Georgia produces the best peaches and called "The Peach State" because the peaches are so juicy and sweet. There are many varieties of peaches with two common types: yellow peaches and white peaches. Yellow peaches have yellow flesh while white peaches have white flesh. The skin is usually reddish in color. For this recipe, use yellow peaches for a nice, yellow and golden color. They are also categorized into freestone peach vs. clingstone peach. Choose freestone peaches as the pit doesn't cling to the flesh, which is ideal for this recipe.
