The most popular melon in spain, 'Piel de Sapo' is Spanish for 'frog's skin'. We first collected seed from this melon in Turkey. Its white flesh is much sweeter than those rock hard, supermarket cantaloupes and it stores for months. In Italy this late cropper is harvested and hung above the rafters to last as a Christmas day delicacy, but in Australia, you'll be able to enjoy this melon until Easter.

Zoe S. ★★★★★

The germination rate on these was incredible—nearly every seed sprouted within a week. The seedlings are already showing the classic 'frog's skin' pattern. Can't wait to taste that famously sweet white flesh come summer.

David ★★★★★

Grew three of these in a sunny patch and the white flesh came out way sweeter than any cantaloupe I've tried from the supermarket—like honey with a hint of floral. The skin's texture is exactly as described, rough and frog-like, but it peels off easy once ripe.

William E. ★★★★★

The germination rate on these was fantastic, nearly every seed sprouted. I’m already amazed by how sweet the flesh is compared to any store-bought cantaloupe I've tried.
