About Portuguese tart

Portuguese Tarts, known as Pastéis de Nata, are iconic pastries originating from Portugal, particularly from the Monastery of Jerónimos in Lisbon. These custard-filled treats are made with a flaky puff pastry shell and a creamy filling of egg yolks, sugar, milk, and a touch of vanilla or lemon zest, often finished with a caramelized top. While they are rich in flavor, their calorie content is moderate compared to larger desserts, typically ranging between 150-200 calories per tart. Egg yolks provide a source of protein and essential nutrients like lutein, while milk offers calcium. However, the high sugar content and refined flour in the pastry can make them less suitable for frequent indulgence. Portuguese Tarts are best enjoyed as an occasional treat and celebrated for their irresistible blend of textures and flavors that showcase traditional Portuguese baking craftsmanship.
