Aveiro, is a city known for its privileged location, where the Ria and the Sea come together. Its people, the cultural, industrial, historical and religious heritage, make this city a must for all Portuguese and foreign visitors.

Besides architecture and landscaping, gastronomy is another enormous virtue of Aveiro. Strongly influenced by the pragmatism of the fairs of the Convent of Jesus of Aveiro and the city, the conventual confectionery has become part of the DNA of the region.

Ovos Moles de Aveiro were the first candy of this convent to arouse the interest of the monarchy and the large Portuguese families. Although initially used to heal and strengthen the sick, it was inevitable that they would be appreciated by all those who tasted it, despite being so simple confectionery.

The artisanal ones Lumber Barrels and Porcelain appeared due to the need to conserve and reserve the Creme de Ovos Moles used as stuffing in the Moles Eggs of Aveiro. It is currently decorated with motifs that invoke moliceiros boats and salt pans.

From the cream of Ovos Moles, the nuns created another product, influenced by the region of Aveiro. The Castanhas de Ovos arise from the richness of chestnut trees that the region of Aveiro has, especially on the banks of the River Vouga.

Another delicacy inspired by the city of Aveiro and coming from the cream used in the products already mentioned, is the Moliceiro com Creme de Ovos Moles. The Moliceiros, which used to be used for the harvesting of the moliço, are now the typical boats of Aveiro, one of the city's ex-libris. The cookie in the shape of a boat stuffed with Ovos Moles cream reminds us of the Ria and the simple but unique flavors of this city.
