At Dolce Frutti, we believe mangos are more than just fruit—they’re a celebration of sunshine, sweetness, and culture. Known as the “king of fruits,” mangos are loved across the globe for their unique flavors, textures, and uses. But did you know there are over 1,000 varieties of mangos worldwide? From India to Mexico, Egypt to California, each region adds its own twist to this golden delight.
So, with so many choices, which mangos are truly worth tasting? Let’s explore.
A World of Mango Varieties
Mangos come in different shapes, sizes, and flavors depending on where they’re grown. Some are small and tangy, perfect for pickling, while others are large, juicy, and sweet, best enjoyed fresh. Popular varieties around the world include:
-
Alphonso Mango (India): Famous for its saffron-colored pulp and sweet aroma.
-
Ataulfo Mango (Mexico): Small, buttery, and honey-sweet.
-
Tommy Atkins (Florida, USA): Widely available, with firm flesh and mild sweetness.
- Kent Mango (Peru/Florida): Rich, juicy, with fewer fibers—excellent for smoothies.
But among all these, California mangos from the Coachella Valley bring something truly special to the table. Thanks to the unique desert climate and nutrient-rich soil, our mangos develop vibrant flavor profiles that set them apart.
Dolce Frutti’s Top 3 Mango Varieties
At Dolce Frutti, we’re proud to grow and share some of the finest mangos California has to offer. After tasting and harvesting many varieties, we believe these three deserve the spotlight:
1. Keitt Mango – The Pickler’s Favorite
Large, green-skinned, and tangy, the Keitt mango is a versatile variety that stays fresh even when firm. Its slightly sour notes make it ideal for pickling, chutneys, and savory dishes. When fully ripe, Keitt mangos turn sweet, offering a refreshing balance of flavor.
2. Valencia Pride Mango – The Summer Classic
Long and slender, the Valencia Pride mango is a summer star in the Coachella Valley. With its juicy, fibrous, and mildly sweet flesh, it’s perfect for snacking, slicing into salads, or blending into smoothies. It’s one of those mangos that instantly transports you to warm, sunny days.
3. Golden Lady Mango – The Dolce Frutti Jewel
Our very own Golden Lady Mango stands out as a premium variety we’re especially proud of. Known for its deep golden flesh, smooth texture, and rich, honey-like sweetness, this mango is the definition of luxury fruit. Whether you enjoy it fresh, paired with desserts, or as a gift box centerpiece, the Golden Lady Mango represents the best of what Coachella Valley orchards can produce.
Which Is the No. 1 Mango Variety?
That depends on what you’re looking for. If you love tangy flavors for cooking, go with Keitt. If you want a juicy, refreshing summer mango, choose Valencia Pride. But if you’re looking for the best-tasting, most indulgent mango, we’d say the crown goes to Golden Lady Mango—a true Dolce Frutti exclusive.
