Exciting New Piña Colada Pineapple from Dole
Dole Food Company, known for its fresh produce, has introduced a new pineapple that is sure to delight piña colada fans.
After years of research and development, Dole has launched Colada Royale pineapple, a unique variety with green and gold skin and a creamy interior. This pineapple offers a tropical taste experience with hints of coconut and piña colada, making it a game-changer in the fresh fruit category.
Not only does the Colada Royale pineapple taste amazing, but it also packs a nutritional punch. It contains two and a half times more vitamin B6 than a regular Dole pineapple, promoting brain, nervous system, and immune health. According to Bil Goldfield, Dole’s director of communications, this pineapple is designed to provide a premium experience for all consumers, regardless of income level.
As consumers increasingly seek tropical flavors and unique taste experiences, premium pineapples like the Colada Royale and Fresh Del Monte’s Pinkglow pineapples have been in high demand.
