A good slice of sunshine on the menu: pineapple brings freshness, sweetness and colour to the plate. Whether on pizza or in desserts - it adds a fruity component to familiar dishes and gives them that certain extra flavour. And the guests? They are happy to help themselves.
Our Adria pineapple slices are always a good choice in the busy everyday catering business: juicy, lightly sugared, evenly sliced - and ready for immediate use. They can be neatly portioned and ensure a uniform appearance - from the first plate to the last.
Adria pineapples therefore stand for uncomplicated processes in the kitchen and for varieties that sell reliably.
In the late 17th century, the pineapple was a real status symbol. Brought to Europe from Guadeloupe, the fruit was considered a rare luxury item and was presented as a showpiece. Today, the "Smooth Cayenne" variety in particular plays a central role in processing. It is mainly grown in Thailand, Indonesia and Kenya and is characterised by its intense flavour and balanced acidity. A distinction is made between the "Standard", "Choice" and "Fancy" qualities depending on the degree of ripeness. The degree of sweetness is measured by the Brix value - lightly sugared goods are usually 14 - 17 Brix and ensure a balanced ratio of fruit and sweetness.
