FRUIT CAKES

Since the Moorish occupation of Spain during the 9th century, honey and ­almonds have been cultivated and turned into sweet, dense cakes of dried fruits and nuts. These fruit cakes are crafted by Alquimia Murcia, a beloved confectionery in Spain specializing in traditional dried fruit products. They use only all-natural, high quality ingredients with no added preservatives to create these fine specialty cakes.

QUINCE PASTE MEMBRILLO

The quince is a small deciduous tree that is indeed related to the apple and the pear, that once was considered divine. This fruit is well-known across Spain for the exquisite recipes made with it, such as quince paste. This unique fruit is typically cooked to yield a sweet, candied paste called membrillo. This classic condiment is often enjoyed with cheese. It offers a soft, sweet contrast to the saltiness of traditional Spanish cheeses like Manchego and Cabrales. 563761 12/300 G 563767 3/3.4 KG
