Welcome to Jelebu, West Malaysia!

The valley region around Jelebu nestles in the rolling hills of Negeri Sembilan, a gorgeous mountainous province in the southeast of Peninsular Malaysia that is located less than 2-hours from the big capital city of Kuala Lumpur.

This proximity to KL makes this region a prime destination for city-dwellers seeking a dose of green on weekends. The district is still primarily rolling farmland of tree-crops like durian, fruits, rubber, and palm oil intermixed with forested jungle still inhabited by tapirs, leopard cats, porcupines, & many other wild animals. On weekends, the pristine waterfalls, many hiking trails, little family durian farms, and small nature resorts buzz with business. On the weekdays, it's quiet.

With cooler hillside weather, bright blue skies, and an incredible quality durian coming from these small family farms, the district of Jelebu should be on everyone's Durian Destinations Bucket List. We hope that you will feel delighted, inspired, and satiated as you munch your way through these 4 basic flavors Malaysia.

When you're ready to try more varieties, head over to the Build Your Own Box page.

What's Included in the 4-Variety Set:

 

D197 Musang King 400g

The Malaysian Favorite! Musang King's reliably dense, sultry, nutty, chocolatey flesh is one of the best durians in the world. With its beautiful bright yellow hue  – no wonder it's so popular!

$10 Off! D24 XO Durian 400g

This old-tree D24 XO brings all the homey decadence of eating a very thick-textured, cream-cheesy cookie dough with a splash of alcohol. It has one of the most "classic" durian flavors, a satisfyingly complex brown-sugar sweetness combined with a lingering bitterness of dark chocolate covered coffee beans that combines perfeclty to define when durian just tastes like good durian.

In stock

D28 Durian 400g

This hefty durian has big pieces, a nutty, pastry-like texture with notes of berry and a pretty yellow color. It's sweet, earthy, & very satisfying. If you like D14, Hor Lor or Musang King, you'll likely love D28 😋

Out of stock

D78 Durian 400g

The ivory folds of D78's thick heavy cream are among the most alcoholic, most bitter, most craving-satisfying durian we found in 2024. If you like intense durians, this one's for you! (if you hate strong-smelling durians, keep this out of your house! 😜)

Out of stock

Optional Add Ons:

Fill up your box with more fruit! Negeri Sembilan is famous for many types of delicious fruits, and especially for its jackfruits and Cempedak-Jackfruit hybrids (Artocarpus integer x Artocarpus heterophyllus).

You may add 4 more items to this box to maximize the space and shipping.

Mangosteen 300g

Juicy, sweet and tangy, these pretty white flower-shaped fruits are many people's favorite tropical fruit – and a must to pair with durian! Mangosteens are frequently eaten together with durian to "cool down" and "balance" durians intense, dense and warm flavors.

Out of stock

Cempejak 400g

These plump lemonade-juicy pods come from a cempedak-jackfruit hybrid grown on Titi Eco Farm, a myOrganik certified farm. Super sweet, super soft, super slurpy – this is one of Lindsay's personal favorite fruits and can only be found in the Negeri Sembilan region.

Out of stock

J33 Nangka Madu Jackfruit 400g

The "honey jackfruit" of Malaysia, this one has a uniquely firm but pliable texture that packs a sugary punch. It's very sweet and has more of a honeyed or syrupy sweetness compared with other jackfruits, which are more juicy and floral but often not as sweet. This is NOT a soft/slippery jackfruit. It's somewhere in between.

In stock

Malaysian Red Dragonfruit - 1 Large Fruit

Picked fully ripe, these dragonfruits have a berry-flavor and antioxidant load that is perfect for blending into any bright pink-purple concoctions. If you thaw these, they get very juicy and have a jelly-ish texture, yummy plain or with some yogurt and granola. They are sliced in two halves for easy portioning.

    Mountain Durians for Hardcore Durian Lovers

    Negeri Sembilan Durians are ruggedly intense. The cool mists and hot sunny days make some of the best quality durians in the country with an egg-custard density to them that makes their textures extra rich, satiating and luxurious. Their flavors tend toward earthy flavors like robust coffee, chocolate, whiskey and rum and even metallic and chemical bites!

    Beware – the durians in this box are funkier, stronger, and more classic Durian-y than durians from other places, like Penang. You may run yourself into more trouble with your local fire station 😆 warn the neighbors before imbibing!

    If you like your durians sweet, floral, and gently perfumed head on over to the Penang Classics Durian Set or our Build Your Own Box to load up on those varietals.

    *No Styrofoam Packaging*

    To get these durians to you still cold, we need sturdy insulation. We have switched to a corn-based

    *Compostable Insulation*

    To get these durians to you still cold, we are using a compostable insulation made out of corn. Simply remove the plastic and throw into your compost pile, or throw it in the sink, turn the water on, and watch it melt.

    *Compostable Trays*

    The trays are made out of Bagasse, the sugar-cane fibers that are thrown away while making sugar. They are biodegradable and compostable, so don’t feel about bad tossing them in your garbage bin or the garden.

    *Yes, we Test!*

    We buy from small farms that promise us they are not using pesticides and herbicides, so although we could assume that our durians are pesticide-residue free, we decided to go ahead and pay for testing from a laboratory as well. No surprise – our durians contain zero residues and zero heavy metals.
    Send an email to [email protected] to see our pesticide residue and heavy metal reports for our durians from Titi.

      Exceptional packaging and love the detailed pamphlet that comes with each order. I bought this as a treat for my family who usually gets the durian at 99 ranch- nothing wrong with that but I love how this is lovingly curated and we get to sample a variety.

      Frozen coconut water was fresh and reminded us of the tropics. I like the approach to sustainable packaging.

      D168 (IOI Johor Mas) is a fan favorite in our house, more than Musang King. This was instantly gone the day that we tried it. D24 was my second favorite and it did remind me of cookie dough which was surprising to me. Since the other varieties were so sweet D78 was too strong of a contrast and bitter. We took one bite and went back to eating the rest of D168. I would recommend eating this one on another day on its own as we enjoyed the first three so much.

      I would recommend this for any durian lovers who want to sample the best of what Malaysia has to offer in unique durian flavors.

      Hi Lindsay and Richard- i absolutely 💯 love this new box from Jelebu! All 4 packets were nicely packaged and frozen upon arrive together with the coco water that acts like an iced packaging! Have wolfed down the Musang King the day it arrived (patiently waited for it to thaw naturally!) and a day later the D78. I am loving the D78!!! You guys do not disappoint!
