Chorao’s Mancurad are grown on the foothills of the island which provide almost the ideal conditions for growing mangoes of high quality. For centuries, the unique protected ecosystem on the island has provided an ideal environment for mangoes to grow and flourish. These ‘heirloom varieties’ have been maintained with the use of natural (non-industrial) cultivation techniques and still grow in mixed orchards where many trees are several decades old.
The Chorao Mancurad that our Farmers’ Club offers are:
- Grown using sutainable techniques without the use of fertilisers
- Are allowed to mature fully on the trees and are not plucked prematurely
- Are ripened naturally in beds of hayfor 4-6 days WITHOUT using chemical and artificial ripening agents
- Handpicked so that you get the juciest and largest mangoes of our crop
- Widely percieved to be amongst the best of Goa’s mancurad
