Fresh Del Monte Produce Inc., a global leader in vertically integrated fresh produce, is bringing a bold burst of tropical innovation to New York City this summer. The company announced its highly anticipated debut at the 2025 Summer Fancy Food Show, taking place June 29 through July 1 at the Jacob K. Javits Center. Visitors can find Fresh Del Monte at Booth #5013, where the company will spotlight its trendsetting pineapple portfolio, highlighting its unique and luxurious offerings that are redefining the fruit category.
With decades of industry experience, Fresh Del Monte has long been recognized as a pioneer in pineapple production, and its latest display is set to reaffirm that leadership. From vibrant specialty varieties to sustainability-driven practices, the company is making its mark at one of North America’s largest specialty food industry events.
A Showcase of Innovation and Taste
At the show, Fresh Del Monte aims to captivate the palates of chefs, retailers, foodservice professionals, and curious consumers with an exhibit that is as visually stunning as it is flavorful. The company is emphasizing not just taste and quality, but also sustainability and innovation—factors that are increasingly influencing purchasing decisions across the food and beverage landscape.
“The Summer Fancy Food Show is an ideal platform for sharing how Fresh Del Monte continues to lead the way in pineapple innovation,” said Danny Dumas, Senior Vice President, Sales, Marketing & Product Management at Fresh Del Monte. “We are excited to engage with culinary professionals, retail buyers, and food enthusiasts to demonstrate how our distinctive fruit offerings are responding to today’s dynamic market trends. Whether you’re searching for standout gift ideas, memorable menu items, or retail-ready solutions, our pineapple products are crafted to exceed expectations in both flavor and presentation.”
Star Attractions: A Diverse Pineapple Portfolio
Fresh Del Monte is bringing a full lineup of signature pineapple products to the event—each crafted to satisfy a different audience segment, from health-conscious shoppers to luxury consumers. Here’s a look at the show-stopping pineapples featured at the exhibit:
Rubyglow® Pineapple
The crown jewel of Fresh Del Monte’s showcase, the Rubyglow® Pineapple is a premium offering that blends rarity with visual drama. It’s a hybrid between a traditional pineapple and the deep red–skinned Morada variety, the latter typically considered inedible. The result is a stunning fruit encased in a vivid ruby-red skin with bright citrine-yellow flesh inside. With a smooth, tropical flavor and notably low acidity, Rubyglow® delivers a truly indulgent experience. Priced at an eye-popping $395, it is positioned as the ultimate in high-end fresh produce and appeals to gourmet connoisseurs and upscale gift-givers looking for a conversation-starting delicacy.
Pinkglow® Pineapple
This social media–famous fruit is another example of Fresh Del Monte’s ability to turn produce into a pop culture sensation. The Pinkglow® Pineapple features eye-catching pink flesh, a result of naturally occurring lycopene, a compound also found in tomatoes and watermelons. With its sweeter, less acidic taste, Pinkglow® appeals to modern palates and aligns with current trends toward unique, photogenic food. In a nod to sustainability, these pineapples are harvested without crowns to support replanting efforts and minimize agricultural waste.
Honeyglow® Pineapple
Sweetness is the hallmark of the Honeyglow® Pineapple, which is cultivated to remain longer on the plant, developing deeper sugars and a more intense flavor. Each fruit is hand-selected at peak ripeness and boasts a glowing golden shell, mirroring the richness within. Grown in Costa Rica on Sustainably Grown–certified farms by SCS Global Services, the Honeyglow® is an ideal option for consumers who care as much about where and how their food is grown as they do about its taste.
Del Monte Zero® Pineapple
Sustainability is no longer a luxury—it’s a necessity. With that in mind, Fresh Del Monte is introducing the Del Monte Zero® Pineapple, the company’s first carbon-neutral pineapple. Cultivated using practices that reduce greenhouse gas emissions and prioritize environmental stewardship, this variety represents a major milestone in Fresh Del Monte’s larger corporate sustainability goals. It’s designed for eco-minded consumers, retailers, and foodservice operators seeking to align with greener sourcing and supply chain practices.
Del Monte Gold® By Air
Freshness and logistics meet in the Del Monte Gold® By Air pineapple, which delivers exceptional flavor by reducing the time between harvest and shelf. These pineapples are handpicked and airfreighted within 48 hours, ensuring the product arrives at peak freshness and taste. This ultra-fast farm-to-fork journey is designed to meet the needs of high-end retailers and restaurants seeking the best possible product with minimal degradation of quality during transit.
Experience and Engagement at Booth #5013
In addition to showcasing its pineapple innovations, Fresh Del Monte will also provide interactive tastings and retail-readiness demonstrations at its booth. Attendees will have the opportunity to sample the latest fruit offerings, ask questions about sourcing and product development, and explore potential collaborations.
“We invite everyone—from gourmet grocers and e-commerce buyers to chefs and mixologists—to explore what makes our pineapple products not just fruit, but an experience,” added Dumas. “The goal is to illustrate how we’re elevating everyday produce into premium, culinary-forward offerings.”
Setting the Standard in Produce Excellence
Fresh Del Monte’s participation in the Summer Fancy Food Show underscores the brand’s commitment to staying at the forefront of consumer demand, sustainability, and food innovation. By introducing rare varieties and investing in eco-friendly growing methods, the company is both preserving tradition and embracing transformation.
This strategic move also positions Fresh Del Monte as more than a produce supplier—it signals its role as a culinary collaborator, brand storyteller, and agricultural innovator. With global distribution networks, certified sustainability initiatives, and premium product development, Fresh Del Monte is defining what the future of fruit can look—and taste—like.
