About Quince paste
Quince paste, also known as membrillo, is a sweet, jelly-like confection made from quince fruit, sugar, and water. This traditional delicacy originates from Spain and is widely used in Mediterranean cuisines. The preparation involves cooking quince until soft, blending into a puree, and simmering with sugar to create a thick, concentrated paste. Often served alongside cheese, its natural tartness complements savory flavors, making it a popular pairing for charcuterie boards. Quince paste is high in carbohydrates and sugar, providing quick energy but lacking significant protein or fiber. While it contains vitamin C and antioxidants from the quince fruit, its high sugar content makes it a treat best enjoyed in moderation. Its vibrant flavor and texture make it a versatile addition to both desserts and appetizers, showcasing the historic culinary use of quince in Mediterranean cooking.
