Our Products

Naked Quince
Our most minimalist recipe. Just quince, sugar, and lemon juice.
Cardamom Quince
Authentic Iranian recipe. My friend Noori agrees: ‘It is like my mom used to make it back home.’ Cardamom’s intense flavor gives a distinct brightness to quince preserves.
Rose Quince
Enriched by rose water. Made from rose petals, this essence contains powerful antioxidants and has a relaxing effect on your nervous system. If cardamom quince brightens your day and attitude, a delicate taste of rose quince relaxes and calms you.
Wholesome Quince
Avoiding sugar and extra carbs? This recipe replaces sugar with spices: cinnamon, cloves, vanilla, and cardamom. It still tastes sweet but contains 75% less sugar than the original recipe.
Honey Spice
Honey Spice has no added sugar. Just a bit of honey and brightness of spices: cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg, vanilla, and ginger.
Quince Chutney
The raw power of quince spiced up with ginger, red pepper, cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg, and a light touch of molasses is the preferred choice of the strictest vegans.
Quince & Cran
The sweet is never as sweet without the sour. We combine quince and cranberries, some sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice to make this a healthy and bright treat.
Quince & Plum
Try our newest recipe. The luxurious smoothness of plum meets the distinct texture of quince.

Health Benefits

Quince fruit offers numerous health benefits due to its rich nutritional profile. Packed with dietary fiber, it aids digestion, promotes gut health, and helps regulate blood sugar levels. It is also a good source of vitamin C, which boosts the immune system, supports skin health, and acts as an antioxidant to combat free radicals. Additionally, quince contains antioxidants like quercetin and kaempferol, which may reduce inflammation and lower the risk of chronic diseases. Its potassium content supports heart health by maintaining healthy blood pressure, making quince a valuable addition to a balanced diet.

Our Mission

Quince is a labor of love for us. Once we’ve discovered the joy of quince, we saw the need to share it with others. Quince is not a widely known fruit outside specific parts of the world. It is underappreciated in the United States. Yet it is magic – with its delightful fragrance, brilliant color when cooked with sugar, robust texture, versatile and complex taste that complements different types of cheeses, yogurt, and other foods. Quince has added yet another tangent of brightness and flavor to our busy and already fulfilled lives. We hope we can help you to discover a new bright spot for your life, too!
