To extract Alphonso mango pulp, the process entails meticulous selection and processing of fully ripened Alphonso mangoes of exceptional quality. The introduction of Alphonso mango to India is credited to the Portuguese explorer, Alfonso, who brought it to Goa, after which it was disseminated to different parts of South India, Ratnagiri in Maharashtra, and Gujarat. 

While there are several Alphonso mango variations, the ones grown in Devgad, situated in Maharashtra’s Konkan region, are deemed as the best. Known as Hapus or Hapoos in Maharashtra, Alphonso mangoes are considered the king of mangoes and are in high demand in both domestic and international markets owing to their unparalleled flavor, richness, and sweetness.
