Fresh Avocado You Can Count On

Beginning this month Kiwis will be able to find fresh processed avocado in the chilled ̶ as well as the produce ̶ sections of their local supermarket. The Perfect Fruit Company, which is launching a range of New Zealand avocado-based products, including Vocado Avocado Pulp, Vocado Guacamole and Vocado Avocado Smoothies, hopes to make fresh avocado easier to buy, use and store.

“Avocados are one of nature’s perfect foods,” says Director Collin Elder. “But it’s not always easy to find absolutely ripe, great tasting ones when you need them. New packaging technology means our products are 100% natural and retain the delicious taste and nutrients of fresh avocados.”

Unlike packaging from Mother Nature, The Perfect Fruit Company’s transparent pouches allow consumers to see inside the avocado itself and be assured that the pulp is ripe and ready-to-use. The pouches are re-sealable so that a portion of it may be used up to seven days later (based on proper air expression and re-seal).

“Kiwis are increasingly seeking convenient, ready-to-eat foods. We want to make sure they are tasty and healthy as well.”

The new Vocado avocado range includes:

Avocado Pulp (RRP price $3.99 for 200g)
Avocado Guacamole (RRP $3.99 for 200g)
Avocado and Manuka Honey Smoothie (RRP $3.99 for 250g)
Avocado, Orange and Honey Smoothie (RRP $3.99 for 250g)

Select New World and Pak’n Save supermarkets have begun carrying Vocado Avocado products. Visit www.vocado.co.nz for more information on where they are sold and how you can request them if your local supermarket doesn’t yet carry them.
