COLADA ROYALE PINEAPPLE

SHORT BIO

With the launch of Dole Colada Royale, Dole Food Co. redefines what’s possible in the legacy pineapple category.

Colada Royale delivers a new, elevated pineapple experience that blends exceptional flavor, natural breeding innovation, and social impact in one product. The Colada Royale represents the culmination of more than 15 years of research and development by Dole’s agricultural and R&D teams. Developed through traditional, non-GMO breeding methods, the variety was engineered to deliver a completely new flavor experience without relying on genetic modification or artificial enhancement. Colada Royale is immediately identifiable by its lighter, cream-colored flesh, a visual cue that hints at its uniqueness. Each fruit is hand-selected for ripeness on Dole’s historic La Ceiba farm in Honduras.

The real surprise, however, is in the taste. Colada Royale’s flavor is naturally sweet with subtle coconut undertones, evoking the tropical smoothness of a piña colada. Nutritionally, Colada Royale offers the same benefits that consumers expect from pineapples — rich in vitamin C, manganese, dietary fiber, and more than 2.5x the levels of B6. Dole has designed a limited-release model for Colada Royale, with controlled distribution at select U.S. retailers.
