Blackthorn Durian: The Rare Malaysian Gem Every Durian Lover Must Try

Why Blackthorn is taking Singapore by storm — and why Jiak Durian Mai brings you the best of it.

If you think Musang King is the peak of durian perfection… think again.
There’s another contender that durian fanatics all over Malaysia and Singapore whisper about — the legendary Blackthorn Durian, known for its superior sweetness, thick custard texture, and rare availability.

If you’ve never tried Blackthorn, today you’re about to discover why it has become one of Malaysia’s most celebrated, award-winning durians — and why Jiak Durian Mai proudly brings it fresh to your doorstep.

🌳 What Exactly Is Blackthorn Durian?

Blackthorn (D200) is a premium durian variety originating from Penang, later cultivated in select orchards across northern Malaysia. It is easily recognized by its signature feature:

👉 A dark, thorn-like stem protruding from the durian’s bottom — the “black thorn” that gives it its name.

But what really makes Blackthorn famous is not its appearance…
It’s the next-level flavour.

😋 Taste Profile: Why Blackthorn Is Compared to “Durian Jam”

Among premium durians, Blackthorn is known for its incredibly complex flavour, often described as:

Ultra creamy & custard-like
Sweet upfront, bitter at the finish
Smooth, thick, sticky flesh
Rich aroma with a caramel-like depth

Many durian experts describe the texture as “jammy” — thicker and more velvety than MSW.
If you enjoy premium bittersweet durians, Blackthorn offers the best balance of sweet AND bitter in one bite.

🏆 Award-Winning & Highly Coveted

Blackthorn didn’t become famous overnight. It earned its reputation by winning multiple Malaysia Durian King Competitions, beating even top Musang King cultivars.

Why is it so prized?

🌱 Low-yield trees
🌱 Long maturation period
🌱 More labour-intensive harvesting
🌱 Grown only by selective, experienced orchards

This means supply is extremely limited, making Blackthorn one of Malaysia’s rarest and most exclusive durians.

🌱 Why Is Blackthorn So Rare?

Here’s what many customers don’t know — Blackthorn trees produce fewer fruits per season compared to other premium varieties. The fruits also take longer to develop, and only a handful of orchards grow them due to the extra care needed.

This is why the price of Blackthorn is higher, and stock sells out fast.

At Jiak Durian Mai, we work directly with trusted orchard partners to secure small-batch, freshly dropped Blackthorn during the season — no old stock, no “leftover” fruits.
