Mabolo also known as Velvet Apple is native to the Philippines with its tree known as Kamagong.  The fruit often grow in pairs of threes on opposite sides of a branch. The Mabolo fruit has a thin, brownish-maroon skin coated with golden-brown hair. The skin gives off a strong, unpleasant cheesy odor, but once peeled off, the fruit is quite odor free and has a distinct, sweetish flavor. 

The fruit is considered a fairly good source of iron and calcium and a good source of vitamin B.
