The Del Monte name was first used in the 1880's by an Oakland, California, foods distributor to designate a premium blend of coffee prepared especially for the elegant Hotel Del Monte on the Monterey peninsula. In 1892, the firm expanded its business and selected Del Monte as the brand name for its new line of canned peaches.
When eighteen West Coast canning companies merged in 1898 to form California Fruit Canners Association, Del Monte was one of several premium brands marketed by the new company. Then, in 1916, CFCA consolidated its business and the Del Monte brand took center stage. The new company's strategy was to offer one high-quality brand, advertise nationally, and distribute products across the country. Since this time, Del Monte has never wavered from this strategy, and today Del Monte continues to deliver the unsurpassed quality that has been a staple at American dinner tables for the last century.
