Charutos dos Arcos

Regional Dessert €

Charutos dos Arcos is one of the lush green river valleys of the Minho's most cherished sweet traditions, tied to local ingredients and a long pastry heritage. The combination of local eggs, sugar and regional flavourings gives Charutos dos Arcos a character impossible to replicate elsewhere. Small-batch production by family confectioners in Alto Minho keeps the recipe close to its origins. Best enjoyed fresh with a bica coffee — the definitive sweet moment of any visit to Alto Minho.
