Cantaloupe

April — September

Spain – a top supplier in Europe

A round-shaped melon with a netted or lightly ribbed rind and orange flesh. It has a stronger aromatic flavour than yellow melon, but is more sensitive in logistics and has a shorter shelf life.

Spain is a key supplier of cantaloupe/Charentais to EU markets in summer. Main regions of production in Andalucía (early season), Murcia (early and mid-season), and Castilla-La Mancha (mid-late season).
