Santa Teresa Quince Paste - Ctn 12 x 170g

Santa Teresa Quince Paste

These 170g portions are packaged for retail sale and can be displayed on the shelf without refrigeration, making them a convenient option for speciality food stores, delis, and cheesemongers.

This is one of the finest quince pastes available, made by Santa Teresa in the World Heritage city of Ávila, Spain, where they have been crafting authentic Membrillo for well over a century.

Using only fresh, Spanish-grown quince, the fruit is peeled, poached, and slowly cooked with just sugar and lemon juice. This stands in stark contrast to mass-produced quince pastes, which often rely on imported pulps, thickeners, stabilisers, and preservatives.

With its naturally fruity, slightly tannic flavour and firm, sliceable texture, this quince paste is a perfect pairing for cheese boards and gourmet applications.
