Colombia has become a significant producer of Hass avocados, supplying both local markets and exporting to North America and Europe.

Anona Muricata Soursop / Guanabana

The Avocado “Forte” variety grown in Colombia is specially cultivated for its high-quality, creamy texture, and nutty flavor. Known for thriving in Colombia’s unique climate and rich soils, this avocado is typically larger and has a thick, pebbly green skin that darkens to a purplish-black as it ripens.
Nutritional Profile
The Avocado Forte is high in monounsaturated fats, vitamins (C, K, E), and minerals such as potassium and magnesium, beneficial for heart health, skin health, and muscle function. Its fiber content is also significant, making it a healthy choice for maintaining digestive health.
Ripening Process
Ripening Avocado Forte correctly is crucial for achieving its characteristic flavor and texture.
  • At Room Temperature: Place the avocado at room temperature for 3 to 5 days. To speed up ripening, place it in a paper bag with bananas or apples, which release ethylene gas and accelerate the process.

  • Signs of Ripeness: The avocado is ripe when it yields to gentle pressure and its skin turns from green to a deeper, almost black hue. Once ripe, it can be stored in the refrigerator for 2–3 days to prevent overripening.

 

Key Characteristics of Avocado Forte
Texture and Flavor: Creamy and rich, with a slightly nutty taste, perfect for guacamole, toast, or adding to salads.

Size: Slightly larger than standard Hass, making it a popular choice for both culinary and commercial use.

Ripening: The Avocado Forte ripens well at room temperature, and, like other Hass varieties, it’s ready when the skin becomes darker and softens slightly.
