Charentais Melon

Charentais Melon

EverydayFresh

Charentais melon is a prized French heirloom variety known for its intensely sweet, floral aroma and vibrant orange flesh. Smaller and more fragrant than common cantaloupes, it features a smooth, gray-green rind that develops golden cracks when fully ripe. This melon provides significant vitamin A and C content alongside high water content for hydration, while its complex tropical fruit notes make it a gourmet choice for fresh fruit plates, desserts, or pairing with cured meats.
