Honeyglow Pineapple is a new pineapple variety that the Del Monte company, a leader in the production and marketing of pineapples in the world, has just added to its catalog.
This new pineapple will be marketed in calibers 5-6, with a coloration level that ranges between 3 and 4, and a minimum of 12 degrees brix. Its production will be limited, but it will be available 52 weeks a year and it will be sent by sea.
"Consumers today demand healthy and tasty products that are easy to consume and that are produced in a sustainable manner that is friendly to the environment. Del Monte Fresh's new reference, the Honeyglow ™ Pineapple, meets all these requirements while maintaining its competitiveness in cost by being shipped by sea," stated Gianpaolo Renino, Del Monte's vice president for Europe and Africa.
"Since Del Monte's pineapples are cultivated in the Pacific and the Atlantic areas of Costa Rica, they can be available at the points of sale 52 weeks a year, maintaining a maximum consistency in their aroma, texture, sweetness and color characteristics," stated the vice president.
The new reference comes from Del Monte farms, which are managed in a sustainable manner under the supervision and advice of SCS Global Services, the entity responsible for verifying that the agricultural activity respects the environment. The Honeyglow ™ Pineapple was awarded the Kingfisher eco-label from the Sustainably Grown Standard.
"Del Monte is recognized throughout the world as a brand that can be trusted and that has a superior quality. In addition, Del Monte pineapples are consolidating themselves as a reference within their category. The launch of the Honeyglow Pineapple reaffirms our leadership position and reinforces our strategy of differentiating the pineapples from our product line," said Gianpaolo Renino.
