In addition to the secret family recipes, was added the nectar brought by the Arabs, sugar, a rare and expensive product, sugar became the center of attention, even becoming part of the wills of kings and high dignitaries for representing a valuable heritage.

From competition and daring, moments of great creativity arose in the kitchens of the convents and, over time, through the art of wandering, inheritances were transformed into perfect sweets.
They served to cure homesickness, love, to pamper kings and noblemans, treat moods and indulge their desires.
