Rooted in a legacy of avocado excellence that began more than a century ago with parent company Calavo Growers Inc., AvoFresco is a leader in ready-to eat guacamole and avocado innovation.
The project allows the company to extend its operations on the East Coast, continuing to provide high-quality custom-ripened avocados to restaurants, food distributors and grocery stores.
The latest brand innovation delivers on consumer taste preferences by bridging the gap between tableside guacamole and the same craveable guacamole at home.
The brand's distribution in Walmart will increase from 200 to 1,050 stores across the country, offering the brand’s top selling Guacamole Mild and Guacamole Spicy to a larger customer base.
The design-build firm has been recognized with a 2022 Best Project Award from the Design-Build Institute of America’s Southeast Region for what is now North America’s largest avocado plant.
Mission Produce has opened a 262,000-square-foot avocado ripening and processing facility in Laredo, Texas, the largest in North America. The plant also includes cold storage and packaging space. The building is located in Laredo’s Pinnacle Industry Center on 32.6 acres adjacent to the Rio Grande River and the Mexican Border. The new facility will allow Mission to capitalize on the continued popularity of its signature product in the nation’s busiest land port.
Del Monte Fresh Produce, one of North America’s leading marketers and distributors of high-quality fresh and fresh-cut fruit and vegetables, announced the relaunch of its Homestyle Guacamole in four new flavors, combining Fresh Del Monte’s high-quality ingredients with the fresh taste and texture of a homemade guacamole without the hassle.
