The roots of this fruit are deep in tradition

Melons have ancient origins in Africa and Asia, and were widespread throughout the Mediterranean basin as early as Egyptian and Roman times. The Romans particularly prized them, so much so that they carefully cultivated them in the countryside surrounding the capital, precisely in the area of ​​Lazio that still boasts a strong horticultural tradition. The netted variety, with its unmistakable surface netting, has established itself over the centuries as one of the most prized for its fragrance and sweetness. In Lazio, outdoor melon cultivation using non-intensive methods preserves agricultural knowledge passed down from generation to generation. This attention to the land and seasonality is the key to a flavor that forced cultivation cannot match. A fruit that combines millennia of history and local roots.
