Nothing says “summer” better than the juice of a fresh peach running down your chin! Perhaps the most celebrated of BC’s soft fruits is the peach, which has grown in the Okanagan since the 1890s. With all soft fruits thriving in heat, the southern Okanagan orchards are ideal growing conditions. This area is one of the few regions in the world this far north that successfully grows peaches. Traditionally, you’ll see peaches in jams, jellies and pies but we like to mix our tree ripened peaches with craft beer and jalapenos for a winning combination. Serve it with some taco chips and you’ll still have it running down your chin.

About Taste of the Okanagan

Founded in 1995, Taste of the Okanagan Specialty Foods Inc, is a family run business based in Kelowna, BC, the heart of the Okanagan Valley. They make salsas, chutneys, sauces, dips, salad dressings and more the old fashioned way, by hand, in small batches so they can ensure flavour, quality and most of all… TASTE! They use the finest fruits, berries and veggies grown in the Okanagan Valley, picked at their freshest. They don’t put “JUNK” in their jars! They use no preservatives, no additives and no food colourings, so their taste is home grown, just like Grandma used to make when she was in the kitchen instead of on the Golf Course.
