  • The melon’s best allies are certainly Parma ham and red fruits. You can appreciate them on skewers, thrown in a salad or as a duo with watermelon.
  • The sweet-savory associations will please and flatter your palate. For instance, try a salad of cucumber, feta and melon. Add spices, salt, pepper, herbs…
  • In a ravioli salad with cherry tomatoes and arugula, melon brings its fruity notes.
  • Cooked: Try a melon stir-fry, baked in a gratin or clafoutis.
  • Alcohols, muscat type port or Grand Marnier blend well with melon and give it an elegant look and exhilarating style.
  • Iced: finally nothing beats something like a melon sorbet or granita!
