Kesar mango — named for the saffron-like (kesar) richness of its deep orange flesh — is one of India's most prestigious and beloved mango varieties, grown primarily in the Gir region of Gujarat and the Junagadh area, where the unique climate and mineral-rich soil produce fruit of extraordinary sweetness, aromatic richness, and characteristic golden-orange colour. While Alphonso is the king, Kesar is undeniably the queen of Indian mangoes, and Lioncroft's Kesar Mango Pulp captures this magnificent fruit at the height of its season in a smooth, vibrant purée of genuine quality.

Kesar mango pulp has a slightly less fibrous, more uniformly smooth texture than Alphonso, with a sweetness that is intense and rounded rather than sharp, and an aroma that is deeply tropical and intoxicating. It is the mango of choice in Gujarat and Rajasthan for aamras, mango shrikhand, and the preparation of mango-based sweets and desserts during the festival season. In professional kitchens, Kesar pulp produces beautifully smooth mango sorbets, ice creams, and coulis with a vibrant natural colour that requires no enhancement. Stirred into yoghurt with a little cardamom and saffron, it becomes a simple, luxurious dessert in minutes. Used in cocktails and mocktails, its rich sweetness and tropical fragrance create drinks of genuine distinction. Lioncroft's Kesar Mango Pulp is a premium product for those who understand that the finest mango preparations begin with the finest mango.
