A Sweet and Creamy Mango with a Buttery Texture

If you’re used to the more fibrous Tommy Atkins mango, probably the most popular variety in the states, then the Ataulfo or honey mango might shock you with its creamy, custardy texture. Unlike that fibrous variety, this mango is buttery and, well, pretty elegant in texture — especially when it reaches peak ripeness. That alone makes it a favorite for eating out of hand, but it’s also amazing for smoothies and shakes. I made a lassi with one recently and it was near perfection.

It’s All in the Name

Originally these mangoes where named after the grower responsible for the variety, Ataulfo Morales Gordillo, and while you might still find that name in grocery stores, honey mango and champagne is used with increasing frequency. The origin designation of these mangoes remains protected by the Mexican Institute of Industrial Property, much in the same way Champagne is protected in France.
