Pastéis de nata are Portugal's gift to humanity: flaky pastry, egg custard and scorched spots on top that nobody can resist. This mould has the traditional Portuguese profile and measures 70 mm across and 20 mm high.
It is made of tinplate with an unusually thick tin layer of 8.4 g/m², which conducts heat quickly for crisp pastry and a creamy filling. It handles 250°C, which is exactly what those scorched spots require. Tinplate likes to be washed by hand and dried straight away, and then it lasts. The mould is sold individually and made in France by Gobel, who have been making bakeware since 1887.
