Colade Royale: Dole’s brain-enhancing pineapple bred to taste like a piña colada arrives in grocery stores next month

For pineapple lovers, a new chapter in tropical indulgence is about to unfold. … Consumers and food enthusiasts are buzzing with curiosity as a fresh option is set to hit produce aisles in October 2025, promising a luxurious twist on a classic favorite.

…

The star of the season is Dole’s new Colada Royale™ Pineapple, developed through 15 years of traditional breeding techniques. [Grown] with care at Dole’s oldest Latin American farm in La Ceiba, Honduras, it offers a lighter golden exterior and creamy interior. Its most striking feature is a flavor reminiscent of piña coladas, with subtle hints of coconut that balance sweetness with a tropical tang.

Beyond taste, the Colada Royale™ delivers nutritional benefits that set it apart. Each serving provides 2.5 times more vitamin B6 than typical pineapple, supporting brain and immune health, aiding metabolism and contributing to overall vitality.
