Galia Melon each
Galia Melons have a distinctive netted, golden-green rind and pale green flesh that's fragrant, juicy, and gently sweet, somewhere between a cantaloupe and honeydew in flavour. The aroma is one of the best indicators of ripeness, a ripe Galia smells noticeably sweet even through the skin. As part of our Fresh Fruits range, each melon is chosen for weight and fragrance.

How to Choose a Good Melon
