Del Monte: real American-style canned fruits and vegetables!

Del Monte: a brand with history

The Del Monte story begins in 1886, when the name "Del Monte" was first used on a product: a premium coffee served at the prestigious Del Monte hotel in Monterey, California. The brand as we know it came to life a few years later, in 1892, and quickly made a name for itself with its canned peaches. Over the decades, Del Monte became one of the largest canned fruit and vegetable brands in the world, with a historic headquarters in San Francisco. A brand full of history, delighting American families for over a century.

Did you know Del Monte popularized the extra-sweet pineapple?

In 1996, Del Monte introduced the famous "Gold Extra Sweet" pineapple, a particularly juicy, sweet variety that would become a worldwide benchmark. The brand grows its pineapples and bananas in Central America, and has even earned sustainable-farming certifications for its flagship products. Proof that you can combine indulgence and quality!

The Del Monte universe

Del Monte is above all a huge choice of canned goods: fruit in syrup (peaches, pineapple, fruit cocktails...), ready-to-use vegetables (corn, green beans, tomatoes...) and indulgent specialties. The Del Monte Foods group also owns other brands like Contadina, College Inn and S&W. A complete universe for cooking American-style with ease.

The most iconic product for US-flavor fans? The Sweet Corn Cream Style: a typically American specialty with a creamy texture, enjoyed both in savory dishes and as an indulgent side. A real taste of America!

How to cook with Del Monte canned goods?

Del Monte canned goods are the allies of quick, tasty cooking. The cream-style corn turns into a delicious cornbread, a velvety soup or a creamy side. The fruit in syrup elevates a quick dessert, tops a cheesecake or goes with a scoop of ice cream. And the canned vegetables come to the rescue for a balanced dish in just a few minutes. Handy for bringing the flavors of America home, or discovering a typically US product!
