Charentais Melons are a French heirloom melon that's popularity has spread across the world, and sometimes known as a French cantaloupe. Charentais Melon's rind is thin, smooth, and hard, ranging in color from grey-green to pale green, showcasing mottled dark green striping that extends from the stem to the blossom end. Underneath the surface, the pale orange flesh is dense, semi-aqueous, and succulent with a firm but tender consistency. These melons have a very sweet flavor followed by a pleasant, soft floral aftertaste.
