Taste and use

That's what makes these dried Andalusian mangoes so special:

• Taste: Sweet fruit strips with the typical strong taste of dried mangoes of the "Keitt" variety.
• Quality features: The mangoes for these sweet strips are grown completely untreated, processed into puree by hand without any additives and gently dried.
• Use: A healthy sweet or an energy-rich snack for in between meals.

Cultivation and ecology

This is how the mangoes are grown and processed:

• Cultivation method: Organic farming.
• Producers: The mangoes are produced by Antonia Jiménez Clavero and Francisco Ortega. Both farms, which have been family-owned for many years, are located in Vélez near Málaga and converted to organic farming a few years ago. In this region, which is characterized by the cultivation of subtropical crops, they are committed to ecologically compatible agriculture and to using the scarce water resources from the nearby reservoir as efficiently and sustainably as possible. They are both part of the Guadalhorce cooperative network. Álvaro, a trained mechanical engineer, has developed a small system for the gentle drying of fruit and vegetables at the Guadalhorce cooperative. This allows the producers to dry their products in small batches that are not suitable for fresh sale or are surplus to requirements. This improves the added value of their production. Álvaro is constantly working on new recipes, products and processes. The Guadalhorce cooperative is part of the Tierra y Libertad network, our partner cooperative in Andalusia.
