We are just starting to see organic California Hass avocados on the scene in mid-April due to a cold and rainy winter. The season historically has started as early as January/February in San Diego and works its way north as each area of California finishes their harvest and another area begins.  The beginning of the year is when the California Hass Avocado must pass the minimum allowed level of oil content before being picked. Understanding the geography of where your Hass avocado is grown will help you choose the best flavor.
