Cameroon Mango Vinegar - Mango Vinegar

Mango Vinegar from Belberry's Royal Selection

The Cameroon Mango Vinegar is a Belgian fruit vinegar based on white wine vinegar with ripe mango pulp from Cameroon. Sweet-fruity, tropical, harmonious. For chicken salad, asparagus, rice pudding, and warm curries.

Mango vinegar from Belberry is a sweet-fruity fruit vinegar from the Royal Selection line, produced in Kortrijk in West Flanders. In the 200 ml bottle, you'll find a white wine vinegar and the pulp of ripe mangoes from Cameroon – a country with a humid, warm climate and rainy months, which gives the fruits their particularly sweet, tree-ripened character.

Tree-ripened, sweet, with tropical depth

Mangoes from Cameroon are considered particularly aromatic by gourmets because they are allowed to ripen on the tree and are not harvested green. The fruit pulp brings this ripeness directly into the bottle: a rich sweetness with a hint of resin and floral notes, reminiscent of mango chutney, yet soft and round.

In the glass, the Cameroon Mango Vinegar shines golden yellow to amber, and on the palate, it reveals itself to be sweet-sour and surprisingly gentle. The acidity recedes into the background, with mango carrying the main flavor. Ripe, fruity, tropical – a vinegar that is more reminiscent of a chutney than a classic vinegar variation.

We like it with chicken, asparagus, and rice pudding

Mango vinegar is the secret star of warm cuisine: in a marinade of oil, ginger, and mango vinegar for roasted chicken, in curry sauces with coconut milk, or as a fruity counterpoint in a lentil dal. A few drops at the very end transform a simple dish into a delightful discovery.

We especially like it with white asparagus in May: a dressing made from three parts mild sunflower oil, one part mango vinegar, a pinch of salt, and freshly ground black pepper – topped with a few roasted almonds and the appetizer is ready. We also enjoy it with a salad of chicken, arugula, and papaya, where the mango note doubles the papaya's sweetness.

And in dessert, it shows another side: a splash over rice pudding with cinnamon, over quark dishes, or over a coconut sorbet – suddenly the dessert tastes like a distant journey to Africa. Shake before use, the fruit pulp settles when at rest. Store in a cool, dark place after opening.

Kortrijk, Cameroon, and a royal house in Brussels

Belberry Fine Food Creators is located in Kortrijk in West Flanders. There, André Vandererfven took over a small gourmet business from the late 19th century in 1956. His son Thierry has been expanding the Royal Selection line since 1990 – jams, fruit sauces, ketchups, and fruit vinegars like this Cameroon Mango Vinegar. All Belberry products are made without preservatives.

Cameroon is located in Central Africa and is known as "Little Africa" due to its climatic diversity. From tropical rainforest to savanna, mangoes of exceptional quality thrive here, many of them from small-scale wild harvesting. The fact that Belberry brings precisely these mangoes into a Belgian white wine vinegar is a small culinary world tour in a bottle.

The citrus marmalades, which Queen Paola particularly likes, have earned Belberry the title of purveyor to the Belgian royal family. All due respect. If you'd like to try their range, you'll find the complete Belberry assortment with us – for example, the Japanese Yuzu Vinegar, the Sweet Raspberry Vinegar, or other fruit vinegars from our range.
