Anwar Ratol Mango in the UK
Anwar Ratol is a small, intensely perfumed heirloom variety. This page describes what it is and how a carton reaches you.
Why this matters
Anwar Ratol is often misidentified in the UK. A short description of what real Anwar Ratol looks and smells like is more useful than another marketing rewrite.
Character
Small fruit, typically much lighter than a Chaunsa. The skin is thin and yellow-green ripening to deeper yellow. The flesh is smooth with a small stone. What sets Anwar Ratol apart is aroma, pronounced floral and rose-water notes.
Season and region
Anwar Ratol usually opens in late June and runs through parts of July. The variety is associated with central Punjab, including districts around Multan, Khanewal and Vehari.
Reserving an Anwar Ratol carton
The shop opens Anwar Ratol cartons as the first mature fruit is confirmed. Fresh Pakistani mango consignments arrive through the season. Most volume goes into our UK wholesale network; direct customer orders are allocated from the freshest available arrival. PakMango dispatches Monday to Thursday across mainland UK, and the carrier's expected delivery follows dispatch. Carrier delays are possible, so delivery dates are estimates, not guarantees.
At home
Anwar Ratol softens quickly. Once ripe, eat within a couple of days or refrigerate briefly. The traditional Pakistani way is to soften the fruit in your hand and squeeze the pulp through a small bite at the stem end.
