The Orange Essence mango is an excellent new mango from the breeding program of Gary Zill of Boynton Beach, Florida, developed from a Kent mango seedling. It is a heavy producer of large, oval-shaped, greenish-yellow fruit with a deep orange hue inside. The flavor is described as a complex blend of sweetness with refreshing orange undertones and a slightly tart citrus finish. It is fiberless and has a firm flesh, ripening in the latter half of the season (July to August). An interesting fact about the Orange Essence mango is that its flavor profile combines the sweetness of mango with refreshing orange undertones, reminiscent of fresh-squeezed orange juice.
