About Blueberry Cheesecake Day
Ends: May 26, 2022
DESCRIPTION:
Cheesecake is one of the oldest desserts in human history and has been eaten since ancient times in Greece. The desert originated on the Greek Island of Samos a little over 4,000 years ago. The dessert was so prized, athletes ate before performances during the original Olympics in 776 BC! It was also served as a wedding cake throughout the Greek and Roman empires.
The first cheesecake recipe in print comes from the Greeks as well, in 230 AD and included wheat flour and kernels, honey and pressed cheese. The first known recipe, however, was by Roman politician Marcus Cato sometime in the century leading up to the birth of Christ.
Of course, once the Roman’s got a hold of the original recipe, they augmented it, adding eggs and additional cheeses. As the recipe traveled to Europe over the coming centuries, each country put its own spin on this basic dessert. That it is cut into slivers for serving and topped with fruit, this was the contribution of the chefs of Henry Tudor, King Henry the VIII of England in during the 16th Century.
In 1545 cheesecake saw its first appearance in a cookbook.
But, cooks were not done with the dessert. Enter the United States in the 19th Century and the invention of cream cheese in 1875.
Cream cheese became the base ingredient for what we now call New York Style Cheesecake, which includes more egg yolks and cream cheese. The same man who invented the Reuben sandwich is credited with the creation of the New York style cheese cake, Arnold Reuben.
There are several different versions of cheesecake. Blueberry cheesecake came about through experimentation. Who chose to put blueberry jam on top of cheesecake first is unknown. However, blueberry and strawberry cheesecake continue to be two of the most popular versions on the planet.
