Membrillo is a jelly made from quince, a medieval Mediterranean fruit that is the European predecessor of the apple. We are proud to offer the finest classic membrillo quince preserve of Spain! This fine offering has been rated the very best by 'Lo Mejor de Gastronomia de Espana' - the definitive annual rating book on Spanish food.
'Santa Teresa’ brand is made in Avila, the home town of St Teresa, the 17th C mystic. The renowned producer from Avila uses 100% fresh membrillo fruit, instead of concentrate or frozen fruit.
The resulting jelly is a natural companion to a well-cured Manchego or Zamorano cheese. It can also be used instead of jam on bread, turnovers and other pastries. I think the flavor has overtones of cranberry.
This wooden box holds two large portions of membrillo, each tightly sealed for freshness in an individually sealed plastic tray, which in turn is place in a tasteful wooden gift box. What a great way to share this uniquely Spanish dessert!
