Our fresh seasonal watermelons are grown for us by our Spanish farmer based in Almeria, Spain, where lots of our peppers, tomatoes, courgettes, melons and aubergines are also grown.

The skin of a melon is never eaten, however it is strong enough to act as a support to the flesh while you eat it. It is easiest to deal with if you slice half way down the melon, lengthways. Then cut off a wedge and dig in! The flesh can also be cut away from the skin and used in fruit salads. Melon should be kept in a cool place, although until it has been cut open the moisture loss should be minimal. Once you have taken a few slices out of it, keep it in a plastic covering in your fridge.
