Traditional Pastéis de Nata (Pack of 6)

Description

Indulge in the ultimate Portuguese sweet treat with our Traditional Pastéis de Nata. Handcrafted following a time-honored recipe that dates back centuries, each custard tart is a masterpiece of textures and flavors.

Our bakers carefully laminate the pastry dough to ensure dozens of micro-layers that bake into an incredibly crispy, light, and flaky crust. The heart of the tart is filled with a rich, velvety egg custard, perfectly sweetened and baked at high temperatures to achieve those iconic, beautiful caramelized dark spots on top.

Key Features & Tasting Notes:
• Authentic Recipe: Made using traditional techniques and premium local ingredients.
• Texture: A perfect contrast between the shattering crunch of the puff pastry and the smooth, creamy melt-in-your-mouth custard.
• Flavor Profile: Rich egg custard with subtle hints of lemon zest and natural vanilla, beautifully complemented by caramelized sugar notes.

Serving Suggestions:
To experience the true taste of a Lisbon café right at home, we highly recommend warming the tarts in a preheated oven at 180°C for 4 to 5 minutes until the pastry regains its signature crispiness. Just before serving, lightly dust them with ground cinnamon and powdered sugar according to your preference. Pair it with a hot espresso (bica) for the perfect afternoon break.

Ingredients & Allergen Information:
• Ingredients: Wheat flour, premium butter, fresh egg yolks, milk, sugar, lemon peel, and cinnamon.
