- Story
- Created by the legendary Marie Sharp's in Belize, brought to Europe by an Ammersee-based German eco hippie named Jürgen Rahm, who spent 20 years in the tiny Caribbean country of origin. The brand is still under the leadership of the 86-year-old founder and fighter for women's rights and opportunities in Belize.

- A dash or two in your breakfast cereal
- Fun fact
- On Marie Sharp's farm in Belize the mangoes can fully ripen because the processing takes place a 15-minute tractor ride from the facility.
