FLAVOUR IS A FRONTIER
Natoora Sweet Italian Melon
- We source our melons direct from Oscar Zerbinati, a specialist melon grower in
the northeast of Italy.
- Grown in open fields on the Mantua floodplains. The clay soil in the area
withholds moisture from the plants, exerting the vital stress that creates
exceptional flavour.
- This means that sugars are undiluted, flesh is firm and saturated in juice.
- Left to ripen fully in direct sun, picked only when the leaves are golden and
the skin is almost bursting with flavour.
- Oscar grows two varieties of orange flesh melons: rough-skinned Sunsweet and
smoother Honeymoon.
- Grown in open, untreated fields, these melons are entirely unsprayed.

- Brush with extra virgin olive oil, drape with Parma ham.
- Serve with salty cheese such as Pecorino and rocket as a summer salad.
Natoora's radical approach to seasonal sourcing is shaping the future of food
- We are revolutionising the food system.
- We work direct with growers who value flavour, biodiversity and heritage over
yield.
- We give them the support they need to build a better future for food, rooted
in small scale, sustainable agriculture that gives back to our planet."
