Catimon Mango: The All-Season Delight for Mango Lovers
Among the finest mango varieties cultivated across the tropics, Catimon Mango (Mangifera indica 'Catimon'), also known as Katimon Mango, stands out for its exceptional sweetness, smooth texture, and rare ability to produce fruit year-round. Originally from Thailand, this mango variety has gained immense popularity in countries like the Philippines and Indonesia, making it a prized addition to home gardens and commercial orchards alike.
Catimon mangoes are medium-sized with a slightly elongated oval shape, making them easy to handle and store. Their skin remains glossy green even when fully ripe, setting them apart from the traditional golden-hued mango varieties.
Beneath the firm skin lies a vibrant yellow, fiberless flesh that is irresistibly smooth and juicy. This mango is known for its buttery consistency, making every bite a delightful experience.
Catimon mangoes boast an intense natural sweetness with a hint of mild tanginess, making them even sweeter than varieties like Amrapali. Their tropical fragrance is rich and inviting, adding to their appeal.
