The yellow melon is recognised by the colour of the smooth skin and by the very light flesh very rich in juice. Melon has small, flat seeds inside; it is a summer fruit, particularly sweet; the high water content makes it very thirst quenching, indeed, in addition to being consumed at various times of the day as a fruit which is rich in taste and poor in calories, it is often used as a light starter. It originates from the area of the Caucasus and is generally cultivated in countries with temperate climates; Italy together with Spain and France are the main European countries producing this type of delicious fruit. Indeed, the melon needs a temperate warm climate and land exposed to the sun. The Oranfrizer melons only come from dedicated Sicilian production areas, in particular the Southern coastal strip (Agrigento and surrounds), the Western extremities (Trapani and surrounds) and a number of areas on the Plain of Catania.
