Orteat’s Organic Hass Avocados
Our avocados, grown in Calabria, have a delicate and creamy taste.
The avocado is a tasty fruit which feels perfect when eaten with a salad or on warm bread!
It is rich in plant-based proteins and omega-3 fatty acids and it can be found in several varieties; the most famous ones are the Hass Avocado and the Bacon Avocado.
Avocados are not only fragrant and suitable for many tasty recipes, but are also rich in “harmless” fats and have plenty of nutritional properties.
Our avocados are grown in Calabria, where they follow the principles and methods of organic agriculture, by respecting the environment, the laws of nature and biodiversity too. In this area of Calabria – in Locri, just a few hundred meters from the Ionian coastal seaside – a proper “avocado grove” has been created in an environment that looks like a small natural world entirely dedicated to this splendid fruit. Indeed, thanks to the unique local microclimate of the area, the fruits have excellent organoleptic qualities.

The unprocessed Italian Organic Avocados that you can buy online at Orteat, have followed organic farming practices, where the use of synthetic chemicals is not allowed.
The harvest of Hass Avocados cultivated in the Mediterranean Basin takes place between December and April, while for Bacon Avocados the harvest starts almost a month earlier.
