DALLAS, April 29, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Avocados From Mexico are always good and bring the good times to every occasion. In celebration of Cinco de Mayo, Avocados From Mexico^®, the number one selling avocado brand in the U.S., and Paciugo Gelato Caffe, the largest artisanal gelato chain in the U.S., are teaming up to launch a "Paciugo de Mayo" celebration offering a fresh take on gelato, starring perfectly ripe Avocados From Mexico.

Introducing: Avo Glow Gelachos. These are "nacho" average nacho. The new menu item includes creamy avocado gelato, infused with an avocado citrus glaze and made with all natural ingredients including fresh, flavorful Avocados From Mexico. The gelato is inspired by the Avocados From Mexico brand color, Avocado Glow that emulates the vibrant tones you see when you cut into a perfectly ripe avocado. The gelato is served with chocolate dipping sauce and waffle cone chips.

The limited-edition treat will be available in Paciugo stores nationwide May 1 through May 31, 2024. And that's not all: On Cinco de Mayo, they are offering a special Happy Hour deal: One free scoop of Avo Glow gelato at 5 p.m.*

"As one of the biggest avocado and guacamole consumption occasions in the U.S.¹, Cinco de Mayo is one of the biggest moments of the year for Avocados From Mexico," said Avocados From Mexico President and CEO, Alvaro Luque. "We're always thinking of new and innovative ways to engage consumers as they plan their Cinco celebrations — including these Avo Glow Gelachos, which feature our brand color and share all the delicious flavor that fresh avocados offer in a fun and unexpected way."

This fruitful partnership marks a delicious milestone as the first time Avocados From Mexico has collaborated with a brand to make an avocado gelato or ice cream offering. The new dessert shows off how versatile fresh avocados are, pairing just as well with savory flavors as they do with sweet flavors.

"Paciugo is known for the quality of the artisanal gelato we serve. Our consumers expect us to deliver fresh ingredients and great flavors, which makes Avocados From Mexico the perfect partner," said Sinelli Concepts International Founder and Paciugo Gelato Caffe Owner Jeff Sinelli.
