So, what is the difference between Pastel de Nata and Pastel de Belém?

In fact, it has everything to do with its origin. The first recipe of the Pastel de Belém was created in 1837 by the monks of the emblematic Jerónimos Monastery. To date, the recipe is kept secret and therefore becomes a true specialty! Thus, only at the Fábrica Pastéis de Belém, the family pastry with more than 100 years where they are made, you will find the original Pastéis de Belém. Only there these little custard tarts can be called that since its name was even patented!

Belém custard tart - At the beginning of the 19th century, in Belém, next to the Jerónimos Monastery, there was a refining of sugar cane associated with a small place of varied commerce. As a result of the Liberal revolution that took place in 1820, all convents and monasteries in Portugal were closed in 1834, expelling the clergy and workers.

In an attempt at survival, someone from the Monastery puts on sale in this store some pastries, quickly called "Pastéis de Belém".

At the time, the Belém area was far from the city of Lisbon and the route was provided by steamboats. However, the grandeur of the Jerónimos Monastery and the Belém Tower attracted visitors who quickly got used to tasting the delicious pastries originating in the Monastery.

In 1837, the manufacture of the "Pastels of Belém" began, in facilities attached to refining, according to the old "secret recipe", coming from the Monastery. Transmitted and exclusively known by the master pastry chefs who manufacture them by hand, in the "Secret Workshop". This recipe remains the same to this day.

In fact, the only true factory of the "Pastéis de Belém" manages, through a careful choice of ingredients, to provide today the palate of the old Portuguese sweets.
