4. Kohitur Mango - India

Kohitur is a royal mango from West Bengal that has some history. The fruit was cultivated for Mughal emperors and is one of the rarest seasonally available mangoes. This mango is truly exclusive, as it has not only a soft texture and floral notes but also a process in cultivation that's basically nearing extinction.

 5. Hakugin No Taiyo - Japan

Hakugin No Taiyo, or ‘Sun in the Snow’, is cultivated in a greenhouse with an outdoor temperature of minus eight degrees. Since 2011, Hiroyuki Nakagawa, a Japanese man, has been cultivating this fruit in Japan's cold Tokachi region. 

6. Imam Pasand - India

Imam Pasand is a massive fruit and the taste is both tangy and sweet; some fruit lovers swear by it. The fruit is sensitive and fragile so not much is travelled except by low airs; the tree can be felled for storage showing the respect yielded for this fruit. Imam Pasand is grown in two states notably Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu.

7. Chaunsa Mango - Pakistan

Chaunsa is one of Pakistan's super mango exports; the search for Chaunsa is heavy, and it's extremely sweet and aromatic but not tart, unlike the white in the flesh but extremely juicy. Furthermore, Chaunsa has virtually no remainder of fibre; in the Middle East and Europe people are proud to pay heavy prices because of Chaunsa's taste, its life is virtually half of the country.

8. Langra Mango - India

Langra mango, which comes from the Varanasi region is an extremely popular mango. Langra mango has a fibrous, tangy sweet pulp and is incredibly aromatic. Mid-season mangoes tend to lose some quality, however, Langra maintains its merit. The togetherness of its cutting period and its name regionally allows it to find its calling as a premium mango.

9. Malda (Fazli) Mango - India

Malda mango, specifically Fazli, is a large, mild, sweet mango from Bengal. The size can come in the range of 1 Kg and tonnes, and while small Malda can be milky, it wouldn't be an issue compared to the late-season cut time, which can create flavour. Malda is a nice pulp, a very light and soft pulp if it goes that far. That is to say, it has been a desired mango for desserts and sweets based on mango.

10. Keitt Mango - Egypt

Keitt (pronounced KATE) mango is a late-season variety from Egypt that stays green when ripe. Typically yielding large fruit, the pulp is juicy, less fibrous, and has a refreshingly sweet taste. The Keitt mango is increasing in popularity in the European markets as a common eating mango variety.
