Conchita Guava Paste (Pasta de Guayaba) — 22oz

The Cuban pantry essential — Conchita pasta de guayaba

If a Cuban household has one shelf-stable sweet, it's guava paste. Conchita's pasta de guayaba is the standard: dense, ruby-red, intensely sweet, with that unmistakable tropical guava aroma. One 22oz brick goes a long way — for the classic cream-cheese-and-guava combo, for pastelitos at home, for glazing pork or duck.

Product details

• 22 oz (1 lb 6 oz) brick
• Made from real guava + sugar
• Shelf-stable until opened
• Slices cleanly with a hot knife

How to use

1. Slice and serve with cream cheese on crackers — the classic Cuban breakfast or merienda.
2. Cut into squares to fill homemade pastelitos with puff pastry.
3. Melt with a splash of water for a glaze over pork shoulder, ribs, or duck.
4. Spoon over toast with butter for a Cuban take on jam.
5. Cube and roll in coconut for instant guava truffles.

How do you cut guava paste cleanly?

Run a knife under hot water, dry it, then slice — the warm blade glides through. For pastelitos, refrigerate the brick first to firm it up, then cut precise squares.
