Farms

The first step in our process is growing our avocados, from tending the land to harvesting our crops, it’s a tedious process we’ve learned to master.

By preparing the soil through tillage, farmers can promote healthy plant growth, improve crop yields, and maintain the long-term fertility and productivity of their fields. Because we only use natural and industry grade approved materials and insecticides to protect our fields, it also helps us to control pests and diseases and can help kill off harmful organisms.

It all starts by planting avocado seeds and nurturing them with pure water and warm sun for up to eight years. As they grow, we constantly nurture them by hand and take care of them with only the good all-natural stuff. This special treatment gives the avocados' deep rich notes and makes for an extra creamy, buttery, flavorful final product.

Our geographic location has the perfect altitude and ideal weather conditions for Hass Avocados to thrive. Every year we hand-pick over 91,000 trees planted in 300 hectares in between all of our farms. Due to our strategic growth plan and high production volumes we are able to harvest avocados all year long, making us the most dependable supplier.

Our avocados then go through a classifying machine that specializes in grading the fruit after harvesting. The purpose of this process is to sort, grade, and classify our crops in order to meet international quality standards for export or domestic sale.

Processing Plant

We only use state of the art technology and processes to ensure optimal quality and class to guarantee we exceed the highest possible standards the industry sets.

Our avocado’s arrive in our processing plant, we begin the rigorous process of heavily cleaning, sanitizing, and preparing the fruit to make our product safe and ready to use. They are then selected and separated depending on the nature of the avocado derived product they will be used for.

The ripening process involves using specific technology formulas that contain ethylene to accelerate the maturation process. All of our avocados go through our state of the art ripening chambers to achieve a homogeneous ripening. We offer a full range of solutions that meet your needs and desired state of maturation.

We offer different packaging solutions of our guacamole to tailor-fit our customers needs. It then passes through the HPP, which extends it’s shelf life between 6 to 8 weeks without altering any of its organoleptic characteristics and enhancing food safety.

The production process for our Guacamole begins by cutting the avocado and extracting the seed, we then mix all of our natural ingredients to prepare our premium guacamole and it’s flavor varieties.

A production facility that produces smashed avocado mashes or purees ripe avocados, then flash-freezes the mixture. The result is a ready-to-use, spreadable consistency that can be used in various dishes. The benefits include convenience, consistent texture and flavor, and the preservation of nutritional value.

We produce avocado halves by carefully selecting ripe avocados, which are then washed, peeled, and cut in half with the pit removed. These halves are flash-frozen to maintain their freshness, texture, and nutritional value, offering a convenient and ready-to-use solution for a variety of dishes.
