Sorry to post twice in a row, but I didn't catch this the first time around.
It's not a brand name. It's a varietal. It is based on breeding and can make anywhere from a mild to a HUGE difference in flavor. Different varieties can even have different seasons in which they ripen and make their way to the shelves. In most supermarkets (especially anywhere this produce is not grown) you're not going to find much choice or variation in varieties. Hass is the most common to make it to America's shelves according to the Hass Avocado website (lame!)
