Our artisan quince paste is made from 100% natural membrillo made using only quince, sugar and a touch of lemon. Compared to the ‘Dulce de Membrillo’ which uses a starch based filler to produce a less strong flavour, this membrillo has an intense colour; deep, rich quince flavour and a thick, creamy consistency.

Our quince paste can be cut into thin slices and spread over toasted bread or sandwiches, plain or with cheese, often served for breakfast or as a snack, with manchego cheese or any hard cured cheese. It is very often used to stuff pastries.

The company JOSE PELLUZ BERNAL was established in 1980 by José Pelluz along with his wife Montserrat Esteban. They started in the food sector in a small district of the Region of Murcia located on the southeast of Spain, close to the Mediterranean Sea.

Together, they undertook a fascinating adventure: manufacturing traditional products based on traditional recipes, which they used to sell in local markets.
The first product they began their enterprise with was FIG CAKE WITH ALMONDS, the flagship product of the company for many years. This was the product which made known the brand 'De Juan' as a symbol of tradition and exemplary flavour.

They started this project with the help of a small number of collaborators (mostly family and friends) who, in a short time, managed to transform around 1 ton of product per month.
