Quince and Damson Heart Shaped Fruit Cheese

A beautifully presented and very tasty quince and Damson Fruit Cheese. A beautiful match with cheese and meats.

2* GOLD GREAT TASTE AWARD WINNER 2005. Fruit cheeses are not Cheese but a very heavy fruit puree and known as cheeses since Georgian Times when they were eaten with Cheese!

It goes well with all cheeses but is an ideal accompaniment for blue cheese. For the more adventurous Quince and Damson Fruit Cheese marries extremely well with pheasant and duck in either a sauce or stuffing. According to producer Colin Wainwright it is even better when eaten with fruit and cream! The golden quinces that to the ancient Greeks symbolised love and happiness were brought to England by the Romns. The true quince is an exotic fruit that resembles a yellow/golden pear. It originates from the Middle East and is also grown in Australia. Quince was again popular in Elizabethan times and believed to be an aphrodisiac- a reputation it still has in the Middle East.
