Melissa’s is expanding its premium fruit offerings with the debut of a new personal-size pineapple offering.
The new personal-size pineapple offerings is a joint project launched between Melissa’s and Fresh Del Monte. The new product will consist of mini Del Monte Precious Honeyglow pineapple, which is the most compact pineapple in Del Monte history – clocking in at about half the weight of a traditional fresh pineapple. The pineapples are grown in Costa Rica and are left to mature and ripen a little longer, which results in a golden hue and an extra sweet flavor profile. And lucky for consumers, they can enjoy Del Monte Precious Honeyglow year-round, thanks to exclusive shipping through Melissa’s.
Pineapple has been leading the way in the specialty fruit category and now it's more accessible to consumers than ever before.
