"Born in Porto and later expanded into Lisbon, Castro Atelier produces around 2,000 tarts per shop per day under strict protocols — each tart weighing about 24 grams and baked at 400 degrees Celsius — aiming for a crisp shell without burning and a less-sweet, velvety filling, a technical approach the brand frames as necessary to present the pastel de nata as an elevated ambassador of Portuguese gastronomy." - Rafael Tonon
