500137

The subtle, crisp freshness of Spanish varieties for your buffets and daily menus. The green melon, often known as the Piel de Sapo melon ("toad skin"), is a summer variety highly prized by chefs and caterers for its exceptional resilience and delicate sweetness. Beneath its robust, rough, dark green marbled rind, it hides a remarkably fine, greenish-white flesh that is incredibly juicy, tender, and sweet when ripe. This fruit offers catering professionals optimal yield and precise portioning. It's the essential freshness asset to diversify your fruit offerings and add a touch of originality to your menus. Professional uses and storage: ► Culinary applications: Its dense flesh and excellent shelf life make it a preferred product for meticulous presentations and event catering. It's the perfect partner for fine charcuterie: sliced ​​thinly or cubed, it creates a masterful sweet and savory pairing with Serrano ham, pata negra, or cured lomo. In cold dishes, its texture lends itself perfectly to being cut into decorative balls to brighten up seasonal salads, or to being assembled into appetizer skewers with feta and mint. Blended and strained, it yields a crystal-clear juice, perfect for making refreshing granitas, chilled soups flavored with ginger, or as a base for high-end cocktails. ► Storage: This melon is distinguished by its remarkable shelf life thanks to its thick rind, which naturally protects the flesh from drying out. Whole, it stores easily in a cool, dry place. Once cut, it should be covered with cling film and refrigerated. This selection is available at our Fruit and Vegetable Department at Le Delas in the Rungis International Market. Location in store: Atelier Fruits Legumes
