Savor is a hybrid. Nope on saving seeds and expecting them to come true to form. I haven't grown Savor. I grow Charentais. I have no idea how close it tastes to heirloom Charentais. Grow both and compare? :) You can get Charentais seeds at seedsaver.org

Charentais-type just means it is breed to be the same type of melon. One of the parents is Charentais. IMO it is marketing talk to help people recognize the fact that it is a Charentais hybrid. I assume along with disease resistance, it gives people in unfriendly Charentais zones a chance to grow something close. Maybe it is crack resistant. :)

Yes there are other Charentais type hybrids.

Thanks Reign!
