The essential ingredient in Stripling's Peach Butter is the peaches that have helped to put Georgia on the map. With our official slogan, 'The Peach State,' this fruit enjoys an almost revered status. Although peaches were introduced here in 1571, they weren't shipped outside the South until the 1850s when Columbus planter Raphael Moses improvised and used champagne baskets to keep them from getting bruised. That random detail makes us hit upon the idea that our peach butter might go quite well with champagne and could turn any meal or snack into a much more celebratory event!
