Lookin’ for something special? There be delicious adventures waiting.
Each of the durians on this list are registered with the Malaysian Department of Agriculture and originated at the locations marked.
You can use this map in a couple of ways.
Pick your destination: Want a durian adventure but not sure where to go? Take a glance at the map and head to the places with the largest clusters of durians, or pick a durian that interests you and see if you can go find it.
Find special durians nearby: Drinking Starbucks on vacation is fine, but it’s always more fun to go local! Why stick with the nationwide brands of durian (D24, Musang King) when you can delve into the more local varieties? Use this map to see which durians originated nearby and get some local flavor.
Do the terroir thing: Environment, climate, weather and soil have such an impact on flavor, which is why the French even have a word for it: terroir. A Red Prawn durian grown outside its home state (Penang) looks and tastes different, and it’s the same for each type of durian. To taste what the original judges considered worthy of registration, you need to go back to each durian’s native region and taste it there. This map will help you do that.
