Spanish term or phrase: DULCE DE MEMBRILLO
Estoy traduciendo las etiquetas de la línea de mermeladas que fabrica un cliente chileno para exportación. El dulce de membrillo es como un bloque, sólido, a diferencia de las mermeladas. Si yo tuviera que inventarle un nombre, diría "Quince brick". ¿Algún gourmet o goloso que me pueda ayudar? Gracias!

quince jelly


Explanation:
It is a block but that doesn't sound particularly appetising. Here is Spain it's eaten with queso de Burgos and I would use the word jelly (as suggested by the Oxford dictionary).
Hope it helps.
Good luck,

quince preserves


Explanation:
In American English, the word "preserves" is the most neutral term for referring to fruit that has been preserved with sugar. I'm very famliar with "dulce de membrillo" after having lived in Argentina for two years, and I'm aware that the official way it's translated on the exported cans is "quince paste".

However, it's not really a paste (there's nothing "pasty" about its consistency) but is more of a very stiff jam that can be sliced, often served with a mild cheese as a dessert (at least in Argentina).

So, if you want to use the same translation used by the exporters of this product, go with "quince paste" but I think it's misleading to English speakers who have a certain idea of what a paste is. Or, you can help start a new (and better) trend by calling it "preserves."
