About Portugease tarte

Portuguese Tarte, known as "Pastel de Nata," is a beloved pastry originating from Portugal with roots tracing back to 18th-century monasteries. This small custard tart features a flaky, buttery puff pastry crust filled with a creamy, rich custard made of egg yolks, sugar, milk, and hints of cinnamon and lemon zest. Renowned for its perfectly caramelized top and creamy interior, it is a decadent treat often enjoyed warm. While the tart is undeniably indulgent, the egg yolk custard provides a source of protein, and the milk contributes calcium. However, it is high in sugar, fats, and calories, making it more suited for occasional enjoyment rather than regular consumption. Its sumptuous flavor and delicate textures make it an iconic dessert that embodies the richness of Portuguese cuisine.
