CHARENTAIS MELON
Origin: France / Morocco
Season: June - October
The celebrated Charentais melon is the jewel of French cantaloupe varieties, distinguished by its beautifully ribbed, pale green to golden skin and intensely fragrant orange flesh. Our expert buyers source these premium fruits from their optimal growing regions throughout the year to ensure perfect ripeness and flavour.
These exceptional melons deliver an extraordinarily concentrated sweetness with distinctive floral notes and a heady perfume that fills the room when cut. Their smooth, succulent flesh offers the perfect balance of sugars and subtle acidity, with a depth of flavour that makes them a staple of fine European dining.
Enjoy chilled, halved and served with a splash of dessert wine for a classic French dessert. Alternatively, wrap thin slices in prosciutto for an elegant appetiser, or blend into chilled summer soups and sorbets for refreshing seasonal dishes.
Producer: Sourced from specialist melon growers who select only perfectly ripened fruits, harvested at their aromatic peak when the characteristic sweet scent develops at the stem end—a sign of optimal maturity.
Net: 800g± (individual melon)
