Description
This firm, concentrated guava paste is a high-density fruit solid that can be easily sliced or cubed. It possesses a deep brick-red color and an intense, jammy guava flavor that is far more concentrated than a standard fruit spread.
In culinary terms, it is famously used in “Romeo and Juliet” pairings—slices of guava paste served on top of firm white cheese (like Manchego or Queso Fresco). It also serves as a stable, non-runny filling for heavy doughs and “hojaldres” (puff pastries), where it melts slightly but maintains its position during the baking process.
Ingredients: Guava pulp, sugar, acid (citric acid).
