Charentais Melon
Charentais Melon is the legendary French melon from the Charente region — the petite, smooth, ribbed fruits are considered by many chefs and food writers to be the finest melon in the world, with an intoxicating floral fragrance and an almost impossibly rich, sweet, salmon-orange flesh that defines what a melon can be. Served simply at room temperature, halved and seeded, with nothing more than a sliver of prosciutto alongside, Charentais is one of summer's most sophisticated pleasures.
