Their culture is uniquely related to enjoying the delicious variety of mangoes like moving anywhere else.

A hafus, introduced by Portugal's Duke Afonso de Albuquerque near the border with Goa, is an adorable fruit. Afonso introduced this fruit variety to the world nearly 400 years ago as the King of fruits.

Despite growing in India for 6,000 years, mangoes were less famous there than they are now. 

Afonso, who conquered them and made it the first Portugal colony, developed this variety of hapus to send them back to Portugal in the Columbian food exchange.

Goa and nearby areas like Devgad, Sindhudurga, and Ratnagiri were the perfect climatic and red soil conditions to cultivate Alphonso aam trees. These started a new love story between the there people and these hapus.

This scorching summer with excellent climatic conditions comes with its generous share of sweat, minerals, heat, and curses with the nearing sea breeze. There are lots of other juicy and chilled aambas during sweltering summer-like:

King of Fruits worldwide with a soft, juicy, sweet, tender pulp, the Goa Alphonso is disappearing nowadays. It is preferred at present by them with Ratnagiri Alphonso Mango and Devgad Alphonso Mango, known for its richness and beautiful mesmerizing texture with significantly less fibre, lower than 3% of the whole fruit.

Excellent taste and a long shelf life make it highly popular and in demand in Goa. Ratnagiri Alphonso is especially needed, followed by Devgad Alphonso.

Alphonso aamba is popularly known as Hapus or Hapoos in Maharashtra, Gujarat, and Goa and as Hapoos Ambo or Afonso in the Konkani language. This fruit is a National obsession during summer.

One of Goa's top most loved aam varieties after Hapoos Amo! Popularly this aamba is called Khurad, Malcorado, Goa Mankur, Corado, and more names. Portugals named this as Malcorado. A red-coloured aamba is called a weak colour. Slowly, Malcorado was transformed into Mankurad Amo! (Amo! means Mango) in Konkani, a Goan language.

A prevalent variety of north Goa Portuguese people named this fruit Malgesh because it was difficult for them to digest. Therefore, they used this fruit as a Table fruit. 

It comes in different sizes, quality, and colour varieties.

There are two Variations of Malgesh Amo Goan's name or Malgesh Aam.

Akno Malgesh – High grade in Malgesh

Khand Malgesh: Lower grade comes with thick skin on them.

A synonym for Malgesh is Akno Malgesh, Malgess, Khand Malgesh, Malgessa, Malgeush, Malgueso, and Malgesta.

Well, a known variety of these fruits in Goa, grown at low heights and used generally as Table fruit, is not sweet but has a peculiar tangy flavour. 

They are Culas Amo, which is less preferred due to its tangy taste and lack of sweetness. It is available in variable variations.

Because they are limitedly cultivated in North Goa, they are typically consumed as home trees and are only available at very low rates.

They were harvested at the end of May and are of average quality. They are extensive and very susceptible to rotting inside. Because of their sour aftertaste, they are primarily used in pickles.

Synonyms for this are Bispo and Bisma. It was inspired by the size of the aam, which looks like the big belly of a Bishop!

Hilario Aam is named after one farmer, Hilario Fernandes of Siolim village in the Bardez taluka of Goa. 

This tree was reported on the Hilario farm; hence, it is called Hilario. They arrive late in May and are available until July. As they are a bit sweeter than others, they fetch a reasonable price in the local market. Hence, Hilario (Mangilal) Amo is very much in demand in the market when no other suitable varieties are available in July.

A synonym for Hilario aam or Hilario Amo, which was slowly changed named in Konkani, is Mang Hilario, Mangilar, Manghilar, and Mangilal.

The Mussarat Amo Variety is used for sweet pickles. In Konkani, it is also known as Mangaad or Mangada (Goan aamba Jam) and is used in some processed food products.

It is North Goa produce, Mussarat aam, named after the Bardez taluka of Goa, where it originated or is found. It inhibits a bright red colour when the fruit is immature.

Fernandina is a variety that does not get spoiled due to fruit flies and heavy rains.

It originated from Bombay and was planted and cultivated there. They delayed flowering and fruiting them, during which harvesting season starts in June. Fernandina hapus is the only aam there that has more consistent pulp than others. Fernandina aam is mainly used as table fruit, yellow fruit with a tangy reddish shade on the shoulders. 

Xavier samba is one of the famous aamba in Goa. It is a Tasty and Juicy variety planted across the State. You can find Xavier aamba near their houses from North Goa to South Goa.

Xavier has two varieties: Fibrous and less Fibrous. 

Other varieties are also available, including Payari, Chaunsa, Totapuri, Himsagar, Dasheri, Badami, and more. These household names can be found in your garden in Goa.

During the summer, the only very best kind of variety, which is always commended as a king, is the royal King Alfonso Hapus!

Many hapoos plantations exist in their countryside, which has plentiful fertile land and natural variations, such as the Ghats and the sea. However, their ground is also covered with hard rocks.

Hence, various efforts are made to blast rocks and refill the blasted area with soil and other materials.

Still, there are many plantations of Bishop, Hilario, Malgesh, Mankurad, Culas, Xavier, Mussarat, Fernandina, and many more. Again, nowadays, Hapus Aam is vanishing from there.

Hafus season starts around April and ends nearly in July with the help of other Hapus.
