Quince
Quince is a fruit deeply rooted in Portuguese tradition, especially in autumn confectionery. Used since ancient times for the production of quince paste (marmelada), it is known for its slightly acidic flavor and firm texture that, when cooked, transforms into an aromatic and delicate pulp. In Portugal, quince is a symbol of homemade recipes passed down from generation to generation, evoking family memories and the essence of traditional cooking.

Its strong presence provides warmth, depth, and a characteristic aroma that enriches any recipe. In this jam, clove harmonizes with the smoothness of quince, creating a fusion of flavors that results in authenticity and sophistication, recalling Portugal’s historical connection with spices.
From the tradition of Portuguese quince to the aromatic exoticism of clove, this combination reflects the essence of our gastronomic heritage. A jam that celebrates the memory, intensity, and authenticity of the true Flavors of Portugal.
