We’ve literally just picked, packed and sent another load of Delcados.
Head to ALDI (VIC, WA), Coles (VIC, WA), Harris Farm Markets (NSW, QLD), Woolworths (TAS), Bunbury Farmers Market (WA), Toscano’s (Vic), Signorelli’s (Vic), and any good greengrocer. If your local store doesn’t have them yet, ask the produce manager to order them in. We’ll be happy to oblige.

WE’RE BACK EARLY SO YOU CAN GET SLICING AND SMASHING SOONER
Good news folks, harvest has begun for our biggest season yet so you can get slicing and smashing sooner!
Seems early right? Yep. Thanks to the ideal conditions this year with an early start to Spring after a very cold winter and lots of rain, sun, and plenty of hard work, we expect to handpick over 50 million Delcados! That’s 23 million more than last year.
Combine that with a bumper season and you’ve got our longest season yet, with supply running from September well into March, a month longer than usual so you can enjoy these beauties all through Summer.
This year you can expect to see some deliciously fresh recipes from our mates and Aussie culinary legends Mark Best, Tom Walton and Lucy Tweed. Keep an eye out for their creations here.

Here’s where you’ll find us - FEB update.
A quick update from the orchard as our season draws to an end. To help you get your Delcado fix for the next 2-3 weeks, here’s a list of stores we’re you’ll find us.
Tastes like a regular avo? Not even close.
Delcados are left on the tree for up to 16 months, almost twice as long as other avocados. The slow-growing process allows the natural oils to truly mature and develop that unique Delcado flavour. We reckon nothing tastes like them. But don’t take our word for it.
Applying the principals used by sommeliers for tasting wine, our mate, legendary Australian chef Mark Best has created a bespoke Delcado flavour wheel, something to help you pinpoint that distinct Delcado taste. Want a go? Thought you would.
we’ve got the need for speed
“Nothing in Australia tastes as fresh as a Delcado, so the quicker from orchard to store, the fresher and tastier they'll be, Gary.”
WE’RE BACK. BETTER LATE THAN NEVER.
We can’t believe it’s been 6 months since we picked our last Delcados. We’re pretty chuffed to report that our new season harvest is on their way to a store near you this weekend. We've literally just picked and packed them, so they'll be as fresh as you can get 'em!
