More about galia melons
The green-fleshed choice with niche appeal
Galia melons are a hybrid melon with a netted skin and pale green, aromatic flesh. Their unique taste — slightly spicy, honeyed, and less sugary than cantaloupe — gives them a loyal following.
Seasonality and supply strategy
Galia melons are grown across multiple regions, including Brazil, Costa Rica, Spain, and Honduras. Hillfresh secures supply through the Southern and Northern Hemispheres to ensure planning stability during off-peak seasons.
Taste and handling profile
Galia’s thinner skin and subtle flavour require careful harvest timing and post-harvest handling. Hillfresh works closely with growers to pick at optimal maturity and ensure arrival quality.
Retail performance and presentation
Though more niche than other melons, Galia performs well in targeted retail programs, particularly when promoted alongside broader melon mixes.
