Organic Membrillo Quince Paste

DESCRIPTION

Authentic membrillo quince paste made from fresh, selected membrillo fruit, without preservatives or artificial additives and made only with simple and organic ingredients.

Santa Teresa crafts this popular Spanish delicatessen using the same quince paste recipe that's been passed down for 150 years. They cook fresh yellow-gold quince fruit with raw cane sugar and a touch of lemon juice, unlike others that use canned or frozen fruit. Quince has been cherished in Spain for centuries as a symbol of love and fertility. Our paste boasts a sweet, natural fruity taste and is packed with minerals, fiber, and potassium.

How to eat membrillo?

It is perfect for meat dishes, recipes needing a touch of sweetness, and it's fantastic for making sweets. It also goes amazingly well with cheeses; try it on a cracker with aged Manchego or any cured cheese for a delicious combination.
