新鮮芒果只是基本條件、並非只要新鮮,就能作出優質果乾。
故本廠對自家的無添加純天然愛文芒果乾 ,有極為嚴格的一定要求。
(1)指定產區: 因氣候、日曬、土壤等條件,指定台南市南化區之愛文芒果,絕不以屏東等其他產區來製造。
(2)產區訪察: 產區固然重要,但果農的照顧良否,亦為重要。故在愛文芒果產期前,皆須不定期訪察,以確保品質及供貨量。
(3)嚴選品質: 本廠一向堅持的信念為 "用高品質的水果,才能製造出優質的水果乾,並非是把劣質瑕疵滯銷的水果,才拿來作果乾"。故我們堅持以南化區三級以上且每顆重量須達 300公克以上的愛文芒果,作為標準。
(4)台南南化,全區 9成多非山坡即為丘陵,幾無平地可言。但擁有得天獨厚的白堊土,是大自然的恩賜,因土壤中含有極高的鹽分而呈鹼性反應(酸鹼值達 PH8.5),也因此造成農作物生長緩慢,而保存了更為濃郁的甜度與香氣。
(5)南化愛文芒果因擁有如此天然優渥的生長環境,因而果實平均較鄰近玉井等產區的芒果為小,且水份較少,故果肉相對紮實、果香特別濃郁、耐儲存。是故每公斤價格平均高出 8 ~ 15 元。
(6)南化愛文芒果,因品質較佳單價較高,故以外銷日本、中國占大宗,內銷甚,(偶有小部份銷往北部拍賣市場)。
Fresh mangoes are just basic conditions, not as long as they are fresh, high-quality dried fruit can be made.Therefore, our factory has very strict requirements for its own natural dried Aiwen mango without additives.
(1) Designated production area: Due to climate, sunlight, soil and other conditions, the Aiwen mango in Nanhua District, Tainan City is designated, and it will never be produced in other production areas such as Pingtung.
(2) Production area visit: The production area is important, but the care of the fruit grower is also important. Therefore, before the production period of Aiwen mangoes, visits are required from time to time to ensure quality and supply.
(3) Carefully select quality: Our factory has always insisted on the belief that "only high-quality fruits can be used to produce high-quality dried fruits. It is not the use of inferior, defective, unsold fruits to be used as dried fruits". Therefore, we adhere to the standard of Aiwen mangoes of Grade 3 or higher in Nanhua District and each weighing more than 300 grams.
(4) Tainan Nanhua District where more than 90% of the whole district is hillside, and there is almost no flat land to speak of. But having the unique chalky soil is a gift of nature. Because the soil contains extremely high salt, it shows an alkaline reaction (pH 8.5), which causes slower growth of crops and preserves more dense Sweetness and aroma.
(5) Because Nanhua Aiwen mango has such a natural and favorable growth environment, the fruit is smaller on average than the mangoes in nearby Yujing and other production areas. Also it has less water, so the flesh is relatively solid, the fruit fragrant is particularly strong, and it is durable. Therefore, the average price per kilogram is 8-15 yuan higher.
(6) Nanhua Aiwen mangoes are of better quality and higher unit prices, so they are exported to Japan and China, which account for the bulk, and are sold domestically (sometimes a small part is sold to the northern auction market).
