The Vibe: Ultimate luxury. This is the durian connoisseur's choice and the most sought-after variety.

The Lowdown:

  • Taste Profile: Incredibly rich, bitter-sweet, and buttery with a complex, almost alcoholic depth.

  • The Tell-Tale Signs: Look for a distinct brown, star-shaped pattern on the bottom of the shell and a pronounced greenish-brown husk.

  • Why It's Pricey: The cultivation is meticulous, the yield is relatively low, and the demand is sky-high. You're paying for an unparalleled creamy texture and intense flavor.

The Verdict: If you're going to try one durian, make it this one. It's a premium experience that justifies the hype (and the price tag).
