Wir haben die Sonne für euch gepflückt.

Off to a sweet summer retreat.

Peaches and nectarines are a little like us humans – they may come from the same family, but they are still very different. Nevertheless, they have a few things in common, such as thriving in the sunny growing regions of Caspe and Murcia in Spain under the care of our experienced Master Growers, who are passionate about the juicy and sweet stone fruits.

“So that we can pick lots of delicious fruit in summer, we set up beehives in the plantations in spring. Then we let the insects fly diligently from flower to flower – and we are always very happy with their work,” laughs picker Carlos, looking at the tree with the many golden-yellow fruits.

For the peaches and nectarines to have an intense flavour, it is important that they have constant day and night temperatures during the harvest months from May to October. At night, the thermometer should not fall below 14 degrees Celsius.

Peaches and nectarines are post-ripening fruits. We therefore harvest them when they are ripe for picking. They develop their full flavour at home at room temperature. And it is when they yield slightly to a little light pressure and smell heavenly that they are ready to be your sweet summer treat.

By the way, you can snack on our peaches and nectarines all year round. In winter, for example, we pick them in South Africa.

Tips and special features

Always transport the fruit as gently as possible. They are very sensitive to pressure due to their high water content. Therefore, it is best to place them on top of your groceries and not to squeeze them on the way. If you want to skin the fruits for cooking or baking, it is best to blanch them. Simply immerse them briefly in boiling water, quench in cold water and the skin is easily removed.

Storage

If you want to store the post-ripening fruits a little longer, you should keep them in the refrigerator. At room temperature, they develop their full flavor after about a day, exude a wonderful fragrance and yield slightly to gentle pressure.
