Cheesecakes

A Journey Through Time: The Rich History of Cheesecake 

Cheesecake, a beloved dessert enjoyed worldwide, traces its origins back over 4,000 years to ancient Greece. While many assume it was a creation of New York, its roots delve much deeper into history. Picture yourself transported back in time as we explore the fascinating journey of this delectable treat. 

Ancient Greek Beginnings 

The journey begins on the picturesque Greek island of Samos, Circa 2,000 B.C., where physical anthropologists unearthed cheese moulds, hinting at the earliest forms of cheesecake. Cheese and its derivatives likely existed for millennia before this, making cheesecake a culinary treasure steeped in antiquity.  

In ancient Greece, cheesecake wasn't just a dessert; it was revered as a source of energy, even finding its way onto the tables of athletes during the inaugural Olympic games in 776 B.C. 

Evolution Under Roman Rule 

The Romans, upon conquering Greece, appropriated the cheesecake recipe, infusing it with their own culinary prowess. They added crushed cheese and eggs, baking it under a hot brick and serving it warm.  

This modified version, known as "libuma," became a delicacy reserved for special occasions. Marcus Cato, a Roman politician, recorded one of the earliest known Roman cheesecake recipes, immortalising this delectable dessert in history. 

European Influence and Innovation 

With the expansion of the Roman Empire, cheesecake recipes spread across Europe, each region adding its own cultural twist. In the 18th century, European bakers began incorporating beaten eggs instead of yeast, transforming cheesecake into the dessert we recognize today. As Europeans immigrated to America, they brought along their cherished recipes, laying the groundwork for the evolution of cheesecake in the New World. 

American Innovation: Cream Cheese Revolution 

In 1872, a serendipitous discovery by a New York dairy farmer led to the creation of cream cheese, a quintessential ingredient in American cheesecake. Packaged under the Philadelphia Cream Cheese brand in 1875, it quickly gained popularity and remains a staple in cheesecake recipes to this day.
