Sharwil.
The Sharwil avocado, primarily grown in regions like Hawaii and Australia, has garnered attention as a gourmet variety appreciated for its exceptional flavor and texture. It may not be as widely recognized as the Hass or Fuerte, but the Sharwil holds its own with a unique set of benefits that make it worth considering.
According to some aficionados, the Sharwil avocado surpasses even the Hass variety in terms of flavor, earning it the title of the world's best-tasting avocado. Its flesh is incredibly oily and offers a rich, creamy taste devoid of any bitterness or bacon-like undertones. While it may lack the nuttiness commonly associated with Hass avocados, the Sharwil impresses with a mild yet deeply satisfying flavor and leaves a lasting creamy aftertaste that outshines the Hass.
Sharwil avocados are medium to large in size, generally ranging from 8 to 20 ounces. They have a pear-like, slightly elongated shape with a skin that is somewhere between the smoothness of Fuerte and the pebbly texture of Hass. The skin is medium-thick and peels away easily to reveal a flesh that has been described as "buttery" with a nutty and rich flavor, making it a favorite among chefs and food enthusiasts.
