Old Tree IOI老树金马
Old Tree IOI老树金马 (D168)
- Pulp: 450g, $25 per box
The "Golden Classic" of Durians — a true connoisseur’s favourite and one of Malaysia’s most reliable, sought-after premium varieties from Johor.
Flesh (Aril): Exceptionally thick, creamy, and buttery with a beautiful pale to light golden-yellow hue (sometimes leaning towards soft orange). Very low fibre, soft and custardy texture — one of the softest varieties, smooth and melts effortlessly in the mouth with excellent “easy-release” from the seed.
Flavour: Bold yet balanced and approachable — a perfect harmony of rich sweetness with a gentle bittersweet edge. Notes of frosting-like sweetness, roasted nuts, light caramel, subtle grassiness, and mild fermented fruit. Fruity and fragrant aroma that is powerful but not overwhelming, filling the room with a pleasant, classic durian scent.
Why Special: IOI (D168) is prized for its medium-sized, round-to-oval compact fruit with consistently high flesh ratio and reliable quality. Originating from Muar, Johor (also linked to IOI plantations), it is grown from selected trees that deliver excellent sweetness, soft creamy texture, and strong aroma retention every season. Many enthusiasts love it as a well-rounded premium choice — sweeter and more approachable than heavily bitter varieties, yet complex enough to rival top-tier durians.
