1. Introduction to Monthong Durian

Monthong Durian (also known as DONA durian in Vietnam) is the most sought-after variety for international export. At Vinahugo, our Monthong durians are grown in the basaltic soil of the Central Highlands and the fertile Mekong Delta, regions that produce the highest quality fruits with a signature creamy texture.

Monthong, which translates to “Golden Pillow” in Thai, is famous for its large size, small seeds, and thick, pale yellow flesh. Unlike other varieties, Monthong has a mild, pleasant aroma and a sophisticated sweetness that appeals to both durian connoisseurs and first-time tasters.
