Charentais Melon
It has a mouth watering aroma and a succulent honey-sweet taste. Charentalis is a type of true cantaloupe from Europe. What Americans call cantaloupes are actually muskmelons. Charentais have thin smooth skin with light green stripes that mature to a creamy yellow. The orange flesh is fine-textured, delightfully scented and very sweet. Plant in the spring, 1 to 14 days before the last frost or when soil temperatures begin to warm up.
The Melon Charentais, 'Cucumis melo', is the favourite melon in France.
