Honeyglow® Pineapple
Choose options
Honeyglow® (Ananas comosus) — Del Monte's exclusive pineapple variety, grown in Costa Rica and air-freighted to the UK within 48 hours of harvest. What distinguishes Honeyglow® from a standard pineapple is how it is grown: the fruit is left to ripen on the plant for longer than conventional varieties, developing a noticeably higher sugar content and a characteristic golden colour that runs through both the shell and the flesh. The result is a pineapple that is ready to eat on arrival — no waiting for it to ripen on the kitchen counter.
The flavour is sweeter and more aromatic than a conventional pineapple, with less of the sharp acidity that can dominate underripe fruit. The flesh is bright golden-yellow, juicy and tender throughout. Honeyglow® production is limited — only select fields across Del Monte's Costa Rican farms where growing conditions are optimal are designated for the brand. Air-freighting rather than sea-shipping means the fruit arrives at peak condition rather than spending weeks in cold storage. Eat fresh, slice into fruit salads, blend into smoothies, or use in desserts and cocktails where the concentrated sweetness works to full effect.
