Strangely enough, tiesa was one of my favorites when I was a child. We had a tiesa tree then and one time, I harvested half a sack. Little did I know that they would get ripened all at the same time. So I have to eat as much as I could before it would get rotten. hehehe

I miss tiesa and I miss our tiesa tree. :)

I think one reason why many people have horrid experiences with the chessa or tiyesa is simply because they eat at the wrong time, when it isn’t really that ripe yet. Eating a tiyesa is like eating an avocado: you simply wait for the right moment when the flesh is no longer hardy but soft.
I haven’t eaten a tiyesa since my grade school days when a tiyesa tree grew in our tiny school in Pasay, but I actually miss it. Sure, it aint caviar or foie gras, but still, it was palatable enough for God to give it a chance on this earth to grow.

Sometimes, you just don’t like its taste and it sticks to your upper mouth. Sometimes, its like durian. You have to eat only half and you’ve got enough. My husband cools it and it tasted goog. It neer gets frozen even if you keep it in the freezer.

Sorry, I know this is an old post, but I found it while searching for info on Chessa, and I just HAD to comment.

I just tried Chessa yesterday for the first time – found it lying on the ground under the tree – and it was LOVE at first bite!
I was at a family friends farm, and we were supposed to be harvesting veggies, but after that first bite of Chessa, we were completely distracted and spent the next 45 minutes or so trying to wack a few more off the tree haha. Alas, we were unable to get any more :(. Luckily we had found one more lying on the ground, and we took it home as a prized jewel.

I discovered that night that you can’t eat too much of it at a time because it’s really RICH. So we still had half a fruit left over this morning – and MMMMMMM it was good with pancakes!!

So I don’t know what’s wrong with all of you….heheh, but I say Chessa ROCKS! Can’t wait to find some more… :D
