In a world where sustainability is no longer optional, even traditional desserts must adapt. The pastel de nata, a Portuguese pastry born in monasteries centuries ago, is now travelling the world – frozen, safe, and sustainable.
At BY Foods, we believe that frozen pastry can be both delicious and responsible. Here’s how we’re helping shape the future of food with every box of nata we deliver.
Tradition meets innovation in frozen pastry
Our story begins with a classic: the pastel de nata, made according to the original monastic recipe. But behind each custard tart we export is a modern production model designed for efficiency, quality, and sustainability.
From carefully sourced ingredients to waste reduction and clean energy initiatives, we ensure every step adds value – not burden – to the planet.
Ultra-freezing for a 18-month shelf life
The secret behind our global reach is our freezing technology. Using blast freezing, we lock in freshness, flavour, and texture – without preservatives.
With an 18-month shelf life, our frozen pastéis de nata are ideal for international distribution. They allow better inventory control, reduce food waste, and enable businesses to serve premium pastry on demand.
FSC certified packaging for frozen foods
Packaging is critical in frozen food logistics, but it doesn’t have to come at the environment’s expense. We use FSC-certified cardboard and continue to develop alternative materials to reduce our packaging footprint further.
Our goal: protect the product throughout the cold chain while supporting a more sustainable food packaging system.
Cold chain logistics for global distribution
BY Foods currently exports to over 37 countries, from Europe to Asia and the Middle East. Ensuring quality across that distance requires a tightly managed cold chain.
By optimising shipping routes, consolidating deliveries, and maintaining a frozen supply chain from origin to shelf, we minimise waste and carbon impact while guaranteeing food safety and consistency.
Why sustainable frozen pastry is the future
Frozen pastry isn’t just about convenience – it’s about ensuring quality and reducing waste on a global scale. At BY Foods, we’re leading the way by combining traditional recipes with sustainable practices, long shelf life, and responsible logistics.
By combining a 18-month shelf life, certified packaging, and cold chain logistics, we’re setting new standards for sustainable frozen pastry production and distribution.
Whether you’re a distributor, retailer or foodservice professional, we offer more than a product – we offer a solution ready for global scale.
From Portugal to the world, one sustainable pastel de nata at a time.
