Thick yet highly moist\/watery texture that flows like a rich egg yolk when bitten — very creamy with minimal fibre, almost melts instantly in the mouth with a smooth, velvety finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlavour\u003c\/strong\u003e: Complex, bold and deeply satisfying with a signature bittersweet profile. Intense sweetness balanced by a refined bitter edge and prominent fermented notes reminiscent of fine \u003cstrong\u003eXO cognac\u003c\/strong\u003e or aged brandy. Layers of creamy malt, roasted butter, subtle caramel, and a lingering alcoholic warmth. Powerful, lingering aroma that is rich, pungent, and addictive — the longer it ferments in the shell, the stronger the \"boozy\" character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy Special\u003c\/strong\u003e: XO stands out for its small-to-medium compact fruit size with a surprisingly high flesh-to-seed ratio. Selected from superior old-tree clones and allowed longer natural fermentation, it offers remarkable intensity, strong aroma retention, and a sophisticated depth that sets it apart from standard D24. Many enthusiasts rank it as a refined, high-end choice for those who love strong, bitter-sweet profiles with an unforgettable aftertaste. It can even leave a slight \"drunken\" sensation — perfect for serious durian lovers seeking thick, soft, boozy character rather than purely sweet and dry-pack varieties.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HG Fresh Durian","offers":[{"title":"Pulp","offer_id":47843610230958,"sku":"Per box","price":25.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0749\/4290\/6542\/files\/XOFruit_2.png?v=1778511732","url":"https:\/\/hgfreshdurians.com\/products\/xo","provider":"HG Fresh Durian","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
