Golden Dewlicious Melon
I saw this melon at Costco. I'd never seen a "dewlicious" melon before, and I was curious. It was only $4.00. At the checkout the girl said, "That's one good melon!" Then the girl at the door who checked my receipt said, "That's da bomb melon!" I thought, "Wow, I shoulda grabbed two."

From Marsha--I bought one at the 99 Cent Store yesterday. It had the same sticker as the one in your photo. I have never heard of this variety. It is very good! Tastes like a honeydew but the skin is a bright yellow. Could it be this melon? Check out this site: http://www.specialtyproduce.com/index.php?item=2236&name=Golden_Honeydew_Melon
Hi Marsha. I think it is the same. I only had the melon that one time . . . haven't seen it since. Now I'm craving it!
Make you wait about 5 days after buying. Get them super sweet. Best melon!!
Thanks for the tip, Anon!

Hi Betty, good luck with planting the seeds! Last summer was the first and last time that I tasted this melon. Hope I can find it again this year.
I just got one in a summer harvest basket and wondered what it was, so I googled it, and I found your blog....I am glad you had this entry because I had no idea what it was.
I will have it tonight after dinner. Thanks for this.
You're so welcome, T!
It's not a Golden Honeydew, it actually is a "Golden Dewlicious", it's a hybrid of a cantaloupe and honeydew, grown only by Fisher Ranch in Blythe, CA. During the right season (usually june-august) you can find them in Wal-Mart and Costco. If you get it when it's ripe, it's really sweet. And a little secret - if it isn't quite ripe when you first cut into it, cut it into pieces, wrap it up, and put it in your fridge for a day or 2. I promos it will get a bit sweeter! ;-)
Matori Farms of Scottsdale AZ originally created the hybrid. Matori started as a pushcart fruit vendor at the turn of the 20th century in "The City" That's New York City.
I just bought one of these locally in Tucson AZ. It was delicious and your photo is exactly like what I purchased down to the same company sticker.
Thanks for the info, Anon!
The new 99 cent store is Santa Barbara, Ca has these melons. So delicious and what a great price!
Thanks June!
Fisher Ranch sends the big Golden Dewlicious to Costco and the small ones to the 99 Cent Only store. Currently Costco is selling them for $2.49. If they are grown with the proper amount of manure, they will be very sweet as long as you cut them open when they are ripe and soft on the end opposite the stem.
Thanks for the tips Anon!
I've tried these melons before and they are great, I can buy them at the $.99 store all the time, so $4 is not that great a buy.
