Heritage in a Glass

This iconic custard tart was born in 18th-century Lisbon. It was created by monks who had an abundance of egg yolks left over after using egg whites to starch clothes and make wine. To avoid waste, they found a delicious new use for the leftovers!

Made with a flaky, crunchy pastry shell filled with rich egg custard and baked until the top is slightly caramelized, the Pastel de Nata has become a traditional Portuguese dessert. It’s typically enjoyed with coffee and a dash of cinnamon.

Today, it stands as a symbol of Portuguese heritage – sweet, creamy, and delicately flavored with hints of vanilla.
