Santa Teresa organic quince paste is a bright, tart, non-GMO spread with tangy yet delicately sweet flavors of Spanish quince. It’s made by cooking fresh (not frozen) quince fruits with nothing but some high-quality cane sugar and a dash of lemon juice, resulting in a paste that’s full of natural flavors and nuanced undertones!
Quince or Membrillo is one of the most beloved fruits in Spain. Harvested in late autumn, this incredibly aromatic product is a staple in any Andalusian kitchen and will, more often than not, be turned into jelly, or carne de membrillo, as a way of preserving it for longer. Quince jams and jellies are the perfect tart spreads, with a mix of sweet and sour flavors not unlike those of apples and pears. You can find variations of membrillo, as well as other fruit preserves, in our selection of Spanish jams & preserves!
Santa Teresa was founded in 1959 through the joined effort of 37 farmers. It was the first olive oil company in Spain to get approved by the Ministry of Agriculture of the Junta de Andalucía. The brand mainly specializes in producing Spanish olive oils and preserves, and it’s renowned for utilizing the millennial olive fruit of Osuna, along with varieties like Hojiblanca, Lechin, and Manzanilla. With premium-quality ingredients and masterful recipes, Santa Teresa has become a brand associated with reliability and integrity!
Organic quince paste by Santa Teresa will pair well with your morning porridge, toast, as well as your favorite sweet vanilla bean ice cream! For a more elevated culinary experience, you should try combining it with Manchego cheese and a glass of Spanish rioja wine! You can also find plenty of other intriguing pairings in our Spanish online grocery store!
