Rex Membrillo Quince Paste

Rex Membrillo Quince Paste, also known as dulce de membrillo, is made from quince fruit and crafted in Spain. The result is a thick, glossy jelly with a bright, floral aroma and a balanced sweet-tart flavor that lingers on the palate. This traditional paste lets the natural character of quince shine through, while its rich texture makes it a standout addition to many dishes.

Visual and sensory notes: The paste carries a warm amber-gold color and a luxuriously smooth mouthfeel; the floral aroma hints at honey and citrus, inviting curiosity with every slice.

Ideal for cheese boards and beyond

On a cheese board, a thin slice creates a gentle counterpoint to soft cheeses and crusty bread. It is a classic companion to Manchego, where the fruity sweetness and light acidity highlight the cheese’s creaminess. Beyond boards, quince paste shines in baking as a sweet filling or glaze for cakes, cookies, tarts, and pastries.

• Cheese boards and charcuterie: a balanced bite with soft cheeses such as Manchego
• Baked goods: use in quince cakes, cookies, tarts, and puff pastries
• Pairings: crusty bread, almonds, and a glass of white wine to finish a plate

Making and ingredients: Rex Membrillo is crafted from fresh quince and sugar with water and a short list of stabilizers to achieve its thick, sliceable texture. It is imported from Spain, reflecting a traditional approach to quince processing that preserves bright color and aroma.

• Ingredients and texture: quince, sugar, water with carrageenan 407 and locust bean gum 410 for structure
