"According to Dole's announcement, the newly-released Colada Royale pineapple - the product of 15 years of research and development - features a taste with "distinct notes of coconut and piña colada." Dole officially shared this strain of pineapple to the world earlier this month, at the IFPA Global Produce and Floral Show. At the show in question, the pineapple received an award for the best promoted product at the event."
"As a pineapple breeder, I do much of my work quietly since it can take 10, 12 or even 15 years to create a new hybrid through natural processes - and only a very small percentage of the thousands we try ever make it to market," explained Roberto Young, PhD., who has been leading Dole's efforts to breed new varieties of fruit for the last 28 years. Young went on to refer to this new variety of pineapple as "my legacy.""
"In tandem with the announcement, Dole also shared a number of recipes featuring this particular pineapple, including one for a sparkling cocktail that also uses yuzu and pepper flavors. Besides the distinctive flavors of this variety of pineapple, Dole's announcement also notes that it has a significant increase in vitamin B6 over standard pineapples. There's one thing that the scientists and farmers at Dole have not revealed about this new strain of pineapple - namely, what it would taste like after being fermented on its own."

Dole showcased the strain at the IFPA Global Produce and Floral Show, where it won the best promoted product award. Roberto Young, PhD., led the breeding effort and called the new hybrid his legacy, noting that creating new hybrids can take a decade or more and most attempts do not reach market. Dole shared recipes using the pineapple, including a sparkling cocktail with yuzu and pepper. The variety also shows a significant increase in vitamin B6 and its fermented flavor remains unknown.
