Durian is a richly pungent tropical fruit that is commonly referred to as the king of all fruit. Musang King, known as Mao Shan Wang or D197, is dubbed the “king of kings” and the most sought-after variety of durian in the world due to its exceptionally good flavor, texture, and aroma. Musang King has a rich and decadent custard-like flesh with aromatic flavor that is sweet and creamy with complex notes of vanilla, caramel, fresh cream, and jackfruit. Musang King is notable for its pleasantly bittersweet aftertaste and rich flavor.
