Membrillo Quince Paste
This traditional Spanish quince paste is fruity and balanced yet not overly sweet. It is made with just local quince, sugar and lemon and pairs with a wide array of cheeses. Ruby red in color with a firm texture, it has the naturally sweet-tart flavor of quince, a fruit reminiscent of apple and pear. A touch of sugar and lemon preserves its bright, fresh flavor. Quince has been a symbol of good luck and fertility for thousands of years. Its real magic lies in the kitchen; its lovely flavor is only released upon slowly cooking the fruit down with sugar for many hours, creating soft, sweet, and fragrant membrillo. It is a staple of Spanish cuisine and is often paired with cheese. Membrillo Mitica® is made in Valencia, Spain. Their recipe contains just three ingredients, with no preservatives or additives. The naturally high pectin content in the Valencian quince gives the paste its firm and jelly-like texture. Made by hand the old-fashioned way, this membrillo is less sugary and fresher tasting than many commercially produced varieties.
