Quince Extra Jam with Clove

Quince Extra Jam with Clove

€5,90

Inspired by the classic pairing of quince and cheese, this jam transforms a Portuguese tradition into a more aromatic, warm, and gastronomic experience.

Quince Extra Jam with Clove combines the fruity delicacy of Portuguese quince with the intense perfume of clove, the warm smoothness of cinnamon, and the balancing freshness of lemon. The result is a velvety, spiced, and deeply comforting profile, with controlled sweetness and a lingering aromatic finish.

Quince brings a soft texture, slightly tangy freshness, and an immediate connection to traditional Portuguese preserves. Clove adds a deeper and more enveloping note, making the flavor more mature and gastronomic. Cinnamon reinforces comfort, while lemon prevents the profile from becoming overly heavy.

In cheese pairings, it is especially strong with intense cheeses. Aged goat cheese, Roquefort, Gorgonzola, sheep’s milk cheeses, aged cheeses, and semi-aged cheeses create contrasts between saltiness, creaminess, fruit, and warm spices.

In savory dishes, it pairs beautifully with roasted meats such as pork, duck, and game meats. The quince softens more robust flavors, while the clove adds aromatic depth and a spiced finish. On rustic bread, toast, and tasting boards, it works as a classic, elegant, and deeply Portuguese accent.

Usage Suggestions

Strong Cheeses & Blue Cheeses

Excellent with Roquefort, Gorgonzola, and other mold-ripened cheeses. The delicate sweetness of quince balances the saltiness, while clove adds depth.

Goat Cheese & Sheep’s Milk Cheeses

Pairs beautifully with aged goat cheese, sheep’s milk cheeses, and semi-aged cheeses, creating a rich, classic, and aromatic tasting experience.

Aged Cheeses

Ideal with aged cheeses with persistent flavor, where the fruity and spiced profile helps balance richness and fat.

Roasted Meats

Perfect with pork loin, roasted duck, and oven-roasted meats. The quince creates a sweet-savory contrast, while the clove enhances the warm side of the dish.

Game Meats

Works very well with game dishes such as venison or wild boar, where the spiced note adds depth and elegance.

Rustic Bread & Toast

Serve with rye bread, rustic bread, thin toast, or crackers, especially with aged cheese or mild fresh cheese.

Tasting Boards

Excellent on boards with cheeses, mild cured meats, nuts, and artisan bread, creating a traditional and gastronomic touch.
