복숭아 '클링 풀라'

The flesh has that perfect balance of sweetness and acidity, and the golden color is beautiful. These peaches are firm enough to slice without falling apart, exactly what I wanted for baking.

Picked up a box of these for a taste of old-fashioned flavour, and the texture is perfect—firm enough to slice cleanly but not woody. The sweet richness makes them wonderful for baking, just as the 1914 catalogue promised.

The firm golden flesh held its shape beautifully when I sliced it, and the rich flavour came through exactly as the heritage listing promised. It's the kind of peach that makes you understand why people kept growing this variety for over a century.
