Quince and walnut
Quince has a unique flavour: sweet and slightly tart, with aromas of autumn fruit. The walnuts bring texture and a toasted note that balances the sweetness.
Sliced thin, it shows its amber colour and its firmness, the sign of slow, careful cooking.
Estepa, a town of confectioners
La Despensa de Palacio makes its sweets in Estepa, in the Seville countryside, a town whose name has been tied for centuries to confectioners’ workshops, toasted sugar and the scent of almonds drifting out of kitchens when the cold arrives.
That inherited craft shows in every piece: patient recipes, carefully made boxes and a way of seeing sweets as a small luxury to share.
How to enjoy Quince paste with walnuts
- With aged Manchego or sheep’s cheese.
- With mató or ricotta.
- On a cheese board.
- On toast as a snack.
The classic partner is aged cheese, and not by chance: the salt and richness of the cheese find their perfect contrast in quince. It is also lovely with fresh mató or on toast with a thread of extra virgin olive oil.
The 700 g box
It is a generous size, meant for families or for cheese boards with guests. Once opened, it is best kept tightly closed somewhere cool.
