What makes SanLucar Mangos so special?

Exceptional care when growing and harvesting

We select only fibre-free varieties that have a high juice content and are particularly sweet.
SanLucar Mangos are harvested only when the fruits are truly ripe. So we pick from the tree several times carefully with a pair of scissors, since not all the fruits of the tree ripen at the same time.
When harvesting, we ensure that the fruits are picked with their stems. This prevents the sticky mango juice from escaping.
A special quality feature of the SanLucar Mango is the dew-like film of the fruits. This indicates that the fruit has hardly been touched and treated after picking.

Availability and origin of SanLucar Mangos

SanLucar Mangos are grown from August to November in the southern part of Malaga, Spain. The growing area is dominated by a special microclimate where the fruits ripen under the best temperature and air conditions. We then harvest the fruits in Brazil and Peru.
Due to high demand, we would like to offer these special mangos for 12 months a year. Therefore, we are currently planning new projects in Central and South America.

How do you know they have reached perfect ripeness?

Mangos are climacteric fruits and ripen after harvest. If they rebound when applying a little pressure and have soft, very juicy and very sweet flesh, they are ripe.
Mangos are tropical fruits and should therefore not be stored in the refrigerator but at room temperature.

Interesting fact about mangos

Mangos originally come from India, where they have been cultivated for over 6000 years. For a long time, the fruit was only known in Asia until it spread to Brazil in the 18th century and later in Europe.
A mango has many valuable ingredients: carotene, vitamins, minerals, trace elements and enzymes. Therefore, the fruit provides, among other things, for more energy, good digestion, prevents stress and circulatory weakness, as well as premature skin aging.
The mango is quite versatile in cooking. It tastes as delicious raw as it does processed: as a sauce for ice cream and cake varieties or as an accompaniment to meat dishes.
