Fruit
Whole cantaloupe should be fragrant and free of mould or large soft spots. Sweet musky aroma when ripe. Ripen on the counter if needed, then refrigerate soft fruit briefly before serving. Wash before cutting, not before long storage. Whole fruit keeps longer than cut; once opened, cover and use promptly.
