Alphonso Mangoes

Enjoy a bounty prized by chefs and smugglers. For years, the golden, silky-smooth flesh of India’s Alphonso Mango was forbidden fruit, blocked by law from importation. Enjoying "The King of Mangoes" in the U.S. almost impossible, even after the ban lifted. The few Alphonsos that make it are quickly gobbled up by chefs and die-hard fans stalking the Internet each season.

The Alphonso Mango is a rare food miracle. Nowhere outside of India successfully produces its uniquely rich sweetness, intense flavor, and string-free, creamy texture. Prime Alphonso season is stunningly short. They’re harvested at 60% ripeness, unlike common mangoes which are picked green. Don’t ask how, but we've secured a small batch of Alphonso Mangoes, ripe for the picking! It'll be our little secret.
