1. Introduction to Xoài Cát Chu
Table of Contents
Xoài Cát Chu is widely considered the second most premium mango in Vietnam, following only the legendary Cát Hòa Lộc. Originating from Cao Lanh, Dong Thap Province, its name “Chu” refers to its slightly curved (curving in) shape or, as some locals say, its “vermilion” (chu sa) skin color when fully ripe.
At Vinahugo, we offer Cát Chu mangoes that are celebrated for their intense aroma, fiberless texture, and delicate sweetness. It is the preferred variety for high-end exports to demanding markets like Japan, South Korea, and Australiabecause it handles the VHT (Vapor Heat Treatment) process exceptionally well without losing its flavor.
