Default Re: edible pineapple varieties

Today I bought a pineapple at the grocery store. The label says "Chiquita Gold Pineapple, product of Mexico". The fruit matches this description from U Florida extension:
Hilo: A compact 1–1.5 kg (2-3 lb) Hawaiian variant of Smooth Cayenne. The fruit is more cylindrical and produces many suckers but no slips.
Anyone else know better?
Thanks!
