Honey Chaunsa (Shahad Chaunsa) in the UK
Honey Chaunsa, Shahad Chaunsa in Pakistan, is the late-season member of the Chaunsa family and the one most often described as intensely sweet.
Why this matters
Most UK sellers label all Chaunsa sub-cultivars the same way. Honey Chaunsa is a distinct late-season style and it helps to know the difference.
Where it sits in the Chaunsa family
The Chaunsa family has three commercial sub-cultivars that hand over across the summer, an early pale-fleshed style, main-season Chaunsa, and Honey Chaunsa in late summer. Honey Chaunsa is typically the last to ripen and the one carrying the strongest honey character.
Character
Amber flesh, dense and rich, with a pronounced honey aroma and a very sweet finish. The fruit is often slightly smaller than main-season Chaunsa.
Season and reservation
Honey Chaunsa typically arrives in August. 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
Slightly firmer than main-season Chaunsa on arrival, so it often benefits from an extra day at room temperature before eating. Refrigerate once ripe.
