The fruits are medium to large in size, reaching a weight of up to 2 kg. During the ripening process, the skin color changes from green to yellow-orange or ochre. The firm and juicy flesh of a deep orange color has a pronounced aroma and a high sugar content.
The plant is vining and belongs to mid-early or mid-season varieties with a vegetation period of about 90 days. The variety is considered undemanding and well-adapted to sunny conditions, although cultivation under cover is recommended in northern regions.
The fruits are characterized by good keeping quality and are used primarily fresh. The variety is an heirloom and is classified as a type of cantaloupe, historically associated with the Italian city of Massa.
