Description
The Rockmelon Piel de Sapo, which literally translates into English as “toad’s skin” and comes from the characteristic green-olive striped pattern of its peel.
It has led some Australian growers to call them “Croc-melons”.
The melon is shaped like an oval, similar to a football.
The thick rind means that Piel de Sapo’s possess excellent shelf life and transportability and its tough exterior hides a dense, juicy and refreshing sweet flesh that has to be tried to be believed.
Its refreshing flavour profile is perfect for summer salads, smoothies, or enjoying on its own.
