An Australian avocado is the fruit grown from various avocado varieties across the country's diverse climates. The industry is large and sophisticated, ensuring a year-round supply, and it's built around two main varieties that dominate the market.

Australia's wide range of climates allows for avocado production all year round.

• Year-Round Supply: The season typically starts with the Shepard variety in Queensland, followed by the Hass variety. Peak supply generally runs from March through to November.

• Classic Dishes: They are a staple in Australian cuisine, most famously mashed on sourdough toast or as the main ingredient in guacamole.

• Other Uses: They can be sliced into salads and sandwiches, blended into smoothies, or used as a creamy element in sauces and even desserts.

• Flavor Profile: The flavor is generally mild and nutty. Hass offers a richer, buttery taste, while Shepard is milder and sweeter.
