Goya Guava Paste

Discover the authentic taste of the tropics with Goya Guava Paste, a traditional Latin American delicacy that brings the sweet, aromatic essence of ripe guava fruit to your kitchen. This smooth, dense paste is a beloved staple in Caribbean, Central American, and South American cuisines, where it's treasured for its intense guava flavor and versatility in both sweet and savory applications. Goya, a trusted name in Latin foods for over 80 years, creates this guava paste using time-honored methods that concentrate the fruit's natural sweetness and distinctive tropical taste. The paste has a firm, sliceable texture similar to quince paste or membrillo, making it perfect for cutting into portions or melting down for cooking. Its deep reddish-pink color and rich, floral-sweet flavor with subtle tartness captures the essence of fresh guava in a convenient, shelf-stable form. This versatile ingredient shines in countless culinary applications. Slice it thick to serve alongside manchego or cream cheese on crackers for an elegant appetizer, or pair it with sharp cheddar for the classic Cuban combination of guava and cheese. In baking, melt the paste to create fillings for pastries like pastelitos de guayaba, empanadas, or thumbprint cookies. It also works beautifully as a glaze for roasted meats, stirred into marinades for a tropical twist, or simply spread on toast or arepa bread. Whether you're preparing traditional Latin recipes or experimenting with fusion cuisine, Goya Guava Paste delivers authentic flavor that connects you to generations of Caribbean and Latin American cooking traditions.
