DaMorgada Quince paste is made according to ancient recipes. Honey was used initially and only later in the 1800's, was replaced by sugar cane, by the nuns at the Odivelas monastery. The sugar cane was bought by Portuguese from archipelago of Madeira and Brazil through the route of sugar.

Is a wonderful accompaniment to cheese plates. It has a sweet delicate, floral taste and is amber in colour with a dense texture. Served with a hard or semi hard cheese such as raw milk manchego is a match made in heaven.
