PGI ensures protection of the name "Melon de Guadeloupe" throughout the European Union.
Melons from Guadeloupe, type "Charentais yellow", have just obtained the PGI (Protected Geographical Indication), after Haut-Poitou, in1988, and the Quercy melon in 2002.
Grown on 500 hectares in two islands in the archipelago of Guadeloupe (Grande Terre and Marie Galante), it is harvested
only from November to June, the opposite to conventional production in Europe. In 2010 its production reached 8,000 tons.
Guadeloupe melons offer a very sweet taste, a lot of flavor and fragrance and a tender flesh.
