Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Avocado Mix Box Review (December Lara Farms)
« on: February 04, 2025, 12:46:48 PM »No, I haven't tasted Oro Negro. I know that it is held in very high esteem among late season avocados.It's been a while since I've eaten an Oro Negro, but I want to say it's along the same lines as Ronnie. Carlos, the avocado grower in Homestead (www.myavocadotrees.com), was not very fond of Oro Negro, considered it overpowering.
Last night I had some Ronnie avocado in my salad. It was delicious but the avocado demands attention. The Ronnie flavor dominated every bite and the rich oily texture coated the other items in the salad. While I enjoyed it, I'm not sure if the intensity would get old, or how much a general avocado consumer would enjoy it.
Most people growing avocados are probably feeding a family with them, and I see the clean/classic taste options as the most crowd-pleasing fruit for kids and grandmas.
