Known as a Grisons specialty, the tart, like the tree nut itself, has its origins in southern climes.
The history of the nut tart is closely linked to the tradition of emigrant Engadine confectioners. Thanks to "Bacher Urs", Amadeo's father, it found its way to the south side of the Simplon. The vanilla-flavoured shortcrust pastry encloses a firm mass - the core of every nut tart and also the secret of every baker. The Simplon version contains cream, sugar, honey and walnuts.
