Grown on small family farms, California Cling Peaches are hand-picked at the peak of ripeness and packed just miles away from the orchard with 24 hours of harvest. This means flavor, vitamins and nutrients are all locked in – making for a better tasting and more nutritious peach!
California Cling Peaches make cooking and baking a breeze. All of the work is done for you! Perfectly ripened, California sun-kissed peaches have been washed, peeled, pitted, cut, cooked and preserved to be used when you need them. Think about how much time you can save the next time you want to whip up a homemade peach crumble! And the best part of canned peaches? Consistency. You always know you’ll get the best of the best when you open up a can of California Cling Peaches.
