A local product known in the area as Pão de Ló do Painho, this sponge cake is recognized internationally, preserving its original characteristics and quality always known by the local population.

Its recognition is so significant that many times, people know Pão de Ló da Ti’Piedade and don’t know that the village of Painho belongs to the Municipality of Cadaval. The manufacturer perpetuates the tradition and history of the handmade production of this sponge cake, a product that is unique to the Portuguese confectionery that consists of a light and flavorful egg loaf that is distinguished by its deliciously creamy center, which results of an irregular baking process. The original recipe dates from centuries ago and was taken by the Portuguese to Japan during the 16th century Discoveries Era.

Because it’s a unique product, the Municipality of Cadaval has declared it a Municipal Public Interest.
