Quince Storage Conditions

To ensure quince maintains its freshness for a long time, it is recommended to store it in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight. While it can be kept at room temperature for a short time, the vegetable compartment of the refrigerator is ideal for longer-term storage.

High humidity should be avoided, and quinces should not be stacked in a way that creates pressure on top of each other. When these conditions are met, the aroma and texture of the quince can be preserved for longer.

Quince Shelf Life

Fresh quince maintains its edibility for an average of 2–4 weeks under proper storage conditions. The shelf life of quinces kept in the refrigerator is longer than at ambient temperature. It is recommended that cut quinces be consumed quickly.

Where to Buy Quince?

For consumers seeking organically certified and pesticide-free products, shopping from reliable sources is important. When buying quince, producers whose production process is transparent, support local production, and are committed to pesticide-free agricultural principles should be preferred.

How is Quince Consumed?

Quince can be consumed raw by slicing it, as well as added to tables by cooking or using it in desserts. Due to its slightly hard structure, it is usually preferred in cooked form, though it can be added to salads by slicing thinly.

Consuming 1 portion per day (approximately 1 medium-sized quince) is sufficient for a balanced diet. When consumed with foods such as apples, pears, cinnamon, and walnuts, it is enriched in terms of both flavor and nutritional value.

Quince Production Process / From Farm to Table

At Antalya Natural Farm, quince production is carried out in line with pesticide-free agriculture and sustainability principles. Production is performed using methods that protect the natural structure of the soil, practices that respect biological balance, and controlled irrigation processes.

After harvest, the quinces are sorted and packaged without undergoing any chemical processing and delivered directly to the consumer. This approach increases both product reliability and flavor quality.
