Natural avozilla proves a hit

Found growing in the natural forest of Limpopo in South Africa, the world’s largest avocado, the Avozilla, has proved a consumer hit.

It will be even more famous after this week, when it represents Tesco in the Innovation of the Year category at the FPC Fresh Awards organised by the UK’s fresh produce trade association.

It is produced by Westfalia, the largest avocado grower in Southern Africa, which has 15 scientists and technicians who focus on fruit varietal development, innovation and environmental matters.
