Bonjour! 

Yes, Charentais melon is of French origin, considered as a premium melon variety grown in Spain; Murcia and Alicante regions. 

They are smaller when compared to the mainstream melons. — typically weighing between from 1kg to 1.5kg.

When fully ripened, the texture becomes soft and melt-in-your-mouth. Prefer a bit of crunch and less sweetness? Enjoy it right after delivery for a firmer bite.

Naturally sweet and aromatic, this melon is perfect for gatherings or as a nutritious treat just for yourself.

Delicious on a charcuterie or cheese board, or paired with fresh mint. For a refreshing twist, try it in a salad with a splash of lime and a dash of chili powder.

Charentais is a different variety from Sugar Kiss melons.

Sugar Kiss is the grafted child of Charentais and Gaia melon varieties, in short, Charentais (the OG) is one of the "parents" of Sugar Kiss, which explains where the sweetness and strong aroma comes from. ;)
