Originally cultivated in the Middle East, the quince was brought westward by the Roman Empire. In fact, the first English marmalade of record was made with quince. Membrillo is from Valencia, Spain. The city is situated on the banks of the Turia river, on the eastern coast of the Iberian peninsula and the western part of the Mediterranean Sea, fronting the Gulf of Valencia.
