Our avocados are freshly picked from the tree and the avocado begins to ripen from the moment they are picked, so most of the avocados should be consumed between 7 and 10 days after they are picked. Therefore, they should remain ripening at home until they are at their optimum point to be consumed. Their optimum point is when one of their sides darkens and they begin to be soft. To speed up the process you can:
- Remove the stem so that they ripen faster.
- Do not keep them in the refrigerator or in cool places
- Wrap them (without letting air in) in kraft paper or newspaper to speed up their ripening and to make them ripen faster, wrap them with an apple. This serves to trap the ethylene gas given off by the fruit itself and makes it ripen.

The process of harvesting the avocados is completely artisanal, they are picked directly from the tree and their optimal point of consumption is between 7 and 10 days after being harvested. How to ripen an avocado at home? One of the easiest ways is to wrap them in newspaper and leave them in a ventilated place where they are not directly exposed to light.
At Naranjas Tradicionales we work with Hass Avocados, a variety with a great flavor and very easy to identify when it is at its perfect point of ripeness. The Spanish Hass avocados from Naranjas Tradicionales come from fruit fields in the Valencian Community, just like our Valencia Oranges.
