Tuscan Style™ cantaloupe is covered in a golden tan-hued, roughly netted exterior. Its skin is segmented in grooves which change color from dark green to a golden-cream color as it ripens. Dark green grooves indicate a sweet, firm fleshed fruit, while a light green to golden color indicates a softer texture and a richer cantaloupe flavor. An exceptionally sweet melon, Dulcinea Tuscan Style™ cantaloupes have a Brix level of 14-16 (on average traditional cantaloupes have measure a 9 or 10 Brix).
