Product description

Yellow melon is the fruit that concludes a summer lunch in Sicily. 🍈 Yellow, smooth skin, light and crunchy flesh, and a fragrance that can be smelled even before cutting it.

It grows in the island's sunny countryside and is harvested only when fully ripe, not before: melon does not ripen further once picked, so either it's ready when harvested or it never will be. Long hours of sun and cool nights are what develop its sweetness.

What it's like

  • Light, crunchy, and sweet flesh
  • Yellow, smooth skin, without netting
  • Intense aroma when ripe
  • Grown and harvested in Sicily

How to use it

  • 🍈 Sliced: fresh, at the end of a meal or as a snack
  • 🥓 With cured meats: the classic summer pairing
  • 🥤 Smoothies and juices: on its own or with lemon
  • 🍨 Sorbets and fruit salads: it adapts well to cold preparations

📅 Season: summer. Sold by the kilo.

🚚 We harvest upon order and ship within 24 hours.

Product storage

Whole melon can be stored at room temperature, in a cool place away from direct sunlight, for four or five days. If you put it in the refrigerator immediately, it will stop smelling, so it's best to chill it only a couple of hours before serving.

Once cut, it should be refrigerated, covered with plastic wrap, and consumed within two days. Covering it is important: cut melon will transfer its smell to everything around it.

Wash the rind before cutting it, because the knife will carry whatever is on the outside to the inside.
