The taste of a peach is heaven in your mouth. But only if it's a peach grown in the south. You have to be sure that it is ready to be savored. For a moist, ripened peach will always have more flavor. Use your hands to gently feel if it's soft and a little firm, so that when you get to taste it, the juice will start to run. With your fingers you can tell when it feels just right, and it also lets you know it's ok to take a bite. When you put it to your lips, like velvet it will feel, but when it's opened up, the sweetness is revealed.
