The recipes with the best seller of summer dishes that go beyond the more classic "ham and …"
The melon it is summer: its intense aroma, which is already felt at the market or at the supermarket, which accompanies you in the shopping bag and which then continues to be released on the table, is summer.
When the heat knocks on doors, one of the things we all do in the kitchen is replace dinner with a nice plate of ham and melon. Or not?
How to choose the melon?
The melon is an annual herbaceous plant, the varieties are divided into summer and winter and therefore the first thing to do is to choose a seasonal one. Yes to the Retato melon, round with the skin drawn by a dense lattice, with a sweet pulp; Cantaloupe, very sweet, fragrant, with firm pulp; al Galia, with a very aromatic white pulp. To choose a good melon always remember to smell it: a fragrant melon has reached a good ripeness, if it does not smell and tends to green it will be unripe.
How to preserve the melon?
The melon can be stored outside the refrigerator but in a cool place, away from heat sources or direct sunlight, which speeds up maturation (so it should not be left on the balcony, for example). If you need to consume it immediately, the ideal is to put it in the refrigerator only a few hours before consumption. Be careful if you decide not to consume it immediately; especially the Retato matures and rots quickly, so in that case it is better to keep it in the fridge but away from the walls to avoid freezing.
