Fuerte.
While the Hass avocado may take most of the spotlight in the avocado world, the Fuerte variety is a star in its own right. Named "Fuerte," which translates to "strong" in Spanish, this hybrid between the Mexican and Guatemalan avocado species has a unique set of characteristics that make it a noteworthy contender for those looking to diversify their avocado intake.
The most outstanding characteristic of the Fuerte avocado is arguably its well-balanced flavor profile that strikes a perfect blend of nuttiness and sweetness, setting it apart from other avocado varieties. Unlike the heavier, creamier Hass avocado, the Fuerte has a slightly more complex, nuanced taste that many avocado aficionados appreciate.
Fuerte avocados are medium to large in size, typically ranging from 6 to 12 ounces. They have a pear-like shape but are more elongated and less rounded compared to the Hass variety. One of the defining features of the Fuerte is its smooth, medium-thick skin, which is easy to peel but not as rugged as the Hass.
