K-JADA

The Queijada (spelt Kay-Jah-Duh) is a lip-smackingly sweet pastry from Portugal. Its compact shape hides the kick of flavour it provides; each single queijada perfected by hand, following a recipe honed throughout centuries and enhanced by the freshest ingredients available.

K-Jada is the brand that makes this delicious but little-known delicacy known to the global market.

THE HISTORY

The oldest known record that mentions Queijada dates to 1590, where a receipt of a ship’s cargo details this pastry as a form of payment. Better than money…

It’s popularity soared and made this pastry readily available throughout the whole of Portugal, and, slowly but surely, new variations started popping up, according to regional tastes and ingredients. No other pastry or traditional dish reflects so faithfully Portugal’s seafaring tradition. There are endless permutations of the Queijada, one for each exotic ingredient the Portuguese found in their travels.
