Paiarrop Membrillo Quince Paste 140g

Membrillo Quince Paste

Paiarrop Membrillo Quince Paste is a traditional Spanish fruit paste with a firm, sliceable texture and a naturally sweet, aromatic flavour. Made using just quinces and sugar, this classic membrillo has a deep amber colour and a gentle floral note that pairs beautifully with savoury ingredients.

Produced in Valencia using time-honoured methods, the paste is cooked slowly to concentrate the fruit’s flavour, resulting in a smooth yet dense consistency that can be sliced, spread, or diced. The balance of sweetness and subtle acidity makes it particularly well suited to cheese, where it brings contrast and depth without overpowering.

Often served alongside Manchego, quince paste is a staple on Spanish cheese boards, but its versatility goes further. It can be used to add a touch of sweetness to savoury dishes or simply enjoyed as part of a relaxed spread with bread and accompaniments.
