 This exquisite and expensive variety of mango was named after Afonso De Albuquerque, a Portugese nobleman who used to bring them on his journeys to Goa. The locals took to calling it Aphoos in Konkani and in Maharashtra the pronunciation got further distorted to Hapoos. This variety was then taken to the Konkan region of Maharashtra and other parts of India.
This delicious and juicy mango with its exotic flavor and fragrance has long been one of the world's most popular fruits. India grows the finest mangoes in the world and although more than a thousand varieties exist, the Alphonso is the best. The luscious fruit is loved for its wonderful color, wholesome fragrance and irresistible taste. Our mango orchards are located on virgin land in the heart of South India, known to produce the finest quality of Alphonso mangoes. Our mangoes are grown in the most natural way, without the use of chemicals or artificial ripening. Mango requires soil with good internal drainage and must have low tolerance for salts, boron and herbicides. We practice the age-old Indian method of natural farming that prescribes the use of natural fertilizers, organic manure and is now being recognized the world over. |
