Hapus, Alphonso and Aam: one fruit, three names
People searching for Hapus aam, Hapus amba or Alphonso are looking for the same variety. Hapus is the name used in Maharashtra and Goa. Alphonso is the English trade name. The variety is named after Afonso de Albuquerque, and mango grafting was introduced in Portuguese Goa by Jesuit missionaries. Because Indian-group mangoes are monoembryonic, a named variety like Alphonso is propagated by grafting rather than from seed, which is why a Hapus orchard is a planted orchard of grafted trees and not a forest of seedlings.
Ratnagiri is a district on the Konkan coast. Devgad is a taluka in neighbouring Sindhudurg district. Both grow the same Alphonso, and both fall inside the GI-tagged area for Alphonso (GI No. 139). We keep two listings because customers ask for each name, and we do not rank one above the other. Our Ratnagiri and Devgad Hapus guide explains the two names without picking a winner. For the history of the name, read the origin of Hapus.
Where the fruit comes from and how it is picked
Our Hapus comes from the Ratnagiri and Devgad belt of the Konkan, the coastal strip between the Arabian Sea and the Deccan Plateau. Alphonso from this belt is GI-tagged in India under GI No. 139, and we hold the GI Authorised User certificate AU/5974/GI/139/260 (GI No. 139). Our Brand Facts page lists the certificate details.
Harvest is done at Brahma Muhurta, before dawn, and fruit is picked by hand with a zela pole fitted with a catching net, so the mango does not fall to the ground. A fruit that is dropped bruises under the skin even when the outside looks clean. The full harvest story is in our Hapus harvesting guide.
Fresh fruit is a seasonal product. Alphonso is harvested about February to June, with the best supply from March to May. The 2027 season opens on 1 February 2027. Until then the fresh listings show as unavailable, and we do not sell fresh Alphonso outside the season. Our Alphonso season guide has the month-by-month picture.
How we ripen it: no carbide, hay beds
We do not use carbide. Our Alphonso mangoes are ripened naturally on hay beds. Calcium carbide is prohibited for ripening fruit in India under Regulation 2.3.5 of the Food Safety and Standards (Prohibition and Restrictions on Sales) Regulations, 2011; ethylene up to 100 ppm is the permitted alternative. We are an FSSAI-licensed seller.
Harvest to ripening of Alphonso takes about 15 days, so a box that reaches you may hold a few firm fruits next to softer ones. That is how naturally ripened fruit behaves, not a fault. Lay the mangoes in a single layer at room temperature, check them every morning, and eat each one when it gives slightly at the shoulder and smells sweet at the stalk. Do not put firm fruit in the fridge. Our ripening guide covers each stage.
How to check you are getting genuine Hapus
Whoever you buy from, ask three plain questions: which belt did the fruit grow in, how was it ripened, and can the seller show a GI Authorised User certificate. A seller who answers clearly is a good sign. A seller who avoids the second question is not.
| Clue | What to look for |
|---|---|
| Skin | Saffron-yellow with a green tinge near the stalk is common. Colour varies, so treat it as a rough clue. |
| Aroma | A sweet, fruity smell, strongest near the stalk, builds as the fruit ripens. |
| Size | Alphonso fruits generally weigh 150 to 300 g; very large fruit is more likely to be another variety. |
| Flesh | Saffron-orange, rich and non-fibrous when cut. |
No home test, including the bucket-of-water test, proves a mango is real Alphonso or how it was ripened. Use these as clues and rely on the seller's answers and paperwork. Our guide to identifying authentic Hapus goes through them in more detail.
