3. Production Process of Frozen Chocolate-Covered Mango Sticks

Step 1: Raw Material Selection

Kaew mangoes are carefully selected from the raw material growing areas in Dong Thap Province, Vietnam, using only premium-quality fruits at optimal ripeness.
Dong Thap mangoes are well-known in Vietnam for their natural sweetness, uniform size, attractive color, and consistent quality that meets export processing standards.

Step 2: Pre-processing and Shaping

After harvesting, the mangoes are transported to the HungHau Foods processing factory in Dong Thap Province, Vietnam.
They are thoroughly washed, peeled, defective parts are removed, and the mango cheeks are cut into stick shapes and skewered—making them convenient for chocolate coating and consumption.

The mango surfaces are also treated to ensure uniformity and product consistency.

Step 3: Chocolate Covered

The mango sticks are covered with chocolate at a coverage ratio of 50–100%, flexibly customized according to individual customer requirements (sugar content, chocolate type, coating thickness, etc.).

Step 4: IQF Rapid Freezing

After chocolate coating, the products are transferred to the IQF (Individual Quick Freezing) system, which freezes each piece individually, preserving structure, flavor, texture, and nutritional value of both the mango and the chocolate layer.

Step 5: Packaging and Cold Storage

The frozen chocolate-covered mango sticks are packaged according to customized specifications (1 stick per bag, multiple bags per box, or OEM/Private Label formats), then stored in cold warehouses at -18°C, ready for long-term storage and export transportation.
