Honestly, I have no idea. It’s expensive at the Fauchon in NY, and I’m curious about the flavor myself.

The only brand that I found that makes guava jelly here in the US or at least groceries in my area carries is Palmalito, they are a company based in Florida. The taste is nothing but appalling, the jelly is so heavy on corn syrup that is tastes like honey dilluted in brown sugar, worst it crystallizes at the top, another sign of too much sugar instead of a lot more guava. Truly yucky! Their mango jam is equally horrid!

A bit off topic, but have you tried Champagne jelly?

MasPinaSarap, I do love apple butter which is a staple in apple orchard country in the U.S.; I have had some of the other jams as well but broadly speaking the French and English do seem to extract flavor from fruit so well…
