Conchita Guava Preserve 11 oz

Conchita guava preserve is the thick, sliceable kind — closer to a soft paste than a runny jam — the version that holds its shape inside a warm pastelito without weeping through the dough.

Packed in an 11 oz jar, made from guava pulp, sugar, and citrus, with that unmistakable pink-amber color and the floral-bright finish guava lovers recognize immediately.

Common Uses: spooned into pastelitos de guayaba before baking, spread on Cuban toast at breakfast, layered with cream cheese on crackers for merienda, or stirred into yogurt. Also works as a glaze for roast pork or chicken.

Cultural Context: guava and cream cheese — guayaba con queso — is the dessert pairing every Cuban household knows by heart, served after Sunday dinner or alongside a cafecito in the afternoon. The preserve form (rather than the firm bar of guava paste) is what most home bakers reach for when filling pastries because it spreads evenly and bakes without cracking.

Pairs With: cream cheese, queso blanco, Cuban crackers, pan cubano, puff pastry, and a small cup of strong coffee.

Vegan, gluten-free, and nut-free. A staple in Miami pantries and harder to find on grocery shelves outside South Florida — ships nationwide to Cuban-American families wherever they are.
