Origin and know-how

Regions : Vakinankaratra – Itasy – Haute Matsiatra
Hand-harvesting – same-day scooping – IQF freezing (no pasteurization)
Aromatic profile
Intensely tropical, tangy, and irresistibly fragrant.
A bright, punchy acidity balanced by sweet tropical depth, with unmistakable floral top notes and a long lingering finish. The seeds bring texture and a subtle nutty contrast.

Processing and professional use
From hand-scooped pulp to professional frozen format.
The pulp is extracted immediately after harvest to prevent fermentation, keeping seeds whole for texture-rich applications. Frozen without pasteurization, all volatile aromatic compounds, natural enzymes, and vitamin C are fully preserved — delivering a product that performs like fresh fruit straight from Madagascar’s highlands.
