Membrillo/Quince Paste (3360)

Thick enough to slice and serve. Quince paste, also referred to as membrillo, is commonly used in Spain, where tapas restaurants serve squares of manchego cheese topped with a square of quince paste and speared with a toothpick. The combination of savory, salty cheese and sweet quince complement each other well. Add quince paste to your next cheese presentation alongside a variety of nuts. You can also use quince paste as a spread on sandwiches, as a filling in pastries or as a flavoring element for main dishes. It cooks beautifully as a sweet counterpoint to meats; try adding it to compotes and pan sauces to enhance the flavor of pork. It also combines well with cream cheese in either a spread or a filling.
