Who is Mister Nata?

A piece of Portugal in the Netherlands
Behind Mister Nata lies a man with a dream: José Cruz, born and raised in Portugal, now living in Amsterdam. With a great passion for gastronomy and a deep connection to the Portuguese heritage, José decided to bring a piece of his native country to the Netherlands. What started as a desire to share the flavors of home, grew into a mission to bring the classic among Portuguese pastries – the Pastel de Nata – to the Benelux.

The perfect pastel de nata
For those who don't know it yet: the Pastel de Nata is a delicacy that has no equal. A crispy, airy puff pastry filled with a creamy custard made from cream, egg yolks, sugar, flour and a touch of lemon. It is a pastry that has been spreading joy in Portugal for over 300 years and is now also conquering the hearts of the Benelux.

José's quest for the perfect pastel de nata took him straight back to the roots: the sunny bakeries of Portugal. With great care and dedication, Mister Nata selects premium quality products, straight from Portugal, to preserve the authentic taste.

Why Mister Nata?
The idea for Mister Nata arose from a clear lack. Although Portuguese cuisine is loved worldwide, it was difficult to find genuine Portuguese products in the Benelux. With his knowledge of gastronomy and his passion for perfection, José decided it was time to change that. His goal? To let everyone in the Netherlands and Belgium enjoy one of the 7 culinary wonders of Portugal.

The sun of Lisbon in your home
What makes Mister Nata so special is that it is not just about offering a pastel de nata, but about bringing an experience. While you enjoy the crunchy crust and the silky filling, you feel the Lisbon sun on your skin. It is a taste journey to Portugal, without leaving your home.

A mission with passion
Mister Nata is more than a webshop; it is an experience. One where you bring authentic Portuguese gastronomy into your home. And where you get to know the flavours, traditions and joy of Portugal. Thanks to José's dedication, you can now enjoy the Pastel de nata you deserve – with love, craftsmanship and sunshine.
