Avocado Mantequilla is a variety of avocado known for its rich, creamy texture and buttery flavor, hence the name “Mantequilla,” which means “butter” in Spanish. This variety is highly valued for its smooth, easily spreadable flesh, making it a popular choice for culinary uses such as spreads, salads, and guacamole.

The Avocado Mantequilla tree is an evergreen that thrives in tropical and subtropical climates. It has a broad, spreading canopy with glossy, dark green leaves and produces small, greenish-yellow flowers that develop into the pear-shaped fruit. The skin of the Mantequilla avocado is typically green, and the flesh is a pale yellow, with a rich, buttery consistency. The tree is often grown in home gardens and orchards for its high-quality fruit.
