About Calypso Mangoes Calypso™ MANGO – OCTOBER 2008 WILL BE TIME FOR MANGO MADNESS!
Delicious Calypso™ Mangoes are gone again! Calypso™ Mangoes are not available again until the end of October 2008 - Sorry!
Not all mangoes are created equal and in Calypso™ Mangoes you will find what has been described as the ‘perfect mango’ experience -worth waiting until October for!
Calypso™ mangoes give you what you want from a mango; they have a small seed which means they give you extra big cheeks! Their deliciously sweet flesh is firm and fibre-free, so there are no ‘bits’ to get stuck in your teeth and drive you mad for hours.
Calypsos™ are also very attractive; with their smooth, high blush sun-kissed skin they have the rich reds, warm oranges and subtle yellows of a perfect sunset.
The variety B74, marketed exclusively under the Calypso™ brand, is the first new mango to be introduced to Australian consumers in 20 years – specifically bred to capture the stunning flavour of Australia’s famous Kensington Pride (Bowen) mango and combining the friendly characteristics of the Sensation mango, to create the Calypso’s™ high blush colours, smooth texture, firm flesh and impressively small seed!
Succulent sweet taste is one thing, but the fibre-free dense flesh of the Calypso™ makes it very versatile and perfect to enjoy any time, every time.
Once they're back in season, you can be tempted at breakfast with a Spiced Calypso™ smoothie. Warm things up with a Calypso™ Mango & fresh seafood salad for lunch, then cool things down with a Calypso™ Mango Parfait for desert. Finish your day with a Calypso™ Cocktail, the perfect partner for a hot summer night!
The extra cheek you’ll find in a Calypso™ delivers extra vitamin A, C and Beta Carotene. The Calypso™ is also bursting with Vitamin E, potassium and provides a good source of fibre – no wonder the Calypso™ looks and feels so good inside and out.
Calypso™ mangoes will be found in the produce department of major supermarkets and in your favourite green grocer right through from late October to March 2008/2009 – so mark that on your calendar now so you don't forget.
