Since 1837

At the beginning of the 19th century, in Belém, next to the Jerónimos Monastery, there was a sugar cane refining operation associated with a small place of varied trade. As a consequence of the Liberal revolution that occurred in 1820, in 1834 all convents and monasteries in Portugal were closed, expelling the clergy and workers.
In 1837, the manufacture of “Pastéis de Belém” began, in facilities attached to the refinery, according to the old “secret recipe”, originating from the Monastery. Transmitted and exclusively known by the master pastry chefs who make them by hand, at the “Oficina do Segredo”. This recipe remains the same to this day.
