Description / Facilities
It is a conventual sweet and one of the symbols of the Arcos de Valdevez confectionery.

The name is registered by “Doçaria Central” since 1963, remaining the recipe a well kept secret. Other pastries shops began manufacturing the “Charutos dos Arcos”, presenting variations on the original recipe: adding almond, orange zest, malabar gourd, etc.
