Ratnagiri Alphonso Aam Ras: Pure Unsweetened Mango Pulp

Ratnagiri Alphonso Aam Ras is an unsweetened, pure mango pulp that's redolent with memories of annual holidays. Stretch the fleeting mango season beyond the summer with Aazol's fresh hapus aam ras. Firm, saffron-hued and sweet, this pure unsweetened mango pulp can be used in sherbet, blended with milk or yoghurt for a smoothie, or churned into aamrakhand (mango shrikhand). We like to scoop it up with hot puris just like Maharashtrians do at Gudi Padwa lunch.

Provenance

India’s association with the mango is millions of years old. It finds a mention in Vedic literature, and can be traced to Burma and Bangladesh. When the Portuguese encountered the maanga in Kerala, they carried it to the world as mango. As did Buddhist monks, who popularised the fruit in Southeast Asia. The Ratnagiri Alphonso has a GI tag because its unique flavour and potent aroma is found nowhere else. Thus, it gains from the rich, low-moisture laterite soil, Arabian sea breeze and hilly conditions of the group of Konkan villages it calls home.

About The Seller

Gondhalekar’s Annapurna Gruha Udyog was founded in 2015 by Mr. Vinod Gondhalekar and Mrs. Vaidehi Gondhalekar with a humble production unit. Their journey began with their first product — young canned jackfruit, later expanding to include Alphonso Mango Pulp as their second offering. In 2021, their son Mr. Vishal Gondhalekar joined the business, bringing fresh ideas and renewed energy. After the first pandemic, the family established their first semi-automatic factory, spread across 3,000 sq. ft., marking a major milestone in their growth journey. Today, the company proudly offers various types of Alphonso Mango Pulp known for their authentic Konkan taste and superior quality, along with over 25 other traditional food products. Rooted deeply in the Konkan region’s tradition and flavours, all their products are crafted using traditional methods that preserve the true essence of Konkan.
