Pastel de Nata Story
The recipe for this delicacy dates back over 300 years to Belém, west of Lisbon. Pastéis de nata were made by monks at the Jerónimos Monastery (now a UNESCO World Heritage Site). At the time, the nuns and monks used egg whites to starch their clothes, and the leftover egg yolks became a staple ingredient in desserts. The monks started selling pastéis de nata when money was needed to support the monastery. When the monastery eventually closed in 1834, the recipe was sold to the owners of the Fábrica de Pastéis de Belém, which opened in 1837 and remains the most popular place to buy them in Lisbon. The shop is just a three-minute walk from the Jerónimos Monastery, so it’s definitely worth a visit if you ever find yourself in Lisbon!
