Alphonso
👑 King of Mangoes
The crown jewel of Indian mangoes — deep saffron flesh with an intoxicating aroma.
The Story
Alphonso, or Hapus, is celebrated worldwide as the finest mango variety. Grown in the volcanic laterite soil of Ratnagiri and Devgad in Maharashtra, each fruit carries an unmistakable saffron colour, silky-smooth flesh with absolutely no fibre, and a fragrance that fills an entire room. It is the variety that defines what a mango truly should taste like.
