Direct Connect’s avocados boast a unique harvest schedule, occurring two weeks later than usual to ensure a nuttier taste and increased dry mass. Growers rely on distinctive cues like shape and color to identify optimal harvesting times.
Due to varying ripening rates, growers meticulously inspect trees multiple times for manual fruit selection. Upon picking, avocados undergo immediate cooling to 12˚C at the packing station, followed by rinsing, quality and size sorting, and packaging in preparation for shipment to our valued customers.
Following harvesting, washing, and sorting at the packing centers, the avocado-laden pallets are primed for transportation to their designated destinations. Ahead of transit, the temperature is further reduced to 5˚C, ensuring optimal preservation.
Shipments are facilitated by containers equipped with continuous temperature control. Remarkably, avocados remain at a stable ripeness level throughout their three-week journey, maintaining their quality and freshness.
The lineage of the Hass avocado from Colombia traces back to a country steeped in history, where indigenous communities have flourished on fertile lands since 15,000 BC. Rich in music, dance, and a culinary heritage that tantalizes the taste buds, Colombia’s culture weaves a tapestry of sensory delights.
