Don Gastronom Quince Paste is a sweet, firm paste perfect for slicing on to a cheese board with strong cheeses and prosciutto. Known in Spain as “membrillo,” this beloved snack manages to be simultaneously tart and fruity and very, very floral.
Don Gastronom started out in 1966 as a family business catching and tinning fish and seafood from Spain’s Galician coast. Even today, the pretty Don Gastronom factory receives its catch fresh every day from its own small dock, preserving the exclusive taste of its gourmet seafood line. But the family also realized that international consumers were missing out on a whole world of traditional Spanish delicacies, produced lovingly to traditional recipes using superb local ingredients. Don Gastronom reached out to local producers throughout Spain, many also family-run businesses, and expanded its lineup to include gourmet items from the Canary Islands to Madrid and beyond. Products like the rich, dense Don Gastronom Quince Paste are perfect for those who appreciate the fine flavours of traditional Spanish cuisine!
