I was there earlier this arvo and noticed something amiss (lots of clear space in store) but didn't think much about it. That's a shame- do you know when they're closing down? I didn't realise the branch in Richmond closed also!
its anytime soon.. most of the staff has already been moved out or transferred to other woolies division.
I am guessing they waiting for Lease to expire..
Calypso. Good name and branding. Look good too, round and plump.
Yet I find these are generally the most tasteless you can buy. Pretty much only good for some salads, when you need them not to turn to mush.
I'd rather pay more for ones that have real mango flavor.
yeah generally calypso mangoes aren't that great. They look really good and the name is appealing but the taste is usually a letdown
Good price. Just read up on these Mangos.
Haven't tried one that I know of yet. Are they really that tasteless?Calypso™ Mangoes are a specific mango variety scientifically known as the B74… but Calypso™ sounds so much better! One Harvest owns the rights to the variety, therefore we control and manage the growing and breeding process to ensure that all Calypso™ Mangoes meet our criteria for the “perfect mango”.
We’ve spent over 20 years developing the B74 variety, which is the “daughter” of a Kensington Pride and a Sensation. We’ve taken the best of both varieties and combined them into one – giving you the most visibly beautiful and delicious mango experience every time, for any occasion.
Calypso™ Mangos have specific features including:
Smaller Seed – so you have more juicy cheek, which is better value for money
Firmer Flesh – Calypso™ Mangoes have a firmer flesh that is perfectly suited to use in salads, grill on the barbecue, even cook lightly on the stove or in the oven. This versatility means you can include that mango flavour you love in your favourite recipes!
Fibre-free Flesh – so you don’t get those “bits” stuck in your teeth. No fibres means Calypso™ Mangoes are great for pureeing… they make a fantastic summer chutney or sauce.
Consistent Quality – Over 20 years, we have developed the highest quality control procedures as well as proven growing, harvesting and packing processes on all our farms. This means we can deliver fruit that is a consistent quality, ripe and ready to eat throughout the Calypso™ season, year after year.
When you bring home a Calypso™ Mango, we want you to have an experience to remember. With more mango and less seed, how could you possibly go past a Calypso™!so this means it is in the same family group as the Bowen if related to KP?
all i know is r2e2's are shit. its the mango that the farmers grow along the perimeter to deter the fruit bat
They taste good, also there is special mango cutter use to come along with it which seperate the peel and seed.
Similar to Apple cutter if you have seen one
Nice, thanks!
I bought a box, found them tasty!
I found them very nasty too
Has anyone tried Honey Gold Mangos?
Meant to taste the best.
Ready the Interwebs the order of tastiness for these 3 is Honey Gold, Bowen and Calypso in 3rd place.a nicely ripe honey gold is very nice, better than calypso in my opinion. But again in my opinion the kensington pride mangoes are the best. I work with fruit and veg and from my experience the honey golds, while at their best are very good, it is often hard to get ones that are properly ripe and good quality
Thanks.
I seconded this. Just bought a Honey Gold today. Quite sour! Maybe it is not ripe enough :(
Third this. Honey gold, in my limited experience, are easily the best. I'll pay whatever, but might not stock up if they're super expensive.
Actually honey gold keep real well. Unlike other mangoes that go bad pretty quick.
Here's my personal comparative mango rankings, based on 1000+ mangoes sampled working with fruit over the years. Note: All mangoes are delicious, these are comparative rankings.
God tier:
Honey GoldTop tier:
Kensington Pride
Alphonso (very popular overseas, hard to find in Aus)Mid tier:
R2E2 (lots of flesh, small pip, hit and miss on taste)
Calypso (keep longer but taste so-so imho. good for fruit salads as they are generally pretty firm)
Keitt (taste ok but i find they don't keep long)Average-Low tier:
Palmer
Pearl
BrooksDestitute tier:
Mexican (out of season variety at woolies. eat if desperate)I rate the Alphonso over honey gold any day.
And the Alphonso Mongo isn't hard to find in Australia as you mentioned. It's impossible to find in Australia. You can only find the pulp which really taste not much like the actual mango.Cool, thanks for the feedback.
The best Australian mango is the honeygold mango. There is just no competition in Australia to it.
You always can get it way cheaper at Springvale anyway :)
never seen a Honeygold—— Love the Kensington's though
If you love the Kensington I highly recommend you try the Honeygold. The Honeygold is a cross between Kensington and an unknown species. Much nicer flavour
My preference is for Strawberry mangoes, a specialty not found often in shops, but the taste is magnificient, but a kensington is top of the ladder as well.
Saw similar deal at the Port Melbourne branch - $16 for a tray, but only small sized mangoes. From what I can see, much smaller than those in the OP's pic.
The large ones were being flogged for 2 for $6.
good find
ps: this store soon will be clearing out lot of other stuff as its closing down soon
