At this very friendly man’s stand, I tried strong cow’s milk cheese topped with a spoonful of quince jelly. My very first time tasting quince, and most certainly not my last. 

Quince jelly, by the way, is made from the hard yellow fruit of the same name. Quince looks a bit like a pear and is too tart to eat raw, but turns sweet and pink when cooked.
