Here are some details that make it special:

What does “First Quality” really mean?

In the world of quince, the categories are regulated. For this product to be of First Quality means that:

• It has a higher fruit content than the “standard” or “quince cream” versions.

• It does not use fillings of other fruits (such as apple or pumpkin) to reduce costs; the absolute star is the quince (Cydonia oblonga).

• The pectin present is the natural pectin from the fruit, which gives it that firm consistency but that melts in the mouth.

The “Convenience” Format

The 400g size is strategically designed. In the European market, consumers prefer formats that can be consumed in a short period to ensure freshness:

• Hygiene: The packaging (usually an airtight plastic tub) protects the candy from external odors in the refrigerator.

• Perfect cut: As it is a compact piece, it allows the cutting into exact “slices,” something highly valued for cheese tapas or for placing on top of toast.

Health Arguments for Europe

Although it is a sweet treat, El Quijote Fist-Class Sweet Quince has properties that the European market values ​​positively:

• Astringent Properties: It is known for its benefits to the digestive system.

• Low in Fat: Unlike other desserts or cocoa creams, quince has 0% saturated fat.

• High in Potassium: Helps prevent cramps and is a natural energy source for children and athletes.

Interesting fact about its manufacture

So that the 400g El Quijote Quince always maintains the same color and flavor, the company uses a blend of quince varieties harvested at their optimal point of ripeness. The secret lies in slow cooking, which naturally caramelizes the fruit’s sugars, giving it that reddish-golden tone without the need for artificial colorants.
