Characteristics of avocados

Avocados are an exceptionally complete and healthy food. Their combination of good fats, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants makes them a perfect ally for a balanced diet and overall well-being. Incorporating them into your daily diet is a simple and delicious way to improve your health and enjoy a balanced diet.

A complete and balanced food

Avocados stand out for their unique combination of healthy fats, vitamins, minerals y fibre, making it a highly nutritious food. Its composition sets it apart from most fruits, providing high-quality energy and a wide variety of essential micronutrients.

Heart-healthy fats

The main type of fat present in avocados is oleic acid, a monounsaturated fat known for:

  • Helps reduce LDL (“bad”) cholesterol.
  • Raise HDL (“good”) cholesterol.
  • Promote healthy heart and circulatory system function.

These fats are similar to those found in olive oil, one of the pillars of the Mediterranean diet, and their consumption is associated with better cardiovascular health.

Rich in fibre for balanced digestion

Each avocado contains a large amount of soluble and insoluble fibre, essential for:

  • Improve gut health.
  • Stabilise blood sugar levels.
  • Provide satiety for longer.

Fibre is a key component of a healthy diet, and avocados provide it in a natural and delicious way.

Essential vitamins for your wellbeing

Avocados provide a wide variety of vitamins necessary for the proper functioning of the body:

  • Vitamin E: A powerful antioxidant that protects cells and improves skin.
  • Vitamin C: important for the immune system and tissue regeneration.
  • B vitamins (B5, B6 and folates): They aid energy metabolism and balance the nervous system.
  • Vitamin K: supports bone health and blood clotting.

These vitamins work together to provide energy, promote healthy skin, and strengthen the body's natural defences.

Minerals that balance your body

Avocados are particularly rich in potassium, a mineral essential for:

  • Regulate blood pressure.
  • Promote muscle function.
  • Maintain cellular hydration.

It also provides magnesium, copper, and other minerals that help maintain the body's overall balance.

Antioxidants and benefits for eyesight and skin

Avocados contain natural antioxidants such as lutein y zeaxanthin, which protect your eyesight and filter out harmful blue light.
In addition, its healthy fats and vitamin E promote healthier skin:

  • Hydrated
  • Elastic
  • Regenerated

Regular consumption helps maintain a healthy appearance from within.

Ideal for all types of diets

Thanks to their nutritional profile, avocados are perfect for:

  • Healthy and balanced diets
  • Athletes
  • Vegetarian or vegan diets
  • People seeking to control their weight
  • Child nutrition
  • Low-carbohydrate diets

Season and Availability of Our Avocados

On our farm, we only sell fresh avocados, grown using traditional techniques and harvested to order. We do not use cold storage, artificial ripening, or store the fruit for weeks.
This means that our varieties strictly follow the natural rhythm of the mountains, ensuring a more authentic flavour and superior quality.

Here's why our avocados are not available all year round:

Why are avocados not available all year round?

  1. Each variety has its own season.

Avocados do not ripen all at once. Each variety has a different cycle:

  • Bacon: September – December
  • Strong: October – January
  • Hass: December – May
  • Lamb Hass: April – June

Once the natural window for each variety has closed, it is no longer possible to obtain quality fruit.

  1. Avocados only ripen after they have been harvested.

Unlike other fruits, avocados do not ripen on the tree, but they cannot remain on the tree indefinitely either.
Each variety has an optimal period. If this period is missed, it loses flavour, oils and texture, so it cannot be harvested out of season.

  1. We do not use cameras or industrial processes.

To maintain quality intact:

  • We do not pick green avocados before they are ripe.
  • We do not refrigerate them for weeks.
  • We do not ripen them artificially.

We simply harvest when the tree and the fruit are ready.

  1. The saw sets the pace

The climate in Canillas de Aceituno, which is cooler and higher than the coast, means that ripening is:

  • slower,
  • more natural,
  • with more flavour,
  • but also more seasonal.

Here, the mountains rule, not industry.

  1. Respecting the natural cycle guarantees quality.

We cultivate using traditional techniques, employing only organic products and no pesticides.
This protects the soil, cares for the trees, and ensures that each harvest has:

  • better flavour,
  • better texture,
  • and greater nutritional value.

To achieve this, the tree's rest periods must be respected.

Temporality is a guarantee

The fact that our avocados are not available all year round means that:

 They are authentic,
 They are local,
 They are environmentally friendly,
 They are truly fresh,

 And they arrive at your home straight from the tree, without going through cold storage or intermediaries.

That's why every season is special: because you can only enjoy it when nature allows it.

Ripeness and tips for eating avocados

Our avocados are harvested only upon request, manually and at their optimum fat content. This means that they have never been through artificial maturing chambers: they arrive at your home fresh, firm and ready to finish their natural process in a few days.

How will my avocados arrive?

  • Firm to the touch, freshly cut from the tree.
  • Selected one by one to ensure quality and discard damaged pieces.
  • Ready to mature at home in 5 to 10 days, depending on the season.

This shipping method guarantees a product tastier, creamier and longer lasting.

How can ripening be accelerated or slowed down?

To speed up ripening:
  • Place the avocados next to apples or bananas.
  • Leave them in a paper bag at room temperature.
To slow down ripening:
  • When they are perfectly cooked, place them in the fridge.
    This will keep the texture for 3–5 days longer.

How to tell if an avocado is ripe

  • It yields slightly when pressed with your hand.
  • In the Hass variety, the skin is dark in colour, rather than the green colour it has when you receive them.
  • The upper stalk comes off easily.

Tips for consumption and storage

  • If you only use half a piece, leave the bone in the part you keep to slow down oxidation.
  • Avoid exposing it to direct sunlight or heat sources.
  • Store it in a container or wrapped in cling film, pressing down on the surface to remove any air.

Commitment to quality

By shipping the avocado without artificially ripening it, we guarantee a product fresher, safer and tastier, with all the quality of fruit picked at its peak. If any item arrives in poor condition, we will replace it without any problem.
