Fresh Del Monte Gold® Extra Sweet Pineapples are airfreighted within 48 hours from Kenya after being selected and handpicked, to ensure maintaining the superior quality and ultimate freshness, from farm to fork. The pineapples are carefully selected and handpicked at the Del Monte Plantation in Kenya when at optimal ripeness to guarantee the best tasting experience while they are SCS (Sustainably Grown certified). They are packed into a specifically designed corrugated carton, in a vertical position, separated by a divider to guarantee maximum protection.
