- Pro: The natural juice provides a clean flavour, perfect for both sweet and savoury recipes.
- Consideration: While convenient, the 820g tin may be too small for very high-volume event catering.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Salty Siren Bistro in Whitby, North Yorkshire, wanted to perfect their classic pub dishes while introducing a new tropical dessert menu. They needed a high-quality pineapple that was consistent in size and taste, without the daily hassle and waste of preparing fresh fruit.
"Switching to the Del Monte canned pineapple slices was a brilliant move. We know exactly what we're getting in every tin. The slices are perfect for our gammon, and the natural juice is fantastic for creating syrups for our new rum-soaked pineapple cake. Our customers have noticed the quality."
Mark Jennings – Head Chef
The change ensured complete menu consistency and reduced fruit prep time by over 15%, allowing the kitchen team to focus on service during the busy tourist season.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Getting It Ready
- Use the easy-pull ring to open the can safely and quickly, avoiding sharp edges.
- For best results in recipes, you may wish to drain the slices, but don't discard the juice! It's perfect for marinades, smoothies, or cocktail mixers.
- Once opened, transfer any unused pineapple and juice into a non-metallic, airtight container.
- Store the opened container in the refrigerator and use within 3-4 days for optimal freshness.
Keeping It Perfect
- Store unopened cans in a cool, dry place like a pantry or storeroom, away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
- Practice good stock rotation (First-In, First-Out) to ensure you're always using the freshest stock.
- Before opening, always give the can a quick wipe and check the best-before date.
- Avoid using cans that are dented, rusted, or bulging, as this can indicate a compromise in the product's safety.

Explore more from Del MonteWhy 'In Juice' Makes All the Difference
Ever wondered about the real difference between fruit canned 'in juice' versus 'in syrup'? Think of it like a painter's canvas. Pineapple packed in heavy syrup comes pre-loaded with intense sweetness, which can overpower the natural fruit flavour and dictate the final taste of your dish. It’s a one-trick pony.
However, the Del Monte pineapple slices in juice 820g are packed in their own natural juices. This preserves the authentic, tangy-sweet flavour of the pineapple itself. For a chef, this is a huge advantage. It gives you a clean, natural base, allowing you to control the exact level of sweetness in your recipe. You can use it in a savoury stir-fry, a tangy glaze for pork, or a delicate dessert, all without fighting against a pre-existing wall of sugar. It’s all about giving you, the creator, complete control over your final masterpiece.
