Membrillo, Artisan Quince Paste

Membrillo, Artisan Quince Paste, is a handcrafted Spanish condiment traditionally used to complement cheeses and cured meats. This artisanal membrillo offers a fragrant, firm texture characteristic of classic Spanish quince paste. It is specifically designed to enhance cheese pairings, especially with aged cheeses like Manchego.

The product is made from carefully selected quince fruit, sugar, and pectin. The quince fruit is cooked down with sugar to produce a dense, jelly-like paste. No artificial colors or preservatives are added, ensuring a natural, authentic flavor profile. The texture is firm yet sliceable, suitable for presentation on cheese boards.

Dimensions

The paste is typically presented in a 250-gram (8.8-ounce) block or jar, with dimensions approximately 3 inches (7.6 cm) by 3 inches (7.6 cm) and a height of around 0.5 inches (1.3 cm). It weighs 250 grams and is designed to serve 8–10 people when accompanied by cheeses and charcuterie.
