Conchita Guava Marmalade 16 oz Pack of 6

Conchita guava marmalade is the spoonable, spreadable version of guava paste — looser texture, brighter fruit, easier to fold into a pastry or swirl into cream cheese without warming it first.

Made by Conchita Foods, a Miami-based brand that has been supplying Cuban kitchens since the exile generation rebuilt their pantries in South Florida. The 16 oz jar comes in a pack of 6 — enough for a household that bakes regularly or splits with family.

Common Uses: filling for pastelitos de guayaba, layered with cream cheese on Cuban toast, spooned over flan, stirred into yogurt, glaze for roast pork, breakfast spread on tostadas.

Cultural Context: Guava-and-cheese is the defining sweet-savory pairing of Cuban breakfast and merienda. The marmalade format — softer than the brick paste most people grew up with — is what bakeries use when they want a faster-melting filling and what abuelas reach for when guava paste feels too stiff to work with at room temperature.

Pairs With: queso crema, queso blanco, puff pastry, Cuban crackers, café con leche, vanilla ice cream.

Hard to find outside Cuban grocery aisles in Miami and Hialeah. Ships nationwide to Cuban-American households restocking the pantry.
