Named for Alphonso d’Albuquerque, a Portuguese fidalgo from the 15th century whose military genius helped establish the Portuguese colonial empire in India, the Alphonso is unlike any mango you’ve ever tasted—sweet, silky, and sublime. Unsurprisingly, it’s also the most expensive mango in Mumbai’s bazaars.

FYI: The mango is the national fruit of India, and though the country produces more than a third of the world’s total yield, Indian mangoes make up less than 1% of the international mango trade. If you’ve ever tried an Indian mango, you can kind of understand why the country keeps its fruit to itself.
