Introducing a rare sweet treat; Pinkglow® pink pineapples by Del Monte! Melissa’s pairs this crownless* pink-hued majestic wonder with a Chocolate Bridge Mix of nuts, caramels and dried fruit, and an award-winning 2019 Rosé of Pinot Noir by Sonoma-Cutrer.

The Pinkglow® pink pineapple has a delicious and unique taste, with notes of candy pineapple aromatics, which pairs perfectly with this Rosé from Russian River Valley. In the glass, the wine reveals a gorgeous, peony blush color and opens up to aromas of wild strawberry and pink grapefruit. On the palate, you will find the crisp flavor of watermelon, a hint of powdered sugar and just a slight glimmer of hibiscus tea.

Carefully crafted sugar-free milk and dark chocolate almonds and caramels, double-dipped macadamias, and milk chocolate cashews balance out this basket of indulgence.

This petite pink-hued pineapple is absolutely adorable! Imagine it as the centerpiece of a tropical fruit platter or as an edible decoration for a baby shower or wedding. Less acidic than other pineapples, Pinkglow® features an addictive cotton candy aroma and floral sweetness that lingers on your tastebuds. It tastes like how a vacation feels!

Pinkglow® Pineapples grow on certified carbon-neutral farms in South-Central Costa Rica, which has the ideal soil and climate for growing pineapples. Fresh Del Monte spent 16 years developing this variety and sustainable growing methods. Pineapple crowns are replanted to reduce waste and restart the growing cycle for the following season.

Gold Pineapples have superior taste compared to other common pineapple varieties. The exceptional flavor of the Gold Pineapple is due to its perfect balance of low acidity and sugar content ratio. The result? Excellent flavor in every bite. No wonder this spiky tropical fruit is considered the world’s best tasting pineapple.

When selecting a Gold Pineapple at the grocery store, choose one that has vibrant green leaves and a firm shell that yields slightly when squeezed. Let your nose lead the way; a distinctive pineapple aroma should be present. If you want the best of the bunch, go with the pineapple that feels the heaviest; this typically indicates water content and that a juicy flesh awaits.

How to cut a Gold Pineapple: Cut off the crown and base. Cut off the sides and trim the eyes. Cut into quarters. Slide down the triangular tip to remove the core. Slice in half lengthwise. Cut into chunks.
