OW Nectarines There are a multitude of varieties that we select for our OrchardWord Nectarine line. Carefully chosen by our experts as some of the best, we have simply allowed them to ripen so that they reach you for that perfect eating experience. We have listed a few below together with a little information on their subtle differences: Luciana This plentiful blossoming variety that dons a radiant deep red skin and yellow flesh, has a sweet but subtle acidic flavour, intense aromas, and is large in size. Originating from France, this firm variety proves very robust which is perfect for the supply chain. Arctic Star The name ‘Arctic Star’ derives from its unique snow-white flesh.  With a reliable and plentiful harvest just at the start of summer,  this provides a lustrous red skin and an incredible tantalising sweet and juicy taste. Alpine A beautiful red variety exposing a yellow flesh that when initially bitten in to is firm, but then almost feels like it melts on your tongue. Originating from South Africa, this sweet, juicy variety enjoys growing in the sheltered valleys between the mountains.
