🧪 Ingredients

The recipe for El Quijote Sweet Quince With No Added Sugars replaces regular sugar with sweeteners and fiber to maintain the characteristic texture:

1. Quince pulp (65%): A higher fruit percentage than in many standard versions.

2. Sweeteners: Maltitol and sucralose.

3. Soluble plant fiber: It is usually inulin, which provides texture and a prebiotic (“bifidus”) effect.

4. Others: Thickener (carrageenan), acidulant (citric acid) and preservative (sodium benzoate).

💡 Points to keep in mind

• Laxative effect: Because it contains maltitol, excessive consumption may have laxative effects. It is recommended to enjoy it in moderation.

• Flavor and Texture: It is somewhat softer than the traditional one, but it retains very well the aroma of the quince from Puente Genil (Córdoba), where the brand originates.

• Pairing: It is the classic companion to cheese (especially fresh cheese, Burgos cheese, or cured sheep cheese) and nuts.

Note: It is usually presented in a rectangular plastic tub of 400 g, easy to store in the fridge once opened.
