Cantaloupe is a variety of fruit from the melon family. It originated in the Middle East and eventually spread across Europe. Cantaloupe was named after Cantalupo, Italy, the city where cantaloupe was originally cultivated from Armenia melon seeds in the 1700’s. Christopher Columbus transported melon seeds to the United States, which were later cultivated by Spanish explorers in California.
Cantaloupe, which is actually called a muskmelon, is the most common melon within the United States. The majority of cantaloupe produced in the United States is grown in California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas.
