Pacific Trellis Fruit, home to the Dulcinea brand, introduced a new line of premium melons: Dulcinea Pure Perfection melons.
This collection of high-flavor, high-quality melons is designed to elevate the consumer eating experience with exceptional sweetness, texture and juiciness, according to a news release.

The Pure Perfection lineup will launch with three distinct varieties, available June through September:
- Pure Sweetness — An extra sweet cantaloupe-like variety celebrated for its incredibly juicy, soft, melt-in-your-mouth flavor.
- Pure Sunshine — A firm yet juicy honeydew-like melon offering a refreshing, smooth and sweet taste.
- Pure Crunch — An oblong Chinese Hami melon featuring a crisp, refreshing texture with hints of honey and pear.
“With consumers increasingly seeking out unique and delicious melon varieties,” said Josh Leichter, CEO of Pacific Trellis Fruit, “our new Pure Perfection melons offer a fresh, premium option that stands out on the shelf. We have already seen a positive response on the buy-side and look forward to the consumer feedback.”
The Dulcinea Pure Perfection melon line will be supported with high-graphic, eye-catching packaging, in-store merchandising support and a digital marketing campaign, the release said. Additionally, in-store sampling events and point-of-sale materials will help educate shoppers on the taste and texture of the Pure Perfection melon line, encouraging trial and repeat purchases. This comprehensive approach will highlight the melons’ exceptional quality, flavor and freshness, creating a premium consumer experience, the release said.
Beyond the launch of Pure Perfection melons, Pacific Trellis Fruit continues to offer a diverse and robust melon program. The company remains the innovator of the mini-seedless watermelon, PureHeart, and grows the full-size, seedless Sugar Daddy watermelon, both available in organic options. Other premium offerings include the Tuscan-style extra sweet cantaloupe and the SunnyGold yellow mini-seedless watermelon.
The company ships its mini-seedless and full-size watermelons year round from growing regions in Mexico, Arizona, California and Idaho, with an offshore program in Guatemala. Seasonal melon programs include the Tuscan-style, extra sweet cantaloupe and the SunnyGold yellow, seedless mini watermelon. The Tuscans will begin shipping from Arizona in May and California in July, whereas the SunnyGold will start in May from Mexico, moving to Arizona in June and California in July. The Dulcinea program will have a steady melon supply throughout the summer months, ripe for promotional opportunities.
