Dole Avocado

Dole is one of the world's largest producers and marketers of high-quality fresh fruit and fresh vegetables. This specific product, a Hass avocado, was grown in Colombia, as indicated on the packaging, which is a major global exporter for this variety due to its favorable climate. The product shown is distributed through Dole Italia S.p.A., based in Milan, which manages the packaging and logistics for the Italian market.

The Dole brand has a long history, dating back to 1851 in Hawaii with the founding of Castle & Cooke, and later becoming famous under James Dole's Hawaiian Pineapple Company. Today, the brand is owned by Dole plc, a company formed through the 2021 merger between Total Produce plc and Dole Food Company. The global headquarters are located in Dublin, Ireland, making it a prominent international player in the fresh produce industry.
