Where does the mango come from?
The mango originally comes from South Asia, that is from countries like India and Bangladesh. You can think of it like apples: in the past they only grew in certain places, but today they are cultivated wherever it is warm enough. Mango trees are now found in many warm countries, for example in Southeast Asia, Africa, Mexico, Brazil and some regions of Europe with a warm climate. Fresh mangoes are often seasonal, meaning they grow and are harvested only at certain times of the year.

Lattella Mango is a fruit‑milk beverage that has the taste of mango. The flavor can be introduced into the drink in different ways:
- Fruit puree: This is real mashed fruit flesh. It can sometimes feel a bit chunky or pulpy, like a soft fruit compote.
- Fruit concentrate: This is like a strong version of mango juice. Juice is taken and the water is reduced so that more flavor remains. Concentrates are often imported because fresh mangoes do not grow everywhere all year round.
- Flavorings: Sometimes mango flavor is created by aromatic additives. These ensure that the drink tastes the same even when real fruit is scarce.
Why is Lattella Mango often readily available?
Even though fresh mangoes can be harder to obtain depending on the season, Lattella Mango is usually available in supermarkets year‑round. This is because manufacturers use concentrates or flavorings that do not spoil as quickly as fresh fruit. In addition, drinks are bottled or packed in tetrapaks and packaged to be long‑lasting. You can therefore often find Lattella Mango in the refrigerated shelf, sometimes also unrefrigerated in certain assortments.
