Among the ancient Greeks, the quince was a ritual offering at weddings, for it had come from the Levant with Aphrodite and remained sacred to her. Plutarch reported that a Greek bride would nibble a quince to perfume her kiss before entering the bridal chamber, "in order that the first greeting may not be disagreeable nor unpleasant". It was with a quince that Paris awarded Aphrodite. It was for a golden quince that Atalanta paused in her race. The Romans also used quinces; the Roman cookbook of Apicius gives recipes for stewing quince with honey, and even combining them, unexpectedly, with leeks. Pliny the Elder mentioned the one variety, Mulvian quince, that could be eaten raw. Columella mentioned three, one of which, the "golden apple" that may have been the paradisal fruit in the Garden of the Hesperides, has donated its name in Italian to the tomato, pomodoro. Toamnă cu aromă de gutui. Cultivarea gutuiului poate fi anterioară mărului, și este posibil ca mărul citat în Cântarea Cântarilor să fi fost în realitate un gutui. Vechii greci ofereau gutui la nunți, ritual care a venit din Orient împreună zeița Afrodita. Plutarh relatează ca miresele în Grecia mușcau dintr-o gutuie pentru a parfuma sărutul înainte de a intra în camera nupțială "ca primul sărut să nu fie dezagradabil" ("Întrebări romane" 3.65). Era o gutuie premiul pe care Paris l-a dat Afroditei. Cel mai bun tip de gutui venea din regiunea Cydonia, pe coasta nord-estică a insulei Creta, fruct cunoscut de greci ca "Mela kudonia" sau " măr de Cydonia" de unde provine de asemenea și numele ei stiințific.

“The quince (Cydonia oblongata) is native to the Caucasus and northern Persia, but cultivation spread to the eastern Mediterranean basin. Many suppose that the forbidden fruit of the Garden of Eden was a quince. In Greek legend Helen of Troy bribed Paris to award a quince to Aphrodite as the prize in a beauty contest, starting the Trojan War.

Medieval cooks regarded the quince as the most useful of fruits and spiced it with pepper, ginger, cloves, cinnamon and nutmeg. At medieval courts and banquets, nobles enjoyed quince jelly for dessert: cotignac in France, cotogna in Italy, and carne de membrillo in Spain, all still popular. In Tudor and Stuart times, quince marmalade, wrapped in gold foil, was regarded as an aphrodisiac.” David Karp
