Old Tree Holor老树葫芦

Old Tree Holor老树葫芦 (D163)

• Pulp: 450g, $35 per box

A classic Penang famous durian, the Holo (葫芦) is named after its unique elongated, gourd-like shape. Harvested from mature old trees, this variety is highly sought after for its rich character and excellent eating quality.

• Flesh (Aril): Thick, dense, and creamy with a smooth, velvety texture. Colour ranges from pale yellow to golden-orange. Often dry and sticky (干包) with minimal fibre.
• Flavour: Sweet with a pleasant mild bitterness at the finish. Rich, concentrated taste — some old trees even develop subtle caramel, peanut-buttery or chocolate notes. Less pungent than many other varieties.
• Why Special: Old-tree Holo offers deeper aroma, thicker flesh, and more complex flavour compared to younger trees. A favourite among beginners and connoisseurs alike in Penang.

This Penang heritage durian is perfect for those who love sweet, creamy, and addictive “liam chooi” (黏嘴) texture.
