Tips from the author
The Charentais melon is an aromatic and sweet melon variety popular in France. It's also known as cantaloupe or rockmelon in other countries. Here are some tips to select a ripe melon: the overall colour of the rind should be creamy yellow, not green and it should have a musky and sweet fragrance.
