Quinces - (kg)

Fresh Quinces are a unique aromatic fruit related to apples and pears, known for their distinctive irregular shape, firm texture and beautiful golden-yellow colour when ripe. Their tough skin can have a slightly fuzzy texture, while the raw flesh is firm and naturally astringent.

Once cooked, Fresh Quinces develop a softer texture, rich fragrance and delicious combination of sweet, tart and floral flavours. They are especially popular for making preserves, jams, jellies, sauces and desserts.
