The Del Monte name has been synonymous with premium foods since its debut in 1886. For generations, our company has proudly earned our reputation with a series of innovations and a singular dedication to quality.

Today that commitment to quality is deeply embedded in our culture. At Del Monte, we will always strive to cultivate the best garden quality® vegetables, fruits, and tomatoes to help you and your family live a life full of vitality and enjoyment.

At Del Monte, we’re passionate about cultivating quality vegetables, fruits, and tomatoes. We grow with care on farms, many of which have been with us for generations, and preserve the wholesome goodness you’d expect from your own backyard garden.

Our tasty, nutritious produce is grown on a community of farms across the U.S. In the San Joaquin Valley, summer approaches with the promise of fat, juicy peaches. While out around Plover, Wisconsin, green bean fields stretch to the horizon. And in Blue Earth County – that’s in Minnesota – the corn is growing up so sweet, we never have to add sugar.

About 95% of the food we produce is grown on farms in the USA and it travels, on average, less than 100 miles from farm to manufacturing gate. We also partner with our growers on a variety of programs to yield healthy, productive crops while minimising our impact to the earth’s resources.

For example, since 1923, our seed programme has allowed us to develop varieties that require less water and fewer pesticides to produce. Our new Blue Lake® green bean varieties, along with innovative growing practices, have increased yields by nearly 200%. That’s super planet-friendly because we’re helping conserve land, water and energy.

With support programmes like these, it’s no wonder that some farmers have been growing Del Monte fruits and vegetables for 40 years – and many farms have been with us for four, even five generations.

Many of our farms have been with us for four, even five generations. “Growing crops for Del Monte is really a partnership. It’s a longtime effort,” says Steve Balling, our Director of Agriculture and Corporate Responsibility.

At the root of everything great is a simple yet powerful idea. For Del Monte, that idea is our commitment to Cultivating Quality – growing the best garden quality vegetables, fruits and tomatoes that provide taste and nutrition to help people lead their best lives.

We offer about 200 products from almost 40 different types of healthful fruits, vegetables and tomatoes, and nearly 95% of our tasty, nutritious produce is grown in the United States in the best growing regions. It’s just one of the ways we ensure the consistent quality of our foods.

Del Monte fruits, vegetables, and tomatoes are also picked at the peak of ripeness, and the majority of our produce gets packed on the same day – 95% of it without preservatives. Our canning process locks in the delicious flavor along with the vitamins, antioxidants and other essential nutrients.

In fact, Del Monte fruits, vegetables, and tomatoes contain similar nutrients as fresh when prepared for the table. Studies have even shown that in some instances, such as with peaches and tomatoes, canned contains even more antioxidants and vitamins than fresh. Additionally, Del Monte provides more No-Sugar-Added fruit products and No-Salt-Added or Reduced-Sodium vegetable products than any other national brand.
