When are peaches in season?
Peach season in the Netherlands usually begins in June, sometimes as in May, and continues through September. During these months, local peaches are at their peak of ripeness and flavor, making them a delicious treat for fresh fruit lovers.
Although the Netherlands is not known as a traditional peach-producing country, there are some growers who successfully grow peaches in the warmer regions of the country, such as in the south. In addition, many peaches are imported from other European countries, such as Spain, Italy and France, to meet consumer demand.
During peach season is the perfect time to visit local farmers markets and fruit farms, where you can buy fresh, ripe peaches straight from the source. By supporting locally grown produce, you not only contribute to the local economy, but also enjoy the best flavors each season has to offer. So stop by your market to see if they have peaches! They are at their most delicious right now.

Pasta salads are always a good idea in the summer if you ask me. This pasta salad with burrata and peach is so delicious for several reasons. First of all, burrata. Do I need to say more? The creamy burrata contrasts beautifully with the sweet and juicy peaches. Add in the salty ham and sweet honey (or agave syrup) and you have a little bit of everything! For crunch, I add some pistachios, but you could also use croutons, for example. This are very tasty.
