Al-Dawaah – Gato Papaye 60g

Al-Dawaah Gato Papaye is a rare Mauritian delicacy, crafted in the traditional way from winter melon (ash gourd), despite its name. The gourd is carefully treated, then slowly simmered in sugar syrup until it forms a firm, crystallised texture. Sweet, delicate, and full of heritage, it’s a nostalgic treat that reflects the island’s unique confectionery traditions.
