“As the world’s top producer of fresh pineapples, Del Monte offers a wide range of options to suit consumer preferences, whether it’s a sweeter taste, sustainability benefits, or a versatile range of sizes,” said Melissa Mackay, Fresh Del Monte’s Vice President of Marketing, North America. “Our new Precious Honeyglow delivers everything that people love about Del Monte Honeyglow pineapples, such as its extra sweet taste and distinct color, in a compact single-serving size.”

Precious Honeyglow is the latest in the company’s line of Honeyglow® pineapples, which offer a distinctly sweeter taste than traditional pineapples. Grown at specialty farms in Costa Rica, Del Monte Honeyglow pineapples are left to mature and ripen naturally on the plant for a few extra days, resulting in an extra sweet taste and radiant golden hue, a press release stated.

This is the most compact pineapple in Del Monte history, weighing between 1.5 and 2 pounds. The product is designed to offer consumers more choices in the variety and size of their fresh whole pineapple, to suit taste preferences and reduce food waste as single-person households continue to rise.

Fresh Del Monte offers fresh pineapples in different varieties and sizes to provide consumers with a broad range of options such as fruit size or desired sweetness. This lineup includes the Del Monte Gold® Extra Sweet Pineapple, available in multiple sizes including the Grandissimo Gold® grand pineapple; Honeyglow pineapples; the proprietary PINKGLOW® pineapple; and Del Monte Zero™ Carbon Neutral Pineapples.

As with all Del Monte pineapples and other Fresh Del Monte products, Precious Honeyglow pineapples use sustainable practices for planting, harvesting, and transporting, a press release stated.
