Fresh Aussie Mangoes
The Australian Mango: 100% Aussie gold.
Nothing says Australia and summer like a mango. ALDI mangoes are all 100% Australian grown, available for the warmer months, in all our stores.
Meet our mango farmers: Blushing Acres.
Blushing Acres is a mango farm in the Atherton Tablelands west of Cairns. Tropical, with perfectly-timed cold snaps, Blushing Acres has been supplying ALDI with juicy, sweet mangoes for nearly 20 years. Blushing Acres has also worked to be more sustainable by using less water and less herbicides, and partnering with ALDI for less food waste.

Marvellous mango facts
How to serve different types of mangoes
Kensington Prides are sweet and succulent, so they’re just great on their own or in your favourite salads or smoothies. Calypsos also love to party in a salad, as well as being good to barbecue, or on a pav or some pancakes.
How to store mangoes
If your mangoes are ripe, they should last on the kitchen bench for 2-3 days (assuming no one eats them before then!). If your ripe mangoes are stored in the fridge, they should last for up to 5 days.
How to ripen mangoes
If you’ve bought mangoes that are a little green or under-ripe, the best thing to do to speed up the ripening process is to store them in a paper bag at room temperature. If you want to store your mangoes once their ripe, be sure to store them in the fridge to slow down the ripening process.
How to freeze mangoes and enjoy all summer long
Once your mangoes are ripe, freeze them for a healthy snack later. To freeze your mangoes, peel and core the mango, chop the flesh into chunks and store the pieces in an air-tight ziplock bag. For a quick and healthy snack, slice off the mango cheeks and freeze them with their skin on. Take the mango cheeks out of the freezer and spoon the flesh from the skin as a healthy ice-cream tub alternative. For another sweet treat, have a go at dehydrating your mangoes. This is sure to satisfy even the fussiest eaters and when dried and stored correctly, the mango should last for several months.
Where do calypso mangoes come from?
Aussie grown Calypso mangoes were first introduced in 1999, and have stormed the market since with more flesh, less seed. They took the variant owners 30 years to make, and they’re the ‘daughter’ of Kensington Pride and Sensation mangoes.
What is the origin of the mango?
Even though ALDI gets mangoes from Australia, they were first grown in India over 5,000 years ago.
