Reception Our expertise News Gallery Summer job Contact Production and marketing of melons in Vienne You are here: www.melon-lechapeau86.com / Home The production of melons in Vienne , in the Poitou-Charentes region , arrived in the mid-1980s. We started to market our melon production through a cooperative, then faced with its inefficiency and incompetence, we decided to create our own brand "Le Chapeau Melon du Haut-Poitou" and to sell them ourselves. Today, our melon cultivation is spread over 100 hectares and is constantly increasing. We also produce galia melon as well as pumpkins and colocynths . We sell our products in all regions of France. You will find our melon in supermarkets and regional markets. As part of commercial events that we organize regularly, the discovery and sale of our melons is carried out by young students.

The melon, masterpiece of summer Le melon appartient à la famille des cucurbitacées. Comme ses frères et sœurs à pépins (citrouilles, potirons, courgettes, concombres et pastèques), amateurs de lumière et de chaleur, il pousse sur le sol, bien protégé par sa grosse peau. Planté à partir d'avril, il est au mieux de sa saveur en juillet et en août, offrant de belles tranches de soleil et de suavité jusqu'à l'automne. A l’œil, un bon melon est reconnaissable par sa rondeur, sans tâches. Les petites craquelures sur la peau sont le signe d’une bonne maturité, tout comme la queue qui se décolle. La peau épaisse doit être souple. In the hand, the melon gives a feeling of heaviness. On the nose, it gives off a pleasant but light fragrance. As for the color, it varies from emerald green to a beautiful orange. Last news Mar 13 Launch of our website! Welcome to our website. By browsing it, you will discover the detail ...
