when you can press on the skin and it gives a bit to the pressure. You want to feel the fruit be soft on all sides. Ettingers can ripen in stages with the top part of the fruit typically softening first. Also a unique quality of Ettinger Avocados is the loosen from the flesh so you may hear it rattling inside the fruit before you cut it. This is normal and has no bearing on the flavor. Once the fruit is soft to pressure, they're ready to eat or you can store them in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Our Ettinger Avocados are grown in our hometown of Fallbrook and take on all the best flavor characteristics of this unique variety.
