Fresh Del Monte Brings Summer’s Hottest Fruit to 2025 Summer Fancy Food Show

Fresh Del Monte Produce Inc., one of the world’s leading vertically integrated producers, marketers, and distributors of high-quality fresh and fresh-cut fruit and vegetables, today announced its debut at the Summer Fancy Food Show (Booth #5013), in New York City from June 29 to July 1.

“Summer Fancy Food Show offers a tremendous opportunity for discovering how Fresh Del Monte is pushing the boundaries of pineapple innovation, and we look forward to sharing why consumers all over the world are clamoring for our on-trend, delicious fruit,” states Danny Dumas, Senior Vice President, Sales, Marketing & Product Management of Fresh Del Monte. “Whether you’re looking to enhance a retail business, find distinctive gifts or create memorable menus, our wide assortment of unique and flavorful pineapple products lead the category and are designed to meet the needs of today’s ever-changing culinary landscape in a sustainable way while addressing consumers’ evolving taste preferences.”

The company will showcase the following products, which appeal to health-minded consumers, gift-givers and foodies alike:

  • Rubyglow® Pineapple is the most exclusive pineapple Fresh Del Monte has ever brought to market — a cross between a traditional pineapple and the deep red–skinned Morada variety, which is typically inedible. The visually stunning fruit features a deep red outer shell and citrine-yellow flesh that offers a smooth, tropical flavor with low acidity. Retailing at $395, it represents the pinnacle of luxury in fresh produce.
  • The popular, trend-right Pinkglow® Pineapple features a unique, pink-hued flesh, resulting from the presence of lycopene, a natural pigment also found in tomatoes and watermelons. It offers a sweeter, less acidic taste compared to traditional pineapple and is harvested without their crowns to promote sustainable replanting practices.
  • Honeyglow® Pineapple is an extra sweet pineapple that ripens more slowly on the stem and is hand-harvested at peak sweetness. Grown in Costa Rica on Sustainably Grown-certified farms by SCS Global Services, each pineapple features a distinctive honey-colored shell that matches its golden goodness within.
  • The carbon neutral Del Monte Zero® Pineapple represents the company’s commitment to sustainability, grown using practices aimed at minimizing environmental impact and supporting broader goals of reducing carbon emissions and promoting sustainable agriculture.
  • Del Monte Gold® By Air delivers extra sweet pineapples that are airfreighted within 48 hours after having being quality selected and handpicked, to ensure maintaining the superior quality and ultimate freshness, from farm to fork.

Fresh Del Monte invites fruit lovers, retailers, and industry partners attending Summer Fancy Food Show to visit booth #5013 for a closer look at its retail-ready and foodservice offerings, enjoy complimentary tastings, and discuss potential partnerships.
