The Origins Of Cheesecake
The first cheesecakes were nothing like you have now. You probably will not even like the older versions. However, that is where they started from.
4000 years ago, on the Island of Samos in Greece, cheesecake was made by combining pounded cheese with flour and honey. Back then, cheesecakes were not only consumed for their taste but were considered a very important source of energy. Did you know that these cheesecakes were served to all the Olympic participants in the first Olympic Games in Greece in 776 BC? In addition, they were a very popular dessert at Greek weddings and were served to guests and attendants. So you see, this is how the cheesecake story started!
How The Cheesecake Came To New York
The fame of the cheesecake rose from there and different recipes for the same dish were introduced by the Europeans, the British, and the Americans. The New York Style Cheesecake came to the country through Arnold Reuben. He was a renowned chef and was served cheese pie at a party. He was so intrigued by the dish that he decided to come up with one of his own, a dish which is known today as the New York Cheesecake.
What Makes Cheesecake Taste So Good?
Cheesecake has a distinctive taste, and its amazing ingredients are what make it so loved by everyone all over the world. A lot of elements are combined to make this amazing delicacy, but the most important constituent of a cheesecake is cream cheese. A good amount of cream cheese is added to create a good cheesecake.
If you have ever tasted cream cheese on its own, you will notice that the taste is sharp and a bit salty. But in a cheesecake, it is not overpowering. How is that achieved? By adding just the right amount of sugar so that there is a good balance of flavors.
There is definitely a tangy taste in cheesecake, but all the ingredients are added in such precise amounts that a rich and creamy texture is created which just melts in your mouth when you take a bite.
Many cheesecakes come with a base consisting of graham crackers or biscuits, mixed with melted butter to give the perfect crunch and nuttiness to the cheesecake.
How Many Cheesecake Flavors Are There?
Cheesecakes come in many different flavors. If something sweet is popular, there is probably a cheesecake flavor for it. Even though many people enjoy the simple, basic version of cheesecake, there are others who love it in fruit flavors or other unique ones.
A few cheesecake flavors that we would encourage you to try are:
- New York-style cheesecake
- Mango cheesecake
- Chocolate cheesecake
- Apple pie cheesecake
