It's one of several purchased and comes from a tree in Luzon. Size: about 1.5 to 2kg, (NOTE: these were "rejects" from the tree and mostly had just 1 to 3 locules at the most per fruit.
Texture: The flesh is smooth, creamy with little if any fibres at all. Melts on the fingers.... like icecream to the touch.
Aril color: flesh was deeper yellow than it looks on the photo and some had almost a very light brownish, shimmering tinge on them, as if it was very slightly "toasted" and sprinkled with micro-glitters that some ladies use for makeup.
Taste: sweet, buttery, nutty, bubble gummy flavor, and a slight bitterness and a very very slight hint of sourness.
Ripening: The first one i opened on Day 1 tasted like potato--disappointing. The second, third and fourth days I opened one each which got better and better--the third and fourth days tasting as described above--super delicious.
Exterior: The exterior photos below may be 3 different varieties and I'm not 100% which is the correct one. Photo 1 may be a separate variety. Photo 4-7 another variety. Photo #8 could be a third variety. Take note its more yellowish. If I were to guess, it'd be pics 4-7 or #8. I do remember tho that they were quite easy to handle because the thorns were not so sharp and quite blunt compared to many durians. But for sure the interior is the correct photo since I ate this right after taking the photo.
