Coral Gables, Florida-based Del Monte Fresh Produce N.A. has expanded its Pinkglow pineapple to select retailers in limited markets throughout Canada. The Pinkglow is a novel pineapple with a pink interior, exclusively grown by Fresh Del Monte and now available for retail.
Pinkglow pineapples are currently available in the U.S. and now have made their way up to the Great White North. Consumers can find Pinkglow pineapples at select retailers in Halifax, Montreal and Toronto.
This “Jewel of the Jungle” is produced in ultra-limited harvests, uniquely and specially grown by Fresh Del Monte and is found to be both juicier and sweeter than a traditional pineapple. With a unique taste, the Pinkglow pineapple boasts notes of candy aromatics.
“We are very excited to announce the retail expansion of Pinkglow pineapples to our consumers in Canada,” said Pablo Rivero, VP of marketing for Del Monte Fresh Produce, N.A. “As a result of high consumer demand and increased product availability, we decided to expand our distribution to make Pinkglow pineapples even more accessible to our Canadian shoppers. North American expansion is a key component of our growth strategy, so we look forward to providing these unique pineapples to a new consumer base and hope they love the product just as much as we do.”
Pinkglow pineapples, which have been in development since 2005, are grown on a select farm in Costa Rica and take up to 24 months to produce. They are harvested by hand with their crowns replanted to increase the volume of crops and reduce waste.
