A Tropical Masterpiece, 15 Years in the Making

Say hello to Colada Royale™, a pineapple like no other. Developed exclusively by Dole over 15 years through conventional breeding, this completely non-GMO pineapple variety redefines tropical indulgence. Crafted for those who appreciate the finer things, Colada Royale™ offers a unique flavor experience that elevates every bite.

Sweet. Tangy. Totally Unexpected.

Colada Royale™ is a revelation for the senses, a pineapple reimagined for those who crave more than just sweetness. Each bite delivers a lush, full-bodied flavor that’s intensely sweet yet precisely balanced by a lively tropical tang. Delicate hints of natural coconut round out the experience, making every bite feel like an exotic getaway.

 
Lighter and brighter than your typical pineapple, its soft-golden color signals a more refined, delicate fruit that’s juicier, more aromatic, and bursting with complexity. With a smaller core for maximum edible fruit and 2.5x higher vitamin B6 than typical pineapple, Colada Royale™ is as nutritionally rich as it is indulgent. This is tropical fruit at its most elevated; crafted for both culinary creativity and everyday luxury.

Cultivated with Purpose

Colada Royale™ isn’t just grown, it’s nurtured with intention. Every pineapple is cultivated through Dole’s time-honored agricultural expertise, guided by a deep commitment to sustainability and community, an impact that reaches far beyond the field.  A portion of every purchase supports the development of a community center in La Ceiba, Honduras, providing education, healthcare, and vocational training to uplift the region where this extraordinary fruit begins its journey. With Colada Royale™, indulgence becomes purposeful. It’s a taste that satisfies your palate—and strengthens your connection to a greater good.

A Legacy of Excellence

Dole has been a leader in the pineapple category for more than 125 years, and Colada Royale™ represents the next chapter in that proud legacy. This one-of-a-kind variety is the result of focused research and natural breeding, led by Dr. Roberto Young and his team in La Ceiba, Honduras.

Dole’s long-standing commitment to innovation, sustainability, and fruit excellence comes to life in Colada Royale™.  Developed for today’s modern tastes, this pineapple™ reflects Dole’s expertise in striking the perfect balance of sweetness, acidity, and sensory experience. This spirit of progress and purpose traces back to Dole’s earliest roots, when James Dole helped introduce pineapple into the homes of millions. Colada Royale™ is a culmination of heritage, global agricultural leadership, and a vision for the future of tropical produce.
