Storage Guidelines

Commercial storage guidance for quince fruit. Storage life depends on initial quality, maturity, cultivar and handling; this is not a household shelf-life guarantee.

Quince bruise easily despite their fuzzy skin and need careful handling; green, immature fruit scald readily in storage. Sensitive to ethylene: keep away from ethylene-producing fruit. Source: USDA Agriculture Handbook 66 (rev. 2016).
