Fallbrook, Calif.-based Del Rey Avocado will have good late-season volume of California avocados from its Morro Bay program, which has been part of Del Rey’s program for about eight years, said Bob Lucy, president.
The fruit, available in September and October, is solely grown in California’s San Luis Obispo County, the northernmost growing region in California.
“Hass avocados are a wonderful product, but I’m telling you the finest avocados that I have ever had are out of San Luis Obispo County in Morro Bay,” Lucy said. “It’s just a wonderful growing area.”
Del Rey Avocado also has a very strong position with organic fruit, Lucy said. In addition, the company offers preconditioned fruit and also the option to treat fruit for domestic retailers or exporters with Apeel.
