Jimbee’s Galia melon has been presented with a 2026 Flavour of the Year award in recognition of its “exceptional flavour, aroma and quality”.

The Flavour of the Year seal is one of the most recognised distinctions in the agri-food sector, based on blind taste tests conducted by real consumers and evaluated under strict sensory criteria. Jimbee said the recognition was “a direct validation of the work we carry out from the very beginning, taking care of every detail to guarantee a memorable consumption experience”.

“Jimbee’s Galia melon is considered the true diamond of melons. Slightly oval in shape, with golden skin and elegant netting, it stands out for both its attractive exterior and its interior. Its flesh is juicy and refreshing, with an intense and distinctive aroma that makes it unique, and a balanced and enveloping flavour that captivates from the first bite,” the company said.

Consumers who participated in the evaluation particularly highlighted its aromatic intensity, freshness, and pleasant texture, attributes that placed it above the average of other products analysed.

“The award reinforces our core values: a commitment to quality, a focus on authentic flavour, and a close relationship with the consumer. More than just an award, it represents a key tool for communicating the product’s differentiation on the shelf and building trust at the point of purchase,” the company said.

“With this accolade, we reaffirm our objective of continuing to offer fruits with personality, capable of inspiring emotion and transforming every bite into a positive experience. The Galia melon thus solidifies its position as a premium offering, designed for those seeking flavour, freshness, and quality in every piece.”
