The cantaloupe originally hails from Iran, and its cultivation dates back to nearly 5000 years ago. Its name, however, has an Italian origin - it's named after Cantalupo, a small town near Rome. The story goes that cantaloupe seeds were brought back to Cantalupo by a Catholic missionary from Armenia in the 15th century. The soil and climate conditions in Cantalupo proved ideal for cantaloupe cultivation and it thrived there, hence the melon was named in honor of the town. Today, it's enjoyed by people all around the world and is especially known for its hydrating properties, high vitamin content, and sweet, refreshing taste.
