Sicily grows mangoes. Yes, really. 🥭
Vincenzo Amata never planned to become a mango farmer. He discovered Sicilian mangoes later in life, and one taste inspired him to build his own mango orchard. He rescued abandoned citrus groves and planted mango trees.
Vincenzo's mangoes are picked by hand at exactly the right moment, bursting with flavor, and kissed by the Sicilian sun. Keep swiping and you'll see the mango nursery, where young trees get their start. Vincenzo says that plants are like babies because they need constant attention, patience, and care. Basically, he's a mango dad with 4 hectares of mango tree babies.
Here's where our friend Marco Colzani comes in.
Marco has a sixth sense for finding exceptional fruit. When he discovered Vincenzo's mangoes, he was hooked.
Marco says that respecting fruit means preserving it just as it is. That's exactly what he does when he turns Vincenzo's mangoes into nectar. No preservatives, colorings, or additives. Just mangoes, a little Italian raw sugar, and a squeeze of lemon juice. The result is unbelievably thick, dazzlingly orange, and as close as you can get to drinking a freshly squeezed mango juice on the beach.
Sicilian Mango season has officially started. Celebrate by pouring yourself a glass of mango nectar. 🥭
