Avocado Shepards - (Each)

Fresh Fuerte Avocados are a classic avocado variety recognised for their smooth, bright green skin, pear-like shape and creamy pale green flesh. Unlike Hass avocados, the skin of a Fuerte avocado generally remains green as it ripens.

With a smooth, buttery texture and mild nutty flavour, Fuerte avocados are a versatile fresh fruit suitable for breakfast, salads, sandwiches, dips and gourmet dishes.
