This elegant paste is crafted in small batches and designed to pair effortlessly with both soft and hard cheeses, adding rich fruit depth without overwhelming texture.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(48, 76, 69);\"\u003eMade from spray-free fruit from Stanthorpe in Queensland to create this beautiful Quince Paste. Due to the long, slow growing season of quince they often get damaged during hail storms. These fruit show large, indented scars and make them unsuitable for the fresh produce market. Ugly Duck are willing to spend some extra work in the kitchen to cut out all those damages and make use of the fragrant leftover fruit flesh.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(48, 76, 69);\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Producer\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(48, 76, 69);\"\u003eUgly Duck Fine Foods is a Brisbane‑based artisan brand with a purpose: to rescue fruit that might be rejected for cosmetic reasons and turn it into flavour‑rich condiments.
