- The Black Thorn durian is renowned for its outstanding sweetness and creamy texture. Due to its extremely low production, it is highly prized and is often referred to as “gold on the tree.” Even in Malaysia, where it originates, tasting fresh Black Thorn durian is a rare treat, and its price is typically higher than Musang King because of its rarity and costliness.
- The name “Black Thorn” comes from the black tip at the top of its spiked shell. The flesh has a rich yellow hue with bright orange tones, making it very eye-catching. Its texture is creamy and sticky, with just the right amount of fiber. The flavor is intensely sweet with a slight bitterness that is smooth rather than harsh. The dense flesh offers a rich, layered taste with complex flavors that leave a long-lasting, satisfying aftertaste.
