"Colombia" mango

[palologrower]

Went to frankies over the wknd and they were selling this mango...  Must've gotten it on a past trip.  They called it "Colombia" mango.  Any other names for this one?  all I know is that I liked it a lot! Very juicy, no fiber.  Had a small zing at the end.  One of my favorites this summer.

I think one of the most known Colombian mangos is Vallenato, could it be the same?

Colombia does not have a big selection of local varieties,  I looked over some Spanish language documents,  and believe the one you have could be the Colombian "Manzano" variety.  shape and color look about right.  not sure if the Colombian manzano is the same as the Mexican manzano,  I do not think they are the same,  the Colombian manzano is described as being around 300 grams,  and I believe the Mexican one is a lot bigger, if I am not mistaken.

Manzano in Spanish is "Apple"  just in case you did not know.

the Mexican one is "Manzanillo" it refers to the  name of the town it was selected ,Located on the Pacific coast, and the color is more of a very dark red almost wine color through the whole mango...

Cool, was running on memory, just remembered they were not that small. and were red and not as oval.   we have a local variety that is also called manzano,  I guess they get these names from the locals because of the shape/color .
