Dole Golden Puyat Durian debuted at an international exhibition for the first time, and the newbie in the durian industry stunned the audience
Dole Philippine Golden Puyat durian entered China for the first time in 2023. As an internationally renowned fruit company, Dole has become the first brand to introduce Philippine durian to China. Through this exhibition, Dole Philippines Golden Puyat durian also made its debut on the international stage.
Dole Golden Puyat Durian
Dole Philippines Golden Puyat Durian is produced in Davao City, the "City of Durian". Davao has a monsoon tropical rainforest climate, surrounded by mountains, with a significant maritime climate. The precipitation, temperature, humidity and air pressure fluctuate little throughout the year, and the sunshine is sufficient. The temperature is always at the optimal growth temperature of durian, 20~32°C, which is very conducive to the development of the durian industry.
The unique climate of Davao, the "City of Durian", is very suitable for the growth of durian
Dole Golden Puyat durians are picked from old trees that are more than 20 years old. Unlike other fruit trees that can bear fruit within 2-3 years of planting, durian trees begin to bear fruit after at least 5 years of growth, and normally can not bear fruit until the 8th year. Also, Dole adheres to its consistently high standards. From picking the fruit on the tree to final packing and transportation, it must go through three grading and screening processes to ensure that the durians with the best maturity are finally exported to the Chinese market. After picking, there are about 10 cycles of cleaning and processing, and each piece must go through layers of inspection and professional quality control by local senior fruit connoisseurs to ensure that all the fresh fruits that reach the consumers are A-grade Puyat durians. Each one is a 4-room pulp. The mellow and rich durian's unique sweetness fills the taste buds in the mouth, followed by the delicate and soft custard-like flesh that fills the mouth. In addition, Philippine Golden Puyat durian has a small pit and a very high meat yield, so you can truly eat durian without any disappointment.
