The history of the ORIGINAL Portuguese Custard Tart (Pastel de Nata) -Pastel de Belém [PT & EN subs]
The Pastel de Nata is, now a days, a symbol of Portugal and cam be found all over the world. But the original one (Pastel de Belém) is only available from one “padaria” in Belém.
So we set up a meeting with Penélope Clarinha, one of the current managers, and member of the family that keeps the tradition going, to find out a little about the history and confection of the famous pastel, which has been kept a secret for hundreds of years.
Espero que gostem.

Ótimo vídeo! Muito obrigado!
It’s so helpful just hearing the natural conversation and picking new words and phrases out. Muito obrigado Carla! You make a huge difference for those of us that have few listening resources. And those gorgeous tiles in the shop! 🤤 😊
In England we have custard tarts not pastel de belém
Olá! That’s right as pastéis de Belém are only available at that place in the video – Belém. However the Portuguese Pastéis de Nata are widely sold in England (as well as other countries) these days – cafés and supermarkets such as Lidl’s sell them – that’s what I meant in the video. But as you point out the English have their own custard tarts that are similar in looks but very different in taste, I’d say.
is this video after covid ?
No. We’ve filmed it before 👍🏽
Muito interesante! I’m tempted to try to make them at home
Wow I loved that!
Thank you for the unique journey, was so interesting and helped a great deal with comprehension of the language….
Muito Abrigada ❤️
are you the podcast with Carla ???? i remember your beautiful voice
Please make this type of video more with subtitles and Love your video.thank you
Wow.. thanks a Lot!
Essa senhora dos pasteis de belem e bem antipatica. Muito chata, interrompe a entrevistadora o tempo todo. Fazendo grsndes coisas sobre os pasteis de nata que sao feitos em muitos lugares em Portugual que sao igualmente gostosos ou ate mais
Muito obrigada por comentar ☺️ mas a dona Penélope foi prestável e atenciosa conosco. Foi um prazer fazer esta entrevista 🙂😋
Love it
Quando você diz “o que é que” como você pronuncia? Obrigada
It can be pronounced in 2 slightly different ways and If i had to teach the 2 ways of pronouncing it to an English native speaker I would write them like this: Oo’kyek, Oo’keh’k.
Hope this helps you 🙂
Que diferença tem com u pastel de natas?? Acho que são muito idênticos
A melhor resposta que ouvi a essa pergunta foi: “quantos pastéis de Belém consegue comer de seguida?” No meu caso, pelo menos 4 😅 Mas também adoro um bom pastel de nata ou 2 😋
This video deserves more views!

Obrigada, Carla! Adoro os seus vídeos e utilizo-os com os meus alunos do SPEAK SOCIAL. Com este vídeo aprendi uma coisa curiosíssima que não sabia: que, nos conventos, as gemas abundavam devido à utilização das claras para engomar os hábitos das freiras. Daí os maravilhosos doces de ovos conventuais. Parabéns!!!
Obrigada, Alexandra 😊
loved the idea and the conversation, just wish they were in a quieter place. i was distracted by the background noise. thanks carla
Ola! Ha uns meses que encontrei o teu canal, muito fixe e útil. Gostaria se falares menos em inglês e mais em português ツ
That was so interesting. And it was great that the Penelope spoke so clearly and slowly, I was able to understand a lot of what she said.
