charentais melon 夏朗德瓜 (Cucucumis melo var. cantalupensis). French kind of 硬皮甜瓜 Explanation: UTF-8 encoded 夏朗德 (Charentes) is a region located in the West of France. We called melon from this region "Melon Charentais" (charentais melon in english). Charentais is the adjectival form of the geographic proper name Charentes (as in 夏朗德人). Usually very sweet. Careful, it's not an "a" but "e" = CharEntais, not CharAntais. It looks like this http://www.terroir13.com/images/fiches/21.jpg In fact, the Cavaillon Melon and Charentais Melon are grown from the same variety. The difference is only made by the soil and the climate where they are growing. This Melon is also called "cantaloupe" in english (french cantaloup). The name Cantaloup came from the name of a town where Popes had established their summer residence during the Renaissance, called Cantalupi (Italia). Be careful not to confuse with what some Americans people called cantaloupe. Those cantaloupes are in fact "muskmelons" (Cucumis melo var. reticulatus = 网纹甜瓜). On this page, you can see the difference : http://triesse.rsi.fr/melon/toutsavoir.php?task=view&article... The frist image is a charentais melon (same as Cavaillon melon) The second is muskmelon (or "melon charentais brodé" in french) 网纹甜瓜.
