A small spherical melon, the Galia is actually a hybrid cross between the Honeydew and Cantaloupe that was first cultivated in the 1970s. It’s size and skin closer resemble the Cantaloupe, while the flesh is more akin to a Honeydew.

Super sweet in flavour and rich in vitamin C, these melons have a pale green/white flesh that is most widely used as a simple snack on its own, but also often seen as a classic combination with cured meats as an appetiser. The skin will change from a light green to a deeper yellow/orange when ripe while giving off a sweet aroma.
