Zerbinati Pigmentato Melon: A Seasonal Italian Delight!

The Zerbinati Pigmentato melon, an exquisite summer fruit, is known for its extreme fragrance and delightful sweetness. This unique melon variety boasts a vibrant, deep orange flesh that is both visually stunning and incredibly flavourful. The texture is succulent and juicy, providing a refreshing burst with every bite. Sourced exclusively from the renowned Zerbinati family in Northern Italy, these melons are available only from late May to July. 

Zerbinati Pigmentato Melon Cooking Suggestions

  • Grilling: Lightly brush with olive oil and grill for a few minutes to enhance its natural sweetness and add a smoky flavour.
  • Roasting: Slice and roast with a drizzle of honey for a caramelised, intensified sweetness.
  • Blending: Blend into a chilled melon soup or smoothie for a refreshing treat.
  • Baking: Incorporate into baked goods like muffins or cakes for a unique fruity twist.
  • Salad: Dice and toss with fresh greens and a light vinaigrette for a refreshing salad.

Zerbinati Pigmentato Melon Serving Suggestions

  • Prosciutto-wrapped melon balls: A simple and elegant appetiser.
