Ever been confused about which durian to buy? Wondering if delivery affects freshness, or how long you can keep that golden pulp in the fridge? You’re not alone. Whether you're a first-time taster or a seasoned fan, here’s everything you need to know to enjoy durians the right way — no guesswork, just pure indulgence.
What’s the Difference Between All the Durian Types?
Not all durians are the same — and that’s what makes them so exciting.
Mao Shan Wang (MSW) is rich, creamy, and bittersweet — the most popular and often called the “king of kings.”
Black Gold is a premium grade of MSW, known for its intense bitterness and deeper flavour profile.
D24 offers a smooth, balanced taste with a slight sweetness — perfect for first-timers.
Red Prawn is soft, custard-like, and naturally sweet — a favourite among dessert lovers.
Each variety offers a different taste experience, so don't be afraid to explore.
Can Durians Really Be Delivered?
Yes — and they arrive fresher than you might think.
At VLACK Durian, we freshly open and pack your durians only after an order is placed. Every box is vacuum-sealed to lock in the flavour and prevent any leakage or smell. Your durians arrive ready to enjoy, with no mess, no guessing, and no bad seeds.
How Should I Store Durians?
Once they’re in your hands, here’s how to keep them fresh:
Eat them immediately if you want to enjoy them at peak texture and flavour.
Refrigerate in an airtight container if you're saving them for the next day (they’ll firm up slightly but stay tasty).
Freeze them if you’re planning to use them later for desserts or smoothies — just let them thaw naturally before eating.
Pro tip: Keep them sealed well. Durians love to share their scent — with everything else in your fridge.
