Quince cheese (codonyat in Catalan) is a preparation made in many parts of Southern Europe, Western Asia and Latin America. It's a kind of jelly-like paste made of quince fruit cooked in water with sugar. It's usually eaten with a toast or loaf of bread, with cheese, or mixed with yogurt.
Many families in mountain areas used to pick quince fruit in autumn, and turning it into quince cheese was a way of making sure they could have food that would be preserved for the winter months.
