Rosa Mango
Smaller fruit with a rose-pink blush and sweet, fibrous flesh. Latin American shoppers know it as manga rosa and ask for it by name.
Peru is one of Shaly Foods Inc.'s mango origins. The company imports Rosa mango and Haden mango straight from Peruvian growers, alongside the rest of Peru's mango range and Barhi dates, and ships wholesale to grocers, restaurants and distributors across British Columbia, Alberta and the rest of Canada from its Vancouver base, sold by the carton and pallet, not the piece.
Peru is Shaly Foods' second mango origin, next to Egypt. Most mango on a Canadian shelf already comes from Mexico, Peru or Brazil, so your shoppers know the fruit. Buying direct from Peruvian growers keeps the landed cost down, which is what lets you price mango to move. Request the current price list for what's landing this week.

A large, oval mango with a red blush over yellow and a strong aroma. Haden is the variety the Tommy Atkins was grown from, so it sits comfortably beside the mango your shoppers already buy.
The other varieties Peru ships, quoted on the weekly line sheet as they land. Ask for the list if you want something besides Rosa or Haden.
Peru's date line. When you order, say whether your customers want them fresh and yellow or soft and brown: the two sell to different shoppers.
Stock Rosa when your shoppers are Latin American and buy mango by the piece to eat fresh. Stock Haden when you want a big, aromatic fruit for the display next to your everyday mango. For a mango that tastes clearly different from both, see the Egyptian mango range.
Peruvian mango and dates sell wholesale only, by the carton and pallet. Metro Vancouver runs on Shaly Foods' own trucks and the rest of Canada ships refrigerated. Routes are on the shipping and delivery page, and how pricing works explains why prices come by price list rather than on the site.
Yes. Rosa and Haden are the two named Peruvian varieties on the line, alongside the rest of Peru's mango range. Request the current price list to check what's landing this week.
Yes, fresh and crisp at the khalal stage, before they soften. Shaly Foods sells Barhi dates hard only, never soft or dried.
