Georgia produces more than 40 commercial varieties of peaches, which are divided into general categories - freestone, semi-free and clingstone.
When buying Georgia peaches look for a creamy gold to yellow under-color. The red or "blush" is an indication of variety rather than ripeness. The crease should be well defined and run from the stem end of the peach to the point. A peach should smell "peachy." A peach should be soft to the touch.
