Historical information on quinces and the Certosa of Florence

The quince, a fruit with a millennia-old history, was already prized by the ancient Greeks and Romans, who considered it a symbol of fertility and love. Its scientific name, Cydonia oblonga, derives from Cydon, the ancient city of Crete, where it was widely cultivated.

The tradition of transforming this fruit into jams and jellies is rooted in history, as the quince is not edible raw. In this context of ancient wisdom, the Certosa di Firenze, founded in the 14th century, has preserved and passed down the secrets of artisanal production, combining spirituality with the art of making.

The production of this jam, therefore, is not just a culinary process, but a practice that unites history, faith, and nature.

Beneficial properties of Quince Jam and Orange Honey

This jam is not only a delight for the palate, but also a panacea for well-being.

The combination of these two ingredients creates a product that nourishes the body and spirit, offering a tasty and healthy experience with every spoonful.
