Eastern European Variety with a Delicate, Melt-in-the-Mouth Texture

The Honeydew Melon ‘Oliwin’ (Cucumis melo) is a traditional cultivar from Eastern Europe that has proven itself for decades in Poland, the Czech Republic and surrounding regions. It produces medium-sized, rounded fruits with a smooth, pale green rind and finely textured, light green flesh.

‘Oliwin’ is especially prized for its delicately melting texture, very juicy consistency and pleasantly sweet flavour. The fruits weigh around 1–1.5?kg and are ideal for fresh consumption – whether on their own, in fruit salads or as a refreshing summer snack straight from the garden.

Thanks to its early ripening time of just 75–85 days and its good tolerance to cooler conditions, this variety is well suited to cultivation in Central Europe – even in open ground. It also stands out for its excellent keeping qualities: when fully ripe, the melons can be stored in a cool place for up to three weeks.
