I checked out the site too and was reminded that the group of
California Avocado growers has an enormous amount of money and an
equal amount of political clout that has managed for decades to keep
our own Kona avocadoes from even landing in California.

When I tried to look up Sharwil's on their site, it isn't even
mentioned and here in Hawaii it is the premium avocado, so their site
is not really about avocadoes as much as themselves. Haas are small
and dark little avocadoes.

It is a political machine. The crummy recipe cited above illustrates
that their focus is on making their avos the best and little else.
