About Queijada

Queijada is a traditional Portuguese pastry, adored for its rich and delicate flavor. Originating from Sintra, these sweet treats have become an iconic part of Portuguese cuisine. They are made using simple yet indulgent ingredients, typically including fresh cheese or ricotta, sugar, eggs, flour, and cinnamon. The pastry features a smooth filling encased in a lightly golden crust that offers a delightful contrast in texture. While Queijadas are a satisfying dessert, their nutritional profile includes notable indulgent elements. They are high in sugar and fat due to the presence of cheese and eggs, meaning they should be enjoyed in moderation. On the upside, protein from the cheese and eggs can provide a small nutritional boost. Despite their calorie density, Queijadas remain a timeless cultural delicacy loved for their comforting sweetness and artisanal preparation.
