La Cubanita Sugar Free Guava Paste 7 oz
La Cubanita's sugar-free guava paste delivers the dense, sliceable pasta de guayaba Cuban kitchens have leaned on for generations — same texture, same deep coral color, without the cane sugar.
Cut into slabs and pair with a wedge of cream cheese and saltines for the classic merienda. Cube it for pastelitos de guayaba, fold it into thumbprint cookies, or melt a square into oatmeal. The 7 oz block slices cleanly straight from the package.
Common Uses: guayaba y queso on crackers, pastelitos filling, empanada filling, glaze for pork or chicken, spooned over flan, paired with manchego.
Cultural Context: For diabetic abuelos and anyone watching sugar, the guava-and-cheese ritual didn't disappear — it just needed a different block on the cutting board. La Cubanita is the brand most Cuban-American households reach for when the doctor says no más azúcar but no one is willing to give up merienda.
Pairs With: queso crema, queso blanco, Cuban crackers, café con leche, manchego, mascarpone.
Ships nationwide — a pantry essential that's hard to source outside South Florida grocery aisles.
