Lovingly Crafted in Portugal
Portuguese pastel de nata is the real hero of the contemporary patisserie story. Despite its origins in 15th century Portuguese convents, we’re proud to be a part of its evolution as one of the most popular 21st century sweet treats.
It’s also known as a Doce Conventual back home in Portugal. This alternative name references how it was created purely by chance when nuns found themselves with masses of egg yolks to find a use for. (They’d used the egg whites for starching clothes.)
The result of the nuns’ ingenuity was the golden, mouth-watering, velvety vanilla custard at the delicious heart of the lovely Portuguese pastel de nata. Serendipity!
Maria Natas provides premium, authentic and 100% natural Portuguese pastel de nata to the food service industry.
That doesn’t mean making Portuguese pastel de nata here in the UK.
Our artisan pastel de nata are lovingly crafted in Portugal itself by skilled pastry chefs. And the freshness is frozen in, so we can enjoy authentic nata by nata satisfaction in the UK.
