Quince candy is obtained from sifted healthy fruit, which is mixed with fructose and pectin. It is heated to 100-105 oC to develop the pectin and make it easier for the fructose to penetrate inside the fruit and thus achieve less stability. Once the mixture is made, it is poured into molds that are hermetically closed and subsequently go into the cooling tunnels, where it acquires its pleasant texture.

Although the raw quince contains 13.4% carbohydrates, the quince jelly exceeds 50%, since it is made by adding sugars that in the case of the Quince Dulce Santiveri is fructose, therefore being better tolerated by diabetics. Its protein and fat content is very low.
