Noir Des Carmes Melon
Noir Des Carmes is a historic French heirloom melon with an elegant culinary pedigree — a ribbed cantaloupe type with green skin that ripens to a warm orange-yellow, enclosing salmon-colored flesh with a refined, complex, honey-sweet flavor that combines the character of a classic French melon with the approachability of more modern domesticated varieties. Named for the Carmelite monks who cultivated it for centuries, this is a melon with genuine history and genuine flavor to justify its devoted following.
