Walnuts (Nueces)
Chile’s avocados are more than just a fruit; they are a symbol of quality, sustainability, and exceptional taste. Grown in the nutrient-rich valleys of central Chile, varieties like Hass thrive in the region’s well-balanced climate, developing their signature creamy texture and rich flavor. Chilean farmers use advanced irrigation techniques to optimize water use, ensuring a responsible and efficient harvest. As a key global supplier, Chile provides avocados when demand is highest in markets across North America, Europe, and Asia, offering a year-round supply of this nutrient-dense superfood.
