Santa Teresa Quince Paste - 1.4kg

Santa Teresa Quince Paste – 1.4kg

Santa Teresa has been producing quince paste in the World Heritage city of Ávila, Spain, since 1900. Crafted using fresh, Spanish-grown quince, the fruit is peeled, poached, and slowly cooked with only sugar and lemon juice, ensuring a pure, natural flavour.

Unlike mass-produced quince pastes that rely on imported pulps, thickeners, stabilisers, and preservatives, this artisanal version retains the true essence of quince—fruity and slightly tannic with a firm, sliceable texture.

Tasting Notes

• Flavour: Naturally sweet with a balanced fruitiness and gentle tannins
• Texture: Firm, smooth, and sliceable
• Aroma: Delicate quince fragrance with a hint of citrus

Serving Suggestions

• Perfect for cheese boards, pairing exceptionally well with Manchego, aged Cheddar, or blue cheeses
• For fromageries, simply turn out of its mould, cut, and wrap into custom portions
• Ideal for pastry work—cut into slices and bake into Danishes, doughnuts, pies, or tarts
• Serve with toasted nuts, figs, or membrillo tapas for a classic Spanish pairing
