Marmelada 400g

Product Overview

• The "Marmelo" (Quince): Made from 100% natural quinces, which are slow-cooked with sugar until they reach a deep reddish-amber color and a firm, jelly-like consistency.
• Texture: Unlike international jams, Trevi Marmelada is firm enough to be sliced with a knife into clean wedges.
• Aromatic Profile: Offers a unique, floral sweetness with a slight tartness, characteristic of the ancient quince fruit.
• Traditional Packaging: Usually comes in a 450g tub or tray, which allows it to set in its characteristic block shape.

Key Culinary Uses

1. Romeu e Julieta (Romeo & Juliet): The ultimate Portuguese snack pairing—a slice of Trevi Marmelada topped with a slice of Queijo da Serra or a mild buttery cheese like Paiva Amanteigado.
2. Bread & Crackers: A classic breakfast or afternoon "lanche" topping for toasted bread, Maria biscuits, or water crackers.
3. Baking Filling: Often used as a center for traditional cookies or as a layer in tarts and "Bolo de Bolacha" variations.
4. Energy Snack: Because of its high natural sugar content and portability, it has long been a traditional "energy bar" for workers and students.
