Delicately sweet, these Roland white peach halves are packed in sugar and water, the old fashioned way, with NO corn syrup, so the natural flavor of the peaches shines thru. (About six halves per can.) They are perfect right out of the can, or try making upside down cake with them (instead of pineapple) adding a touch of cinnamon. Wonderful! A great Summertime lunch, too, served with reduced fat cottage cheese. We also make individual luncheon treats by adding one peach half to a half cup pyrex bowl of lemon Jello, then unmold round side up for each guest. (Garnish with fresh mint.) Highest quality - you won't be disappointed!

Being white peaches, the flavor is muted but it is still delicious! Each can has about ~4 whole peaches sliced in half. They are packed in light syrup which is not great but may be necessary to preserve the terrific really ripe yet firm peach quality. This is a great way to spice up a cake topping or ice cream or just to eat by themselves. Roland does a great job preserving their fruit (forget their vegetables though) with all their great flavors. The cans sit in your cabinet waiting for when you need them, not for when they sit rotting in your refrigerator because you did not use them within their limited time span. I will be buying these again......they truly are delicious!

I bought a box of these canned white peach halves because they were on sale with a very good discount, and because the chances of ever finding fresh white peaches (which I understand don't ship or keep well at all) in my local farmer's market is next to nil, so this seemed like my best chance to try this fruit. As others have noted, these peach halves are packed in syrup, rather than juice, which is not normally my preference, but otherwise I have no complaints at all.

The white peaches seem to have a much more delicate flavor than the robust yellow peaches we're all more used to, but they're a lovely appetizer or dessert on their own.

I will confess, though, that my favorite way to serve these has been to empty an entire can (syrup and all) into a covered glass bowl, toss in a handful of frozen red raspberries, and let them sit in the refrigerator together for an hour or a day until I'm ready to serve them for dessert. The raspberry flavor nicely complements the white peach flavor, and the peach halves and their syrup take on a gorgeous range of dark pink to lavender to plum shades of purple. Tasty AND pretty to eat (and even with the syrup, still more nutritious than most desserts of comparable appeal, I'd argue).

And if you warmed the white peach and raspberry combo slightly and served it with scoops of vanilla ice cream, you could call it a lazy cook's version of Peach Melba. But I think the ice cream is unnecessary, myself, and enjoy a cold dessert that requires no cooking whatsoever, now that daytime temperatures are back in the upper 80's.

These did not taste like other canned white peaches I've had before. It had a slight metallic taste from the can.

It has arrived badly damaged. Only two cans in the center of the box were in good condition. The box was so flimsy that has arrived tattered, and the post office taped it all around the box. I was disappointed because it's hard to find white peach can.

I have not tasted the product but am extremely dissatisfied with Amazon. Such shoddy merchandise should be an embarrassment to the company. ALL the cans, not just one or two were dented (and we're not talking about aesthetic nicks here). How can Amazon send out such low quality items? I will not be ordering this product again. Unacceptable.

I've eaten FRESH white peaches in the past. This is my first time tasting them canned. These taste more like canned pears; firm minus the grit texture. Actually I thought I had grabbed the wrong can from the pantry and went to the trash to verify these were actually peaches. Not sure I'd buy these again.

White peaches are my favorite during the summer!
I love canned peaches during the winter, usually. This brand of fruit was the most DISGUSTING I have ever had the misfortune to attempt to eat.

As soon as my shipment arrived I opened a can and poured it into a bowl. So far so good. Then me and my daughter ate some. We both looked at each other with an odd look. Ok, maybe the first bite is a little off. So I try another bite, yuck.

I checked the side of another can to see why these peaches would taste so funny. The ingredients state: white peach halves, water, sugar. Packed exclusively for American Roland food Corp. New York, NY 10010. Product of China

Peaches, water, and sugar can't possibly taste this nasty! The texture of the liquid has an unusual viscosity to it for light syrup. This produces an odd mouth feel after the second bite, can't exactly explain it. Something is just off.

Based on the other reviews that are favorable I will give the rest of the box (11 more cans left) to the next can food collection, maybe someone else will enjoy them.

My review: YUCK, NASTY!
