Unreliable.
The first set I got were initially hard but sweet, each improving over the next few days, The next lot apart from one being bashed, looked the part but the flesh was pale, pappy and definitely not sweet. A premium product needs to be reliable and this isn't therefore I won't be taking the risk and buying them again.
The nectarines can be quite hard and dry

Sour
Sour. Not sweet at all. Very disapointing.
Not sweet at all. They should be called supersour
Not sweet at all. They should be called supersour nectarines.
Bricks
Like a brick. By the time they had soft bits they'd gone off> Never again.
Too early in the season, forget it
Breaches trade description act, as the one I received were NOT ripe and never did ripen, just go soft. Clearly picked too early as the stone inside would not separate from the flesh
Not worth the money
very disappointed. hard and sour 1 of the 3 was damaged. will not buy again.
Not what it says on the Tin....
These are not sweet at all, let alone "super sweet". They look fine from the outside, but on the inside they are hard and sour. Probably picked green, and then just riped on the outside with nitrogen during the passage from South Africa to Europe.
Depends what you get - you really need to see them
I read the reviews and just had to chirp up in defence of white flesh nectarines. I'm a fruit fanatic and in the summer months I just about live on various stone fruit. I've tried all types of peach, apricot, nectarines, and I've found that the sweetest and most fragrant are always the white flesh ones, when you can find them! You really need to be in the store to see what you're getting, though. One tip - always pick nectarines (any fruit, really) with the centre stem end still intact if you can. This indicates that the fruit was ripe when picked (not wrenched off the tree or vine) and also, it means that oxygen can't get into the fruit via a tear where that stem stub should be, so it keeps longer. Underripe nectarines are sadly often sold in cheap multipacks and you'll find they rot very quickly from the torn empty stem. They're bullet hard and then suddenly rotten, no edible period! Best of luck finding nice ones, it's a lottery, but worth the search!
Not Sweet
Very disappointed! Not sweet at all.
