How do I use Dulcor Dulce de Membrillo in recipes?

Quince paste can be used straight from the block, warmed, or incorporated into recipes. It pairs especially well with mild, creamy cheeses, baked goods, and as a filling for tarts or empanadas. A small amount goes a long way because of its concentrated sweetness and firm texture.

• Slice thinly to serve with Manchego, Brie, or goat cheese for a classic pairing.
• Warm gently and spread on toast, pancakes, or croissants for quick fruity richness.
• Use as a filling for tartlets, turnovers, or as a glaze for roasted fruit desserts.
• Blend with nuts or soft cheese to make canapés and hors d'oeuvres.

What is the best way to store and keep it fresh?

Unopened, the sealed block keeps shelf-stable until the printed date. After opening, store refrigerated in an airtight container or wrapped tightly to maintain firmness and avoid drying. Proper storage preserves flavor and prevents the paste from becoming overly hard.

• Keep unopened in a cool, dry pantry away from direct sunlight.
• Wrap with plastic or place in a resealable container after slicing.
• Refrigerate once opened and consume within recommended days for optimal texture.
• If too firm, briefly warm slices to soften for spreading or serving.

How does Dulce de Membrillo improve a cheese or dessert board?

The firm, slightly tart sweetness of quince paste balances salty and creamy components on a board.

It creates an upscale, easy-to-assemble centerpiece for entertaining.

• Add geometric slices for a refined presentation and tidy portions.
• Pair with aged cheeses to cut richness and refresh the palate.
• Combine with toasted nuts or quince compote for layered textures.
• Use as an edible garnish for individual cheese tastings and plates.
