Aromatic, delightfully rich and luxurious experience
Simply classifying a Charentais melon as a gourmet French melon isn't enough to describe the aromatic, delightfully rich and downright luxurious experience that comes from consuming them - or even just smelling them. Originated in the 1920s in the Poitou-Charentes region of western France, the Charentais was developed as a refined melon.The flavor speaks volumes about the skill and patience of French growers almost 100 years ago.
- Because Charentais need some TLC to avoid bruising and cannot easily be shipped long distances, few groceries carry them and large-scale farms usually don't grow them.
Tasty and particular fruit
Grapefruit-sized, they will have a cream-colored skin with dark green sutures when ripe. Slice one open to find a deep orange hue with a small, easily removable seed pocket in the center of the fruit.
- Their pulp is firmer and richer than the average melon and the flavor is practically unsurpassed: sweet, with a uniform but unobtrusive musky note and a soft texture.
- This complexity makes Charentais an ideal melon to combine with other ingredients.
- The size of the Charentais makes them the perfect melon for two to share or enjoy thoroughly. Choose them mainly based on their smell: the richer their aroma, the richer their taste.
- Sometimes the most ripe and ready-made Charentais melons will have small cracks on the ends of the flowers, where the flavor could no longer be contained.
