Our Product
The pineapple, a fruit venerated in various cultures as ananá, ananás, or matzatli, belongs to the distinguished family of bromeliads and originated in South America. It is characterized by its modest height plant equipped with hard and lanceolate leaves that can reach up to a meter in length, producing a single fruit annually. Distinguished by its aroma and sweetness, it has become a valued ingredient in global gastronomy.
Our pineapple cultivation is specifically located in the fertile region of Pital de San Carlos in the north of Costa Rica, an area recognized for its optimal climate and rich soils that are ideal for the development of superior quality fruits. The pineapples we produce here are distinguished by their remarkable sweetness and juicy texture, which is a testament to our commitment to sustainable cultivation practices and deep respect for the environment.
