Late Neapolitan Green Melon (Cucumis melo): an ancient Neapolitan variety that has been cultivated for centuries.
The fruits are a good size, often exceeding 2 kg. The skin is wrinkled and leathery, the flesh ranges from light green to white, and the sugar content is high. It is a late-season fruit, harvested from August to September. It also keeps well after picking: store it in wooden or plastic crates in a well-ventilated area, taking care to avoid contact between the fruits. You can eat it even after Christmas . A good choice for a winter alternative to pumpkins without resorting to imported melons.
