🍮 Introduction: Portugal’s Sugared Soul
From the cobbled streets of Lisbon to the sunlit cafés of Porto, Portugal’s dessert culture is a living tapestry woven from centuries of history, monastic ingenuity, and global influence. Egg yolks, sugar, and almonds form the golden trinity of many recipes, while spices from the Age of Exploration — cinnamon, anise, and cloves — whisper of far-off lands.
Whether enjoyed in a bustling pastelaria or at a seaside esplanade, these sweets are more than indulgences; they are edible heritage.
