# Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 262/2013 of 18 March 2013 approving a minor amendment to the specification for a name entered in the register of protected designations of origin and protected geographical indications (Melon du Quercy (PGI)), Division 5.2: Specificity of the product

Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

‘Melon du Quercy’ is of the Charentais-type variety, which has a smooth, netted peel with more or less prominent grooves/furrows.
It has an orange flesh that is juicy and both firm and tender.
The selection of varieties according to agronomic and aromatic criteria (flavour, taste, etc.) linked to the clay-limestone soils, typical climate and harvesting criteria (fully ripe) are key factors in obtaining fruit that live up to their potential: sweet flavour (11° Brix minimum), well-developed fragrances and tastes, sustained and characteristic aromas.
