This aromatic fruit is an integral part of Dalmatian culture - generations ago the fruit was placed in closets, where it slowly released a light fragrance of apple, pear, vanilla, and citrus, which permeated throughout the house. Among the rarer fruits, when cooked, quince harnesses those delicate flavors and aromas and transforms into a deep rosy- pink color.

This and its Prosperous symbols of love and luck, earn it a prominent place in the heart of Dalmatias culture. Try with a sheeps milk cheese, like Pecorino Romano spread onto warm bread with whipped, unsalted butter pair with Manchego and Marcona almonds try on panini with serrano ham, aged Provolone, and a touch of balsamic glaze fold into fresh ricotta cheese with crushed pistachios
