Melon season in California features a diverse array of varieties, including honeydews, cantaloupes, and watermelons. From Japan, the Arus muskmelon stands out among prized melons. In Tokyo, the cultural significance of melons is emphasized with auction prices reflecting their value. A recent purchase of a Weiser Family Farms Brilliant melon in Los Angeles demonstrated the deliciousness of ripe melons, reminiscent of custard. Melons can be enjoyed in various forms, from simple slices with prosciutto to innovative dishes like watermelon curry and salads with unique flavor combinations.
The individual-size tart had a sablé crust, mousse filling, piped whipped cream and chunks of juicy, glowingly pale-green Arus melon, rind and all.
Melons are a cultural symbol, and a pair of Yukari Kings once famously sold for $45,000 at auction.
Last week in L.A., I bought a Weiser Family Farms Brilliant melon, so ripe it was like custard, which I ate with a spoon.
This weekend I fully anticipate cutting into at least a few melons, which are more versatile than you might expect.
