## A mango inseparable from El Caney

Local tradition: an attributed account, with uncertainty preserved.

Cuba’s technical manual ties Bizcochuelo to longstanding cultivation in the Valle del Caney, near Santiago de Cuba. It describes a regional fruit whose quality and success can change when grown elsewhere.

The same manual calls its origin unknown. A possible arrival with Haitian migrants is reported as a possibility, not an established pedigree. Local significance is well documented even when ancestry is not.
