Many popular sayings have passed through generations using humor to sharply tell truths that we know well – our grandparents said it. This year, Confeitaria Peixinho was inspired by sayings from Portuguese popular culture, turned them inside out and adding originality, humor, egg yolks and lots of sugar to remember that Easter is coming and that at the family table sweets really can’t be missed.
In this house that dates back to 1856, not everything is Ovos Moles. In addition to the traditional sweets of the season, such as the Folar, Confeitaria Peixinho brings sponge cake to the table, remembering that two almonds in your hand are better than one flying away.
Keeping the original Ovos Moles recipe that is more than 5 centuries old, created by the region’s nuns, in this land of sweets those who have Raivas are king. Raivas is a fine and delicious biscuit made by hand as per Aveiro tradition. In fact, it is known in Aveiro that whoever laughs last takes the crown of profiteroles filled with Ovos Moles and covered in chocolate!
To purchase in store, at number 9 Rua de Coimbra, in Aveiro, Confeitaria Peixinho suggests placing an order in advance by email or telephone, for the convenience of customers. For those who are not in the city but have one eye on the barrel and the other on the fish, there is no point crying over spilled Ovos Moles; the brand sells conventual sweets throughout the country through its online store so you can eat and crave (for) more.
