Quince Cheese
Quince Cheese is a special Hungarian dessert that has been part of eating habits for centuries. The distinctive spicy and slightly tart taste of quince perfectly harmonizes with sugar, with the help of which we can make a thick, jelly-like dessert from the fruit. The finished quince cheese is traditionally cut into slices and often placed on the table in the winter months, but it can be a perfect addition to a hearty lunch or festive dinner at any time. The special smell and taste of quince always makes the moments when we consume it memorable.
Quince cheese is not only delicious, but also serves as a real energy bomb, as quince is full of vitamins and minerals that have a beneficial effect on our health.
