Hawaii hands down has better Avocado cultivars than California.
A tasting at a neutral site like Oregon, Vancouver or New York where all the boutique cultivars from CA & Hawaii could be sampled side by side by top chefs and Avocado farmers would be something the world is ready for.
I’m a life long CA resident and my favorite CA Avocado’s are Jan Boyce, Reed, and Gillogoly.
I think Sharwil, Ota and a couple other lesser known Kona Avocado’s are better, tastier, better texture. I can eat them by themselves sliced which I do not enjoy so much with CA avocado.
Trying to find good named Avocado’s in Hawaii can be a needle in a haystack aka grower direct so unfortunately the store bought experience is not up to par with buying CA Hass in season in a store in CA.
Brad’s CA grown Sharwil is an exceptional fruit , I’m excited to see how his other Hawaiian cultivar’s do in SD county.
