The Zutano has less fat and a higher water content than the avocados you are used to which gives it a very mild taste. Although not as nutty as some avocados such as the popular Haas. Zutano has a wonderful almost citrusy flavor. The green fruits have a pear shape with waxy bumps on the skin and can be used for everything from salad to guacamole to plain with salt. This might become your new favorite avocado!
On Wednesday, November 6, 2024 the Mountain Fire caused significant damage to our orchard and burned our home to the ground. Since then we have been busy rehabilitating the orchard trees and infrastructure.
We just passed six months since the fire date and we are happy to share that the irrigation system has been rebuilt, damaged trees have been rehabilitated, and all destroyed trees have been replaced with new young trees.
Although not all items will initially be available, we plan to reopen online sales effective June 1, 2025.
Your business means everything to us.
