Expert growers have been lovingly cultivating the Indian mango for millenia, resulting in an incredible number of different varieties. While many of these varieties bring something unique to their native regions, none is more celebrated than the Alphonso. You can recognise it by its vibrant colour, reminiscent of marigolds and saffron, and you\'ll love it for its rich creaminess, complex sweetness and tender, juicy texture. Grown around Ratnagiri, Maharashtra, Alphonso mangos enjoy a brief season from April until June— that\'s because they weren\'t selected for their high yield or ability to withstand harsh weather, but purely for their distinctive, unbeatable taste. Known as hapoos, hafoos, hapuz, aapoos and \'the king of fruits\' in India A rare and celebrated delicacy, expertly grown & cultivated Unbeatably tender, juicy, flavourful & fragrant \'\'Imagine a cross between peach, nectarine, apricot and melon with notes of honey and citrus.
