We were so thrilled to finally get our hands on Brunei's first ever premium melons! 😍🍈 Some facts you should know about these artisanally-grown fruits:
.
✔️ Part of the "Japanese Arus" breed
✔️ Grown with a strict One Tree One Fruit policy to ensure consistent quality throughout
✔️ Farmed, harvested and packed in the heart of Brunei but proudly exported internationally

Melts can be found at all Supasave outlets throughout Brunei at $17.50 per kilo. We have to say it's well worth a melon bucks! 💚
