Visiting Portugal? One thing not to miss is the Portuguese pastries and one in particular. While most European countries have every right to be proud of their baking, each area usually has a particular speciality they call their own. In Portugal it’s the Almofada.
The ‘almofada’ (in English it’s pillow) refers to a pastry in Portuguese cuisine, characterized by its soft texture and often filled with sweet ingredients. There are several variations of this pastry, including different fillings like cream or fruit but a creamy custard is the most common, Almofada is recognized as a symbol of great Portuguese baking.
We recommend an almofada with afternoon coffee for a special treat in Portugal.
