The ‘Alphonso’ mango, also called Hafoos, Hapuz, or Aapoos, is a named mango cultivar that originated in India. Favored for its sweetness, richness and flavor, the Alphonso has been called the king of mangoes. The Alphonso is also one of the most expensive varieties of mango, and is grown mainly in western India.

The Alphonso is a seasonal fruit, available mid-April through the end of June. The fruits generally weigh between 150 and 300 grams They have a rich, creamy, tender texture and delicate, non-fibrous, juicy pulp. The skin of a fully ripe Alphonso mango turns bright golden-yellow with a tinge of red which spreads across the top of the fruit. The flesh of the fruit is saffron-colored. These characteristics make Alphonso a favored cultivar.

Alphonso is named after Afonso de Albuquerque, a nobleman and military expert who helped establish the Portuguese colony in India. It was the Portuguese who introduced grafting on mango trees to produce extraordinary varieties like Alphonso. The fruit was then introduced to the Konkan region in Maharashtra, Gujarat and parts of south India.

GRADES

Dear Mango Lovers

We follows the grading system. Different grades of our Mango Please note that we are not selling mangoes based on weight. The weights for reference only for grade. Our Mango grades  on the basis of weight! Yes, only on weight. There is no difference in the quality, taste, colour, etc of our Alphonso Mango across the grades. but size is subjective and it is impossible to have a standardisation on the base of size.

The weight of the Mangoes reduces during the ripening process and also the delivery period due to the moisture loss.

This helps us provide even sized Mangoes in one box. Because of this, we have multiple varieties in packing. A box can contain  12 24, 48, 60, 72, 84, 96 Mangoes based on size.

All of our Mangoes do not ripe on the same day, so that people can enjoy one box for longer time.
