Membrillo and Cheese
I love Spanish food, and one of my favorite desserts is membrillo and cheese. Membrillo is a type of quince paste, resembling a golden brick of jelly. It’s served in slices and tastes best when coupled with the local sheep’s milk cheese.
I discovered this wonderful combination of taste and texture years ago, when visiting my relatives in the Basque Country of Spain. It’s a treat that lingers in the memory, long after the meal has passed. Delicious – and highly recommended to all!

Hmmm . . . a gelatinous brick doesn’t sound so good. But I’m a very adventurous eater and we’ll be in Spain this summer, so, thanks to your recommendation I’ll probably give it a try!
Sonja, Okay, so I agree it doesn’t look (or sound) so good, but you won’t regret giving it a try! And you have to taste it with a little piece of cheese. I think it’s the combination of flavors and textures that is especially appealing.
