In Portugal there is no war, but there are those who say that in Lisbon the ‘battle’ of the pastries of Nata is lived. There are those who prefer the traditional Pastel of Belém, but there are many who prefer the pastel rivals of the butter. Comparisons aside, what is certain is that both Belém’s pastels and butter’s cream pastels are much appreciated in our country and the latter have now come to Spain and are already being a success.
After the famous butterfly cream pastels got spread throughout the north and center of the country, it was time to go to Paris and Macau and, more recently, to Madrid. The butter shop arrived in the Spanish capital on January 22 and, since that day, the lines at the door of the number four of the Carrera de San Jerónimo, in Puerta del Sol, have been endless.
The queues are as large as in Lisbon and Porto
It cites a former twitter user that reveals to have waited 35 minutes in line to buy the Madrid butter’s cream pastels. Like the buttering rooms in Portugal, there is also a glass between the client’s zone and the factory, as well as Estremoz marble workbenches and Lioz marble and gold glass coatings.
If you are strolling with Puerta Del Sol in the Spanish capital and hearing the bell, know that it may not be that of the church. It is that in butter, all the pastel bumps of cream are marked with the traditional bell touch.
Nata Pastels in Madrid are more expensive than in Portugal
In Madrid, each pastry costs two euros and the six -unit package is sold to 12 euros. It should be noted that the price of each unit is more expensive in Spain than in Portugal, since in brand stores in our country can buy a cream pastel for 1.30 euros.
It should be noted that the butter was founded in 2014, in Chiado, in a historic building whose construction dates back to 1900, and from an early age their cream pastries began to rival with the already classic pastels of Belém.
When visiting a brand store, you can always watch ‘live and in color’ to the whole process of production of the Portuguese candy.
