Fruit pastes

Membrillo (quince) paste This artisan quince jelly, or “membrillo” from Catalonia is made using carefully selected quinces, combined with lemon juice, cinnamon and apple. No artificial flavour or colouring is added. It has a smooth rich texture that leaves a tangy, sweet aftertaste and is a superb accompaniment to Manchego cheeses. Awarded Bronze in the Great Taste Awards 2006

Naranja (orange) paste Spanish oranges are particularly sweet because they are exposed to so much sunshine during ripening.
Oranges are bought locally and turned first into a pulp and then into the jelly paste, which can be enjoyed with full-flavoured cheeses, cured hams, pork loins etc as well as being used by patissiers and by chefs as a glaze for roasted meats.
