## The country guide

Our current selection for Burkina Faso begins with Amélie, Samassi, Guinée. Explore the tasting stories and documented names below as starting points. These are mangoes associated with this place, not a complete inventory or a claim that each one originated here. A fuller country guide is still taking shape.

## Season and availability

A country-specific season guide has not been verified yet. Dates on individual tasting stories are not a national harvest calendar; local harvests and imported availability need separate context.

## At the table

The tasting stories offer editorial serving and ripeness suggestions for individual mangoes. Local eating traditions still need further research for this country guide.
