The North American cantaloupe is nicknamed "rock melon cantaloupe" after the rock-like appearance of its skin. This feature causes it to differ from the other common variety, the European Cantaloupe. Rock melon cantaloupes feature a firm, orange and deliciously sweet pulp. Monin Rock Melon Cantaloupe offers the true, juicy essence of North American cantaloupe and is ideal in several applications that highlight its refreshing summertime taste.
