Conchita Guava Paste 14.1 oz

Conchita guava paste is the dense, sliceable block of cooked-down guava and sugar that lives in nearly every Cuban-American refrigerator — the one you cut into squares with a butter knife and eat with a piece of queso blanco.

Packaged in the familiar 14.1 oz bar, firm enough to slice cleanly, soft enough to melt into pastry dough at 350°F. Made from guava pulp, sugar, and pectin.

Common Uses: pastelitos de guayaba, guava-and-cream-cheese empanadas, casquitos paired with cream cheese on Cuban crackers, glazed over pound cake, melted into thumbprint cookies, or sliced straight onto buttered Cuban bread for breakfast.

Cultural Context: Guava paste — pasta de guayaba — is the Cuban diaspora's universal sweet. It bridges generations: the abuela who served it with queso after dinner, the kid who took pastelitos in a school lunch, the cafecito break at any Miami bakery where the guava pastry is gone by 10 a.m. Conchita is the brand most Cuban households reach for by default.

Pairs With: queso blanco, cream cheese, Cuban crackers, café con leche, María cookies, puff pastry sheets, and good vanilla ice cream.

Shelf-stable until opened, refrigerate after. Ships nationwide to households who can't find it on the regular grocery shelf outside South Florida.
