DESCRIPTION:

Cheesecake is one of the oldest desserts in human history, 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 it before performances during the original Olympics in 776 BC! It also served as a wedding cake throughout the Greek and Roman empires.

The first cheesecake recipe in print also comes from the Greeks 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 Romans got a hold of the original recipe, they augmented it, adding eggs and cheeses. As the recipe traveled to Europe over the coming centuries, each country put its spin on this basic dessert. Cutting it into slivers for serving and topping with fruit was the contribution of the chefs of King Henry the VIII of England in the 16th century.

In 1545 cheesecake saw its first appearance in a cookbook.

But, the 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, Arnold Reuben, is credited with creating the New York-style cheesecake.

There are several different versions of cheesecake. Blueberry cheesecake came about through experimentation, and blueberry and strawberry cheesecake are two of the most popular versions on the planet.
