The daily work of research and experimentation of traditional Portuguese sweets recipes has borne fruit because it has been recognized by clients and friends, but also by judges of the various competitions in which Pastelaria Batalha has participated.
The prizes won in these competitions not only reward this work but also all the knowledge and experience that have been handed down over the years by the various generations of the family in the production of cakes and bread with high-quality traditional recipes.
The year 2016 was particularly great for us and difficult to match because we have won a total of 6 prizes.
