Description:

• Devgad Alphonso Aam Ras is unsweetened, pure mango pulp that's redolent with memories of annual holidays.
• Stretch the fleeting mango season beyond the summer with Aazol's fresh hapus aam ras. Firm, saffron-hued and sweet, this pure unsweetened mango pulp can be used in sherbet, blended with milk or yoghurt for a smoothie, or churned into aamrakhand (mango shrikhand).
• We like to scoop it up with hot puris just like Maharashtrians do at Gudi Padwa lunch.
• India’s association with the mango is millions of years old.
• It finds a mention in Vedic literature, and can be traced to Burma and Bangladesh.
• When the Portuguese encountered the maanga in Kerala, they carried it to the world as mango.
• As did Buddhist monks, who popularised the fruit in South East Asia. The Devgad hapus has a GI tag because its unique flavour and potent aroma is found nowhere else.
• Thus, it gains from the rich, low-moisture laterite soil, Arabian sea breeze and hilly conditions of the group of Konkan villages it calls home.
