Mangoes in Tenerife: the mango tree on the farm
Among the tropical fruits at Viva la Finca is the mango. Seeing mangoes hanging from the tree in Tenerife surprises almost everyone who arrives.
From the tree to the table
Mangoes hang from long stalks and change colour as they ripen. Freshly picked, the farm's mango is nothing like the supermarket one.
Season
Like everything here, it follows the season. There are months of mango and months of waiting.
