Super heirloom
Posted by PB on 15th Jul 2009
Our experience with the Zatta lives up to all renaissance effusions on this delightful heirloom melon’s fragrance and flavour.
The Zatta still looks just as it is represented in 17th century still life paintings: a craggy, segmented melon, coloured with deep greens, smoky blues and sandstone shadings.
But it is the aroma and flavour that brings on rhapsody. Yes, clearly a relation of our present day rockmelon but one that makes this generation seem pallid, insipid and characterless by comparison.
The flesh of the Zatta glows an intense golden-orange, its fragrance floods with vanilla and honey blossom and the taste carries a sweet and subtle richness that draws in shades of peach, banana and perhaps orange.
The Zatta is much to be recommended.
