'Charentais' is the melon grown in 'melon country' all over the south of France, particularly in Provence around the town of Cavaillon, the melon capital of the country. This archi-classic cantaloupe has bright orange, sugary, succulent flesh with a rich essence-of-melon perfume. Ideal in desserts and as an accompaniment to Parma ham. Pinch the stems for earlier fruiting, and, for better flavor, avoid irrigating as the fruits ripen.

I planted this and the Charentais. Possibly D'Alger suffered from the comparison, since Charentais was far and away the most delicious melon I've tasted.

Makes for an interesting color/texture in the melon patch, but I wouldn't plant it again..
