Melon, Prosciutto & Burrata – French Summer Kit

Tasting Notes of the Curator

This kit captures summer’s softest moments—sun-warmed fruit, salt on the skin, the cool collapse of fresh cheese.

The Famous Charentais Melon arrives fragrant and floral, its orange flesh bursting with honeyed juice. Grown in France and prized for its perfume, this is not just a melon—it’s a seasonal treasure.

Our Special Selection Parma Ham (100g) is thinly sliced and silky, with just enough salt to highlight the melon’s sweetness. It drapes and folds like satin, leaving a whisper of umami that lingers gently.

The star finale: Fresh Burrata in Fig Leaf (250g)—a luxurious orb of stracciatella and cream encased in tender mozzarella, gently wrapped in a fig leaf for an added whisper of earth and elegance. Creamy, cold, and indulgent, it offers the perfect counterpoint to the salty ham and sun-kissed melon.

• Drizzle with olive oil, and add cracked pepper or fresh mint if desired.
• Serve with crusty bread or eat as is—cool, clean, and completely satisfying.

An Ode to Simplicity

This is the kind of meal that needs no fanfare. A knife, a plate, and a moment of quiet are enough. Inspired by Provençal tables and Italian antipasti, this summer kit blends France and Italy into something elemental. Salty, soft, and sun-sweet—each ingredient speaks for itself, and together, they sing. It’s a dish to eat slowly, barefoot, ideally outdoors.
