Conventual sweets

Conventual Sweets (Portuguese: Doçaria Conventual, Spanish: Dulces Conventuales, Italian: Dolci conventuali) are sweet confectionery items typically made by nuns in convents and monasteries throughout countries with a strong Catholic presence, particularly Portugal, Spain and Italy, along with former colonies of these countries. A specific repertoire of unique sweets from these convents developed over the years, often becoming codified as part of the national cuisine.
