About Wholly
Wholly makes refrigerated guacamole preserved by high-pressure processing rather than heat, which keeps the colour and flavour without cooking the avocado. Hormel acquired parent MegaMex interests and took full control of the brand in 2021. High-pressure processing kills bacteria by force rather than temperature, which is why the avocado does not brown or cook.
