Honey Gold Mango – brilliant golden mangoes, rich and sweet with a firm and juicy fibre-free flesh…
The Honey Gold Mango is a distinct and superior mango hybrid, which has resulted naturally from a unique combination of the parental varieties, and has without doubt, had a positive and dramatic effect on the mango industry in Australia and abroad. return to top of page

Three characteristics are particularly relevant to the highly successful market appearance of the fruit:

• Appearance – Once ripe, the skin of the Honey Gold is a brilliant golden apricot yellow with a glossy self-polishing natural waxy coating.
• Eating Quality – Honey Gold has a rich, sweet and aromatic flavour with a firm but juicy, fibre-free flesh. During blind taste tests, participants rated the Honey gold either equal or superior to any other mango variety, both in flavour and texture.
• Shelf Life – The shelf life of the Honey Gold is excellent – the fruit can be kept for several weeks in cool conditions.

History of the Honey Gold Mango
An uncontrolled cross occurred on a Rockhampton mango orchard in 1995 between a Kensington Pride seed parent and an unknown pollen parent. The result was a superior hybrid mango now known as the ‘Honey Gold Mango’.

Piñata Marketing Australia saw the potential of the Honey Gold Mango in
the 2001/2002 mango season. The original farmer was granted Plant
Breeders’ Rights in 1999. Pinata purchased the exclusive rights to the
Honey Gold Mango variety in 2002.

Over the past few years Piñata Marketing Australia has developed the
delicious Honey Gold Mango to be consistently outstanding in taste,
texture and appearance, and you can even eat the skin! return to top of page

Honey Gold Pty Ltd is licensed to commercialise the variety in Australia,
to license growers to grow the variety, and to license agents to sell the fruit. Piñata manages the sales and marketing of all the fruit. We liaise directly with the licensed growers to ensure they observe strict quality standards and also work alongside these growers to make certain all markets are regularly and adequately supplied with quality fruit.
