Product Information
The quince has quite the reputation. Plutarch has his character Solon decree that "bride and bridegroom shall be shut into a chamber, and eat a quince together”.
Cervantes’ protagonist in El licenciado Vidriera develops the delusion that he is made of glass after he eats a quince.
Quince trees are planted in the Balkans to symbolise fertility, love and life.
We’re here to confirm that all you need to expect from our Quince Jelly is deliciousness: no need for a marriage or concerns about morphing into glass or needing to think twice about fertility, love and life.
Quince Musings
“In early spring, the beginning of the special season of love, the five sepals of each quince flower bend back from a remarkably firm bud, which is pointed, and at first less pink than brown. The bud swells and stands erect, opening to its rose-like shape of tender pink, each petal lightly netted and veined.” The Goddess of Love by Geoffrey Grigson
