Ataulfo (honey)

Considered the king of mangoes, the Ataulfo mango has a designation of origin in Mexico, making it our proud specialty. Its main production is in the states of Chiapas, Oaxaca and Nayarit.

It is preferred by most consumers for its incredible flavor and smooth pulp, in addition to its intense yellow color. The Ataulfo has a small bone, so each mango brings more meat.
