The poor old quince, although once very popular in our fruit pies and sauces, doesn’t get used much in British cuisine these days, but it again is coming back - believe me. This dish is not exactly a cheese in our terms, but a fruit preserve that goes particularly well with most hard and blue cheese. In Spain, this paste, known there as membrillo, is extremely common.
