'''[[Template:Indication Géographique ProtégéeFr|IGP]] Melon du Haut-Poitou''' is a [[melon]] belonging to the yellow Charentais type.

'''Production Method'''

Cultivation provides for carefully planned sowings and plantings. [[Melon]] harvesting begins the 1st of July and finishes on September 30th. During harvesting, the [[fruit]] is first selected. After that, [[melons]] are carried to the conditioning premises where they are further selected according to size. [[Fruits]] are packed in alveolar trays. Then, they are stored within 48 hours of the harvesting at a temperature of 9-13ºC. It is advisable to sell them within five days.

'''Appearance and Flavour'''

[[Template:Indication Géographique ProtégéeFr|IGP]] Melon du Haut-Poitou is spherical in shape, with well defined segments. Its skin is warty and the surface is green. Its pulp is dark orange, juicy, tasty and sweet flavoured. It is rich in [[vitamins]], fibre, water and [[mineral]] elements. It is also low in calories.

'''Production Area'''

The production area of the [[Template:Indication Géographique ProtégéeFr|IGP]] Melon du Haut-Poitou includes four departments: the north parth of the Vienne valley, north-east part of the Deux Sèvres, south of the Indre et Loire and the Maine et Loire, in the Poitou-Charentes, Centre and Pays de la Loire regions.

'''History'''

[[Melon]] was already known and highly appreciated in the Egyptian and Roman age. It was exported to France in 1495, after Charles VIII troops returned from the Italian wars. But it was in 1856 that, thanks to the intuition of a French gardener who tried sowing the [[melon]] in wide areas, [[melon]] production in Haut-Poitou started.

'''Gastronomy'''

The [[Template:Indication Géographique ProtégéeFr|IGP]] Melon du Haut-Poitou can be preserved for five to six days in the compartment with greater temperature of [[refrigerator]]s. It has to be protected with aluminium [[foil]] in order to avoid that its strong scent is transmitted to other food in the [[fridge]]. [[Melon]] is a very tasty [[fruit]] that combines easily with other dishes, sweet or savoury. It is washed; its skin and internal [[seeds]] are removed and then cut in segments or in small balls with the corresponding tool. [[Melon]] can be consumed natural, with [[sugar]], or [[salt]] and [[pepper]] together with slices of raw [[ham]]. It can be used for [[fruit]] [[salads]] or served with [[ice-cream]] or sweet types of [[wine]] like [[Port]]. It can also be used cooked, for fairly elaborated preparations, cut in subtle slices placed on an oval plate, seasoned with [[strawberry]] [[vinegar]] and [[ham]].

'''Marketing'''

The product is sold as [[Template:Indication Géographique ProtégéeFr|IGP]] Melon du Haut-Poitou. It is marketed packed in fruit boxes on alveolus and laid down on tissues. Each [[melon]] has an adhesive label indicating its denomination.

'''Distinctive Features'''

The Haut Poitou region is characterised by land rich in clay and limestone, it is well ventilated and climate characterised by hot summers and mild winters, that allow producing firm, resistant and long-lasting [[melons]]. The [[Template:Indication Géographique ProtégéeFr|IGP]] Melon du Haut-Poitou owes its reputation and fame to these characteristics which give to this [[fruit]] an important place in the inventory of French culinary heritage.
