Mango Varieties & IdentificationHow is Jakarta's resinous character different from Zill becoming musky when overripe?
Jakarta's record describes a resinous aroma as part of its normal rich flavor profile. Zill's record specifically warns of an unpleasant musky smell and taste when fruit becomes overripe. Keep the cultivar and eating stage together when interpreting these words. A strong aroma can be a desired varietal trait, but it should not be used to dismiss deterioration in a fruit past its best stage.
