About Plantação de Ananás dos Açores
Plantação de Ananás dos Açores refers to the traditional cultivation of pineapples on the Portuguese island of São Miguel in the Azores. Unlike tropical pineapples, Azorean pineapples are grown in greenhouses to protect them from the Atlantic climate, using natural farming techniques.
This unique production method results in a smaller, sweeter, and more aromatic pineapple compared to other varieties. The cultivation process takes around two years, from planting to harvest, ensuring the fruit's exceptional flavor and quality. Recognized as a regional delicacy, Ananás dos Açores is often used in gourmet cuisine and is protected by a Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) certification.
