If we wish to refer to the original place where, since the beginning of the nineteenth century and until today, we can find these delicious sweet pastries. From the area of Belem (next to ”Mosteiro dos Jeronimos” – the Heironymite Monastery, Lisbon) they have become known all over the world. We can find in various countries a similar sweet called “Portuguese egg tarts”, however, the real and unique recipe of Portugese “Pasteis de Belem” remains a well-kept secret!
