🥭 Harvested at physiological maturity by our partner Iulian, based on the Spanish Costa Tropical.
To withstand transport, the fruit is delivered still firm and will be ready to eat a few days after receipt.
We have tested different mango varieties and they are all so delicious that we decided to offer them to you together in a single box. Irwin, Osteen and Kent: three varieties, three textures, three moments in the Spanish season - enough to compare and settle on your own favourite.
How do you know when a mango is ready?
Whatever you do, do not go by colour, whichever the variety - it is the classic mistake, including with the Kent, whose red-purple patches appear well before the fruit is ripe, or the Osteen, whose blush also comes early. The only truly reliable indicator is touch: press gently near the stalk, the flesh should give slightly under your thumb, without being soft. The scent also tells you - a ripe mango fills the room with its fragrance.
In concrete terms: leave your mangoes at room temperature, in the open air, without piling them up and out of the sun. To speed things up, the old trick of a paper bag with an apple or a banana still works very well. As your box mixes several varieties - and each fruit ripens at its own pace - check it regularly and move each mango to the fridge as soon as it is ready, rather than waiting for the whole box to be ready at the same time.
In the kitchen. The Irwin, very melting and almost fibre-free, is best eaten with a spoon or in a smoothie. The Osteen and the Kent, with firmer flesh and just as little fibre, are easy to work in slices or dice - perfect in a pea shoot salad for example. Less suited to prolonged cooking, all three of them: it would be a shame to waste their fragrance.
A word on the 3 varieties. The Irwin opens the Spanish season from August: the earliest, the smallest (300 to 400 g), with melting, almost fibre-free flesh. The Osteen takes over from September to November: medium size (300 to 700 g), low-fibre flesh that slices well. The Kent brings up the rear until the end of November: the largest of the three (600 to 750 g), with firm, juicy, almost fibre-free flesh. Between them, they cover almost the whole Spanish mango season. The exact mix in your box depends on the harvest at the time - allow about ten fruits for 5 kg, all varieties combined.
🥭 What mango really contains:
1) High in vitamin C
This is mango's number one asset, and this one is solid: 36 mg of vitamin C per 100 g, i.e. 46% of the reference intake. Vitamin C contributes to the normal function of the immune system, to the protection of cells from oxidative stress, and to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
2) Source of folate (vitamin B9)
Far less well known, and yet. With 43 µg per 100 g, i.e. 21% of the reference intake, mango is a source of folate - a vitamin that plant-based diets generally cover well, but which is rarely in excess. Folate contributes to normal psychological function and to normal blood formation, and has a role in the process of cell division. It also contributes to maternal tissue growth during pregnancy.
3) Carotenoids, including lutein and zeaxanthin
The deep orange colour of the flesh tells you so, in all three varieties: beta-carotene, lutein, zeaxanthin. To date, no health claim is authorised in Europe for lutein and zeaxanthin. What we can say is that mango contains them.
4) Vitamin C increases iron absorption
You read everywhere that mango is supposedly very high in iron. In reality, that is false: it contains very little. On the other hand, its vitamin C increases iron absorption. In concrete terms: diced mango on a lentil or sprouted seed salad.
5) Vitamin C, collagen and skin
Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of skin, blood vessels, bones and cartilage. So much for what is established. On the other hand, mango does not "rejuvenate" the skin and does not replace sun protection - do not listen to what is said on that subject.
6) Fibre and water
1.6 g of fibre per 100 g, around 83% water, 60 kcal per 100 g. A ready-made 4 o'clock snack.
A varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle are important. The beneficial effects mentioned above are obtained with a consumption of around 200 to 300 g of mango, as part of a balanced diet.
Direct supply chain from Andalusia
We could not be more direct from this producer in Granada, Spain! Iulian Pescara took over the family business in 2018. 2 generations have followed one another in organically farming the various fields of avocados, papayas, cherimoyas and other local, seasonal exotic fruits, all of excellent quality and brought to perfection by the sun of southern Spain.
Irwin, Osteen and Kent were all three selected in Florida before finding in Andalusia one of their best adopted homes. On the same plots of the Costa Tropical, they follow one another as the harvest progresses - the Irwin from August, the Osteen from September to November, the Kent until the very end of the season - which allows us to offer you this mix for a good part of the year. The subtropical microclimate of the Costa Tropical, wedged between the Sierra Nevada and the Mediterranean, clearly suits them all very well.
The mango mix comes in a 5-kilo pack.
Shipping is direct from Malaga, from the producer, by GLS. Once your parcel has been dispatched, delivery to your home takes 2/3 working days (non-contractual). You will receive an email from the carrier GLS informing you that your parcel has been sent, with a tracking link.
If you order other products from our shop, you will also have to pay the standard delivery charges for your other products: one parcel will leave from Marseille and another from Malaga. Arrives in 2 separate parcels.
No pick-up points. No delivery to Switzerland.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between Irwin, Osteen and Kent mangoes?
The Irwin is the earliest (from August) and the smallest (300 to 400 g), with bright red skin and melting, almost fibre-free flesh, best eaten with a spoon. The Osteen takes over from September to November: medium size (300 to 700 g), green to yellow skin with a red-purple blush, low-fibre flesh that slices well. The Kent closes the season, until the end of November: the largest (600 to 750 g), yellow-green skin with red-purple patches, firm, juicy flesh, almost fibre-free. This mix lets you compare all three in a single order.
How do you know if a mango is ripe, whatever its variety?
By touch and smell, never by colour. The red patches or blush that appear on the skin, on the Osteen as on the Kent, are there well before the fruit is ripe. Press gently near the stalk: the flesh should give slightly under your thumb, without being soft. A ripe mango also gives off a clear, sweet scent.
Why don't all my mangoes ripen at the same time?
That is normal with a mixed box: each variety has its own ripening pace, and even within the same variety, not all the fruits ripen at exactly the same moment. The Irwin, more melting, is generally ready first. The right habit: check the box regularly and refrigerate each fruit as soon as it is ripe, rather than waiting for all of them to be.
How do you speed up ripening?
A kraft paper bag with an apple or a banana inside: these fruits give off ethylene, which triggers ripening. Conversely, if you want to slow things down, space the fruits out in a cool, airy place out of the sun - and definitely not in the fridge while they are still hard, as the cold blocks the process.
How many mangoes in a 5 kg mixed box?
About ten fruits, all varieties combined - the exact mix (proportion of Irwin, Osteen and Kent) depends on the harvest at the time. We do not sort by size: the box leaves just as it comes out of the orchard.
How long do they keep once ripe?
Allow around a fortnight in the fridge for the Osteen and the Kent, both firmer, versus only 2 to 4 days for the Irwin, with its melting flesh that is more fragile once ready. In all cases, it is better to refrigerate each fruit as soon as it is ripe rather than leaving it waiting at room temperature.
Can you freeze these mangoes?
Yes, and it is even the best way to deal with a surplus, whatever the variety. Cut the flesh into dice, spread them on a tray, freeze, then transfer to a bag. The frozen dice put through a blender give you an instant sorbet with nothing added.
What is the season for this mix in Spain?
From August to the end of November: the Irwin opens the season, the Osteen takes over from September to November, and the Kent closes it. It is precisely because these three varieties follow one another on the same plots that we can offer you this mix for a good part of the year. Out of season, you can fall back on our freeze-dried mangoes, which keep most of the nutrients and flavour.
