Del Monte Peach Halves

Del Monte is one of the world's most recognizable food brands, specializing in canned fruits and vegetables. The brand originated in the United States in the late 19th century and became a household name for high-quality preserved produce.

Ownership of the Del Monte brand is complex and varies by region. For the European, Middle Eastern, and African markets, the brand is owned by Fresh Del Monte Produce Inc. In other regions like North America or parts of Asia, different independent entities like Del Monte Pacific or Del Monte Foods (owned by Del Monte Pacific) hold the rights. Production typically takes place in various countries including Greece, South Africa, and the United States, depending on the fruit's seasonal availability and the local regional distributor's supply chain.
