Gurudatta (Devgad Alphonso) Mango - Organically Grown - 1 Dozen (12 PC)
Fruits
These mangoes are specifically known for their sweetness, color and aroma. They're specially cultivated in limited quantity which is not available easily.
History of Devgad Alphonso : Devgad is majorly hard laterite rock, In the early 90’s, mango growers from this region brought grafts from Ratnagiri for experimentation. These were planted in cracks on the laterite rock and surprisingly survived and thrived. The fruit tasted very different from mangoes of the Ratnagiri region. This was attributed to the typical weather conditions and soil characteristics in the geographical region of Devgad.
Between 1920 and 1930 Devgad Mango Growers engaged in marketing efforts, by sending their Alphonso mangoes via passenger boats to Mumbai. Mumbaikars recognized the unique taste of Devgad, along with its sweet taste, thick pulp, and extremely pleasant fruity flavor, and the fruit became popular. Devgadh Hapus got its own GI tag in 2020.
