Frozen mango purée

For the production of its puree, Maison Ponthier has selected the prestigious Alphonso mango from Ratnagiri. Mangoes from this region have the reputation of being among the best in the world and the Alphonso variety is the most prized among dozens of other varieties. The coastal region of Ratnagiri guarantees excellent fruit quality due to the high humidity and the acidic and rocky soil. In the partner plantations of Maison Ponthier, the trees are abundantly irrigated as soon as the fruit reaches the size of a grape, with almost 50 litres of water per day per tree. Strict control of the Brix level of the mangoes allows them to be harvested when fully ripe. Small in size, highly concentrated in sugar and pigments, they are perfectly flavoured, fleshy and non-fibrous.
